  • Scrooge Comic Cuts / Cut Relics: Embeds authentic panels from comics (1/1). Checklist Insider

  • Hobby variant: “Black Shimmer Foil /10” parallel for Hobby format. Checklist Insider

✅ What collectors are most excited about

  • First edition, premium grade: Because this is the debut of Mint Disney, many see “first” status as inherently desirable. The metal/foil finish and exclusivity help that.

  • Championship characters/actors: Having names like Tom Hanks or Melissa McCarthy means beyond just card-visual appeal to fans of the actors. These autos cross the entertainment & hobby world.

  • Low-serial parallels & 1/1s: The shift from standard mass-market cards to numbered parallels and 1/1s raises the “collectible/display piece” factor, not just a “rip and sort” mentality.

  • Creative inserts (playing deck, sketch cards, comic cuts): These aren’t just “another parallel”; they’re built to be display pieces, collectible items in their own right. This raises the allure for non-traditional card collectors (Disney fans, art collectors, etc.).

  • Event/Variant exclusives: The NYCC exclusives and hobby-variant parallels create tiers of scarcity and encourage early purchase, which drives hype.

  • Visual/design upgrade: The foil stock, thick card stock, and metallic/“mint coin” aesthetic (per Topps) give the set a premium feel, which appeals to display-collectors rather than just “plays my deck” type.
