We’re all collectors in one way or another. Some of us collect coins and stamps, while others prefer collecting memories. If you’re reading this, you probably are a collector of vintage pop culture items like comics and action figures. Reasons for collecting these items are also different; for some it’s about nostalgia, while for others […]
A new LEGO rumor has indicated that a long-requested set tied to The Lord of the Rings could finally be releasing in 2027. Over the past few years, LEGO has been expanding its lineup of products related to The Lord of the Rings more than ever. This has resulted in some massive sets based on […]
You’d be hard pressed to find a movie franchise as massive and successful as Star Wars. What started off as a one-shot space opera, eventually grew into a trilogy, a trilogy of trilogies, and eventually, an IP spanning multiple platforms and mediums. Animated shows, games, toys, and anything else you can think of have had […]
The Pokémon TCG has spent decades teaching collectors that Charizard is usually the culprit whenever a vintage Fire-type card reaches a truly absurd price. That logic is understandable. Charizard remains the hobby’s most recognizable monster, and its rarest cards routinely dominate headlines whenever another auction result pushes the market into increasingly ridiculous territory. This time, […]
Even before the first trailer dropped for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, fans were buzzing about the prospect of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher appearing in the film. And while trailers and the Disney+ Punisher: One Last Kill special helped build this hype, the character himself really deserves the credit. Punisher is a unique figure in the Marvel […]
For many Pokemon fans, there are some cards that will just be forever out of reach. Even cards that you could theoretically pull from a booster can be so rare as to be nearly impossible to encounter in the wild. And then, there are the rarest cards, the limited runs that were never available in […]
Ghost Rider has been a fan favorite since he first blazed onto the cover of 1972’s Marvel Spotlight #5. With his striking design, evocative name, and death-defying powers, it would be more of a surprise if he didn’t catch on. It’s even less of a surprise that ever since the live-action rights to the character […]
Even The Justice League needs help from time to time. Sure, there’s the League’s extended roster, but those heroes are often busy dealing with their own local villains or specialised threats. So what do you do when there are more threats than you can handle? Delegate. And who do you delegate to? The interns, of […]
Sometimes, despite collectors’ best efforts, it becomes a simple fact that toys weren’t designed to last decades after their original manufacture. Glue degrades on stickers, leaving them to peel. Plastic degrades, causing figures to develop a sticky, oily sheen. Foam in Kenner Star Wars playsets gradually turns to dust, slowly rendering the task of assembling […]
High-end Pokémon card auctions tend to place PSA slabs front and center. The company remains the dominant force in the graded-card market, and the majority of headline-grabbing sales seem to involve that familiar red-and-white PSA 10 label. This particular auction told a different story. Seven rare cards from the Pokémon TCG recently combined to sell […]
