#167: The Topps/Disney Deal - Part 1

The Rebel Base Card Podcast

On September 12th Topps announced a new partnership with Disney to create physical cards for Disney, Pixar and Marvel globally starting in 2025. Currently Upper Deck has had some of those rights in the U.S.

Starting with Topps Finest X-Men ’97 in Q1 2025, it will be a new era for Marvel cards, as well as a larger number of IP’s under the Fanatics roof. Although the impact for Star Wars card collectors may not be seen, a lot of this change affects the hobby around us.

To help analyze the changes I invited Ian Taylor of the Marvel Card Collectors Podcast, Stephanie Garcia of Mamabreaks and sketch artist Michael Munshaw on for part one of a two part special on this new card landscape.
