    Cardboard Cynics Episode 5: Requiem for a Kazoo

    As we mourn a kazoo and what might have been, it is time for another episode of Cardboard Cynics. One of us won an award, but not what you expected. Another discussion of grading? Hardly. But in the end it's all just the diamond encrusted logo patch auto card we make of our lives.‪@BecauseImCarlos‬ Death of a Kazoo Live Segment:   • Live Stream Excerpt: Death of a Kazoo #Jus...  BIC Interview with TPott:   • Talking Grading with T-Pott from Market Mo...  Hobby Hotline Interview with TPott:https://www.youtube.com/live/Zl_7mH2e...Kevin O'Leary Looking Like an Idiot:https://x.com/DEADLINE/status/2028240...Viral Card Show Dealer Encounter:  / dvmgci8ezqn  Mentions:‪@4CollectorsForCollectors‬ ‪@TheSportsCardDad‬ ‪@chrisfrommissouri‬ ‪@brad8671‬ ‪@MarketMovers‬ ‪@Misfitcollectors‬
