We also cover the huge Pokémon TCG Pocket announcement—the new "Dual Fusion" set introducing dual-type Pokémon to the mobile game!

In wild news: Millions of dollars worth of graded Pokémon cards were stolen from a PSA FedEx shipment! We discuss what happened, the implications for the card market, and how collectors are affected.

Next, we break down the newly announced February expansion set, "Flowing Fists," featuring Mega Lucario Z ex! We throwback to the XY Era’s Furious Fists to look at historic set values, top chase cards, and expectations for the new set.
