This week, we’re joined by Upper Deck VP of Product Development Grant Sandground, who breaks down how Batman is soaring into the SkyBox Metal Universe. From precious metal gems to glow-in-the-dark Riddler cards and autographs from comic legends like Paul Dini and Gail Simone, Sandground gives us an insider look at how Upper Deck is reshaping DC’s trading card future, and what’s coming next for collectors.
Plus, we share our favorite comics of the week, favorite moments, and more from across the world of comics!
