Rubble Talks Collecting (and Aaron Judge)
To know Rubble is to love Rubble. The lovably tough five-year-old English bulldog of PAW Patrol and Rubble & Crew fame has something new to bark about: his own card in 2024 Topps Baseball Update Series alongside legendary Yankee slugger Aaron Judge.
We recently caught up with Rubble while he and his crew—Mix, Charger, Wheeler, Motor, Auntie Crance, and Grandpa Gravel—were getting ready in the Bark Yard for the next Builder Cove project. True to his catchphrase, Rubble answered our questions “on the double” about his love of collecting, baseball, and—of course—Aaron Judge.
Who’s your favorite Baseball player?
Well, it’s AAR-ON JUDGE, of course.
Do you have a favorite team?
The Yanks, The Bronx Bombers… the New York Yankees!

When did you start collecting?
I’ve been collecting forever, but now that I’ve actually met Aaron Judge, his card is even more special! We met when he stopped in Builder Cove for a visit on his way to the home run derby. But then the road was blocked, and he thought he’d miss the derby. That’s when I said, “There’s always a construction solution,” and we built him a ballpark. And guess what, Aaron did it, he hit 100 home runs and won the derby! It was so PAWesome. I even got to hang out with his pups, Penny and Gus. They’re so fun!

Which pup did you tell first when you found out about your card?
I went straight to Charger. And of course, he was so excited that he got the zoom, zoom zoomies.
Which pup should be on the next card?
Awww man, that’s a tough one. Can we have all the pups? After all, we’re one big construction family!
One big construction family!
Do you have a favorite hobby shop in Adventure Bay, Adventure City, or Builder Cove?
Too many to list, but if you’re asking about pup treat shops, I’m your pup!
