Pixar Gold First Look, Coin Collecting Truths w/ Jeff Starck & Phantasmal Flames Pull Rates

This week on Hobby Nonsense, Jesse and Ray (after discovering Ray might have trypophobia) dive into a packed show covering Pixar, coins, and Pokémon. First, Jesse and Ray break down Pixar Gold, the newest Topps release celebrating iconic moments from the Pixar universe. With actor autos and “Golden Moments” chases, the product looks gorgeous — but will collectors buy in if the price is too premium? Then they’re joined by Jeff Starck, market analyst for NumisMaster and host of the Coin Collecting Podcast, to uncover the real truth about coin collecting. Jeff explains why coin collectors can lose money even with “valuable” items, how emotional attachment clouds judgment, how market swings affect values, and why networking and research matter more in coins than almost any other collectible. After the interview, Jesse and Ray talk Pokémon Phantasmal Flames, why it might be the set that finally fixes the supply issue without tanking values, and the surprising pull rates of its biggest hits. They wrap with a wild record sale of a Topps Tekno Mewtwo, proving one of Ray’s recent predictions was dead-on. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
