    Sweepstake Pete. England are out & MC has been Scammed! BC picks up an on-card auto

    Coom & Currie Sports Cards Podcast – Episode 55! This week, MC has been well and truly done. He’s picked up a dodgy World Cup hardback sticker album off eBay… and if the word “Collection” being spelt wrong wasn’t enough of a red flag, we’re not sure what is. An elite bit of online shopping from MC. We also reveal the story behind the legend that is “Sweepstake Pete” and how recycling an ancient set of Grand National horses earned him one of the great nicknames. Meanwhile, BC has been getting amongst a Topps Chrome break, picking up a beautiful on-card auto and a very tidy numbered Sam Darnold colour match for the collection. All the usual nonsense returns with Mail Day and Codswollop, plus MC launches a brand-new segment: “News of the World.” What could possibly go wrong? We also want to hear from YOU. What do you love about the show? What should we do more of? What should we bin immediately? Get in touch and give us your feedback. As always, a massive thank you to everyone who listens, watches, comments and supports the show. You’re absolute legends. Episode 55. Get it in your ears.

    If Netflix did CCSC. Night Market HITS! & MC adds to the rainbow..

    Coom & Currie Sports Cards – Episode 54 Did BC really leave MC off an episode… or is it all just clever editing? We kick off Episode 54 with our very own Netflix-style documentary intro as MC investigates the biggest conspiracy in sports card podcast history. We look back at the second Top Play Sports Cards Night Market, where the hobby community turned out in force. There were huge trades, plenty of laughs, great conversations, free pizza (thanks, Shane), and to top it all off, collectors pulled TWO case hits from sealed product on the night. It was another brilliant evening that showed exactly what makes this hobby so special. We also dive into the latest World Cup Prizm release, discuss some of our favourite cards from the checklist, and chat about where football cards continue to head. As always, the regular favourites return: * Mail Day * That’s Codswollop * Coom & Currie Court Room, where justice is once again served… whether anyone asked for it or not. We also take some time to talk about the more serious side of the hobby, discussing sustainability, buying habits, and the fine line between collecting and addiction. Somehow, Coom’s Supergirl Funko Pop also steals a bit of the spotlight, because apparently that’s normal now. A fun episode packed with hobby chat, questionable opinions, plenty of laughs, and the usual banter between BC and MC. Thanks for listening, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, leave a review, and tell a fellow collector about the podcast.
