    State of the App

    Welcome to the inaugural Skuttlebutt Podcast! Hosts Jim and Dan discuss the last week of sets to come out in Topps Marvel Collect such as Pym Particles, and all of the weeklies including Inked and the new Homage set! Also discussed is the latest double surprise maintenance that had some people concerned about their accounts, the current state of coin accrual in the app, and the One Year Anniversary of Marvel Collect.

    The One Where The Maintenance Finished On Time

    In this episode, Dan and Jim discuss the most recent maintenance and how it actually was finished in time to not interrupt the most important drop of the week.  They also discuss the new awards systems in the other apps and how that system will affect Marvel going forward.  They also go over the weekly set releases as well as the new releases, and how Topps buried some new sets almost immediately by releasing a very popular box right after them.

    Give Yourself an Award, You Deserve It

    In this episode, Dan and Jim discuss the new award system that was implemented in Marvel Collect as well as the other Topps apps.  They also go over the latest sets, including the controversial Foes set that gobbles up Avenger Pets, and the Hellbound Mini-box which is far from mini.

    Limitless Impossibilities

    This week we discuss the lack of sets with a Card Count (CC) limits and how that is severely affecting the value of cards released before March of this year, as well as how cards will be valued going forward, assuming this trend doesn't stop.  Even though we really, really want it to stop.  This is in addition to discussing everything released in the last week.  Also this week we introduce a little intro music!  Enjoy!

    You are a VIP: Very Ill-Informed Person

    In this week's episode, Dan and Jim discuss the VIP system and why it works the way it does.  We also discuss the releases for the last 2 weeks, including the first Collection since the "new way" that has a diamond-only variant.

  6. EPISODE 6 ·  VIDEO

    Too Many Choices Not Enough Interest

    In this episode, Dan and Jim discuss the Morbius Showcase compared to some of the other Showcase sets we've had throughout the last year.  We also discuss how having these long sales times for each set lead to so many sets being available in the store at once that really stop selling after the first few days.  But because of that long sales time, people aren't as excited about them.  This is all in addition to reviewing the releases of the last week.

    Episode 7: Artist Spotlight: Daniel Murray

    On this 7th episode of our podcast we have a special guest with us: Daniel Murray.  Hopefully most of you will recognize that name, as Dan has created many Original Art cards in the Topps Marvel Collect app, including last week's Rocket in the Weekly Original Art set.  We talk about how Dan got involved in Topps Marvel Collect, and where he started when it came to making art for comic-related products.  It was an incredible interview and we are so thankful for Dan for coming onto the show. After the interview, we discuss the weekly releases as usual.  Mixed into that discussion is some chat on the topic of how few coins we receive in Marvel Collect as opposed to other Topps apps, and our Dan (not Murray) trading his digital Garbage Pail Kids cards for a huge Marvel haul. To celebrate our interview with Daniel Murray, we are also running a giveaway for a 12" x 18" print of his Punisher piece, which can be seen here: https://www.deviantart.com/print/view/227341170 To win, fill out the answers to these questions which can be found during our interview in the episode itself.  One of the contestants who answers every question correctly will win the print!  Here's a link to the quiz: https://forms.gle/zowJoGZ3k7e5n3jm9 To see more of Daniel Murray's work, search for "murray" in the Collection -> All Cards list in the app, or check out his website or DeviantArt pages: http://alpc.com/site/ https://www.deviantart.com/danielmurrayart

    Episode 8: It's a Botter's Market

    This week Jim and Dan discuss how Coronavirus may have affected Topps themselves, for bad or maybe, for good?  Also discussed is the fact that now that the long-term weekly sets are coming to a close, almost everything that veteran traders want will most likely be bought from the secondary market.  They also discuss on the end of Inked going out with... another Spider-Man card.  This combined with the usual review of the last week's releases makes for a pretty heavy episode.
