Beckett Bought Out?! Labubu Gamble, WWE BAPE Shock & the Pokémon Collab Truth + One Piece for New Collectors

This week on Hobby Nonsense , Jesse and Ray kick things off with breaking hobby news as PSAs’ parent company acquires Beckett Grading Services . After receiving a few details from PSA President Ryan Hoge , they share insight into why they’re making this move and what it could mean for grading going forward. From there, they dive into new product releases and reviews , starting with Topps Labubu and WWE BAPE . BAPE quickly proves to be a surprise hit — and pulling one of the biggest 1/1 autographs from the very first box certainly doesn’t hurt! Labubu may be more niche, but its premium packaging and massive fan base could make it a sleeper long-term hold. Next, Jesse and Ray finally put the rumors to rest and give a definitive answer on whether a Topps x Pokémon collaboration is actually happening . They’re then joined by Jerry Ellis of ELZ Cardz to break down the One Piece TCG — including the most chased characters, hottest sets, and whether there’s still room for new investors given soaring prices and demand. Later, they discuss early reactions to Star Wars Galaxy , share an update on how and where Hobby Nonsense will be breaking , and highlight record-breaking sales in both the Batman and Pokémon markets. The episode closes with the introduction of the Poppy Awards — Hobby Nonsense’s new end-of-year awards celebrating the best of the best in non-sport cards .
