    Piero is BACK! A surprise Grail, A Surprise Guest & lots of Codswollop!

    A surprise grail, a surprise guest, a surprise celebrity moment… and somehow it’s still only Episode 67. BC & MC are back, and this one has a bit of everything. We kick things off with a little football chat as the boys discuss Man City’s recent guilty verdict before getting stuck into the important stuff… MAIL DAYS. BC adds even more Resurgence cards to the collection, while MC finally gets his hands on a Steven Gerrard game-used LA Galaxy card. But then, completely unexpectedly, MC drops a surprise grail on BC LIVE in the studio. And the grail? A Phil Babb auto. Incredible scenes. Dreams really do come true. Coom then launches into a full-scale rant about the extended international break. Is it football? Is it hobby-related? Does it matter? Absolutely not. It’s Codswollop and BC has had enough. Then, in true CCSC fashion, we’re joined by Piero from Swopsies. It’s an impromptu, late-notice appearance, but Piero steps up and fills us in on how things have been going at Swopsies. Could another integration be on the horizon? We also dive into the wonderfully strange world of PC chases. The cards we’re hunting, the players we probably shouldn’t be hunting, and the completely irrational reasons we decide we NEED a particular card. And speaking of Piero… he has his very own celebrity moment after getting recognised at Hobby Con in Auckland. Yes. Piero. Recognised. In public. The boys also announce that they’re heading to the Kent Card Show this Saturday as official creators, so expect plenty of CCSC nonsense from the show floor. Mail days. Grails. Football. PC chases. Swopsies. Phil Babb. Celebrity Piero. And an unhealthy amount of Codswollop. Episode 67 is ready. Follow the boys for the sports cards.

    'I ain't getting on no plane!' The Champs are back! Mail day is HUGE

    Two Tag Team Champions. One county. Absolutely no chance of a peaceful podcast. BC & MC are back for Episode 66, and for only the second time in the entire history of CCSC, the boys are in the same county. Naturally, within minutes they’re arguing over who gets to be BA Baracus. “I ain’t getting on no plane!” “Shut up, fool!” We kick things off with a BIG UK mail day from BC, before looking ahead to a massive month for CCSC. Worthing Card Show, Kent Card Show and Berlin Card Show are all on the calendar, and the boys have even been invited along as content creators at the Kent Card Show. Not bad for two blokes who are still figuring out what they’re doing. BC then gets serious. Sort of. He talks through five mistakes he’s made in the hobby, what he’s learned along the way and, hopefully, how his mistakes might stop someone else making the same ones. Because at the end of the day, we want to see the hobby grow. MC adds yet another autograph to his Liverpool 2005 Champions League winking squad. But who has joined the collection this time? Plus Topps Flagship updates, hobby chat, plenty of laughs, Codswollop, mail days, more love for Resurgence and the continuing miracle that BC has managed to resist buying into any breaks. Basically, Episode 66 has got everything. Follow the boys for the sports cards, stay for the arguments. #sportscards #tradingcards #podcast Takeaways Collecting MistakesCard Show Announcement Card shows and eventsHobby community and engagement NFL match analysisPremier League update Chapters 00:00 Episode 66: The A Team Reunion02:03 Mail Day and Collecting Mistakes13:03 Learning from Collecting Mistakes23:11 Card Show Announcement28:03 Upcoming Card Shows and Events29:30 KCC Update and Hobby Community Engagement46:23 Flagship Updates and Hobby Engagement56:24 NFL Match Analysis01:09:06 Premier League Update

    BC has been left unsupervised & is on the way to the Berlin Card Show!

    EPISODE 65 — BC HAS BEEN LEFT UNSUPERVISED. MC has abandoned the ship, so BC is flying solo and, frankly, nobody knows how this is going to end. BC is officially on his way to the BERLIN CARD SHOW, with plenty of chaos, cardboard and questionable decisions on the horizon. And the best news? There are LOTS of Quality episodes coming your way, featuring BC AND MC together… in the SAME COUNTRY. Yes. You read that correctly. Two hosts. One country. Potentially zero professionalism. BC also announces that Card Geezer is being FORCED onto the podcast. The time has come. There will be no escape. The negotiations are over. The contract is imaginary, but the threat is very real. We also get stuck into NFL Week One: The Seahawks grind out a win. The Packers suffer defeat at the Vikings. The Giants win. The Jets win. Yes… you read that correctly too. And then things get weird. No Codswollop. No Mail Day. Nothing. Have we run out of cards? Has MC taken the Mail Day hostage? Has Codswollop finally been cancelled by the authorities? Nobody knows. What we do know is that BC is heading to Berlin, the boys will soon be reunited, Card Geezer is being dragged into the podcast whether he likes it or not, and there is A LOT of sports card content coming your way. Strap yourselves in. Episode 65 is live.

    NFL is BACK! BC Gets emotional & MC has fallen in LOVE.. The boys are back in Town!

    EPISODE 64: THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN BC and MC are back in the studio, which means the podcast has once again become legally questionable. The boys are reunited, BC is ranting again, and the NFL is back. The Seahawks scraped a win on opening day, proving that victory does not always need to be comfortable, convincing, or remotely good for your blood pressure. We dive into vintage cards and ask the question nobody seems brave enough to answer: can we get some proper EPL vintage cards? Football history, cardboard nostalgia, and probably several opinions nobody requested. Then comes the bad news. Fanatics on Regent Street has been broken into. How does this keep happening? What can be done to stop it? And is this becoming one of the biggest problems facing the hobby? MC also falls completely and hopelessly in love with Resurgence after pulling a massive yellow Ray Wave numbered to just 50. Bosh. Romance is alive, and apparently it is refractor-shaped. We are joined (Sort of) by former All Black Scott Waldrom, who explains the biggest difference between stepping up from grassroots sport to the professional game, all while ripping packs. Because apparently that is now considered a normal interview format. BC reveals that he is, in fact, Derek, and opens up about how difficult things have been following the termination of his contract at his former club. It hurts. It is honest. It is emotional. It is also somehow surrounded by trading cards and nonsense. Plus, there is Codswollop, Mail Day, plenty of laughs, another Forest Gump quote, and the usual level of chaos that has somehow kept this podcast alive for 64 episodes.

    No Coom, No Problem! MC goes solo!

    EP63: One Man, No Coom The Tag Team Champions have been reduced to one. With BC off refereeing a football tournament somewhere in New Zealand — and, importantly, his leave was fully approved — MC is left to steady the ship, man the controls and somehow keep the podcast from completely falling apart. It’s a solo deep dive into all things sports cards, including the latest instalment of Codswollop, a chunky Mailday, some serious eBay chat and a trip down memory lane with some Liverpool memories. No BC. No excuses. No adult supervision. Just MC, a microphone and the terrifying realisation that he can’t blame anyone else when it all goes wrong.

    Laughs, Cards. A special guest. A promo code & the beginning of Del Piero’s podcasting career.

    EPISODE 62 IS HERE… and we’ve somehow managed to get even less professional. This week, we’re joined by a very special guest: Piero from Swopsies! Or, as he’ll forever be known on this podcast… Del Piero. Sorry Piero, you walked straight into that one. Piero joins the boys to share his sports card collecting journey, the story behind why he created Swopsies, and drops some BIG news about an exciting collaboration. You’ll have to listen to find out what it is — because we’re not giving everything away for free around here. Speaking of free-ish things, Piero has also hooked our listeners up with an exclusive promo code. Use CCPOD and get involved. Honestly, we’d use it ourselves if we were allowed. Elsewhere, BC semi-calls out PCG. Let’s be absolutely clear: BC LOVES PCG. He just also loves receiving emails back. Come on, lads. It takes two seconds. We also debut a brand-new feature, “Give Us Your Stats”, dive headfirst into plenty of Topps Flagship chat, and somehow find ourselves surrounded by rogue Forrest Gump and Frank Sinatra quotes. Standard behaviour, really. Lots of laughs. Lots of cards. A special guest. A promo code. And potentially the beginning of Del Piero’s podcasting career. What a show. As always, follow the boys for the sports cards and join us for another episode of Coom & Currie Sports Cards — where the hobby chat is strong and the professionalism is very much optional.

    Auckland Card Show, Seahawks & Packers predictions & Flagship football is here! Let that permeate.

    Just the two of us. No guests. No excuses. Just two men bravely pretending this is an “admin episode” while discussing some of the most important issues facing the hobby… and absolutely none of them will be solved. We’re predicting the Seahawks and Packers wins and losses for the season, because apparently we’re now qualified NFL analysts. Then we tackle the big question: who are the biggest football clubs in the UK? Expect absolutely no bias whatsoever. Topps Flagship Football drops this week, and BC already has his eyes on the prize: a triple auto featuring JSN, Darnold and Kupp. Sensible? Absolutely not. Will he try to get one? Obviously. There’s mail day, the return of Codswollop, and another deep dive into the never-ending question of how we actually make the sports card hobby sustainable. And the big one… THE AUCKLAND CARD SHOW. We talk about the show, the hobby, the community and where things go from here. As ever, 'follow the boys for the Sports Cards.' Coom & Currie Sports Cards. The Tag Team Champions are back in the ring.

    A former All Black & current sports card enabler joins the show & MC disappears, will he come back?

    Episode 60 is here, and we’ve landed a guest with a pretty decent rugby CV. Former Hurricane and former All Black Scott Waldrom joins us for a brilliant chat about his rugby journey, life after the game, his jersey shop, and how he ended up falling down the sports card rabbit hole. We also try to establish the only question that really matters… has Scott officially chosen Coom & Currie Sports Cards over Top Play? We’ll let you be the judge. Elsewhere in the episode: * Codswollop makes its usual appearance. * Mail Day delivers an unexpected Paul Ifill Wellington Phoenix card for BC. * MC’s technology does its best to cancel the podcast, but this train isn’t stopping anytime soon. * BC is gearing up for the Auckland Card Show, with plenty of content on the way. * MC shares his thoughts on the new Topps EPL Flagship release. A great guest, plenty of laughs, the usual chaos, and somehow we still stay on topic… occasionally. Get it in your ears. Takeaways The card community is diverse and supportive, contributing to the growth of the hobby.The challenges in the card market, including the absence of rugby cards, present opportunities for improvement and expansion. Card collection and memorabilia are a significant part of the conversation, showcasing the host's passion for the hobby.The discussion highlights the importance of community initiatives and the impact of the podcast on the audience.The performance of the podcast is reflected upon, with insights into the show's growth and future plans for upcoming guests and playlists.
