$10K Sketch Card Sale Sparks Artist Backlash, Topps Chrome Labubu Doubles in Price & Quick Flips at Card Shows
<p>This week on <em>Hobby Nonsense</em>, Jesse welcomes <strong>Ray back from his trip</strong> and the duo dives into one of the busiest hobby weeks in recent memory!</p><p>They kick things off with the <strong>Topps Chrome Labubu release</strong>, which may be even more limited than expected — and has already <strong>doubled in price</strong> on the secondary market. From there, they share their experiences at <strong>The Nashional Card Show</strong> in Nashville, where Ray managed to make some quick flips and extra cash on the floor.</p><p>Next, the guys discuss one of the biggest headlines of the week — a <strong>$10,000 sketch card sale</strong> that’s sparked a debate among artists about fair compensation and how rising demand is reshaping the sketch market.</p><p>Then, they dig into Disney news, covering <strong>Disney Chrome Sapphire</strong> and <strong>Disney Mint</strong>, two premium releases following right on the heels of Disney Wonder and Chrome. With <strong>four major Disney products in less than two months</strong>, could collectors be hitting a <strong>buyer fatigue wall</strong>?</p><p>Finally, Ray responds to <strong>Clever Cuban Cards’ comments</strong> from the last episode about a Pokémon “bubble” — and explains why he believes we’re in a <strong>healthy market correction</strong>, not a collapse.</p><p>From Labubu hype to sketch card controversy and Disney oversaturation, this episode has it all.</p>
