    Chiefs fans, It's So Bad it Hurts!

    Big Hurts aka Diamondback Lee is back in the building to talk us through the Superbowl and how he's feeling fragile for two reasons (being a Chiefs fan as well as being sleep deprived). FYI, the three of us are sleep deprived so please refrain from commenting on the bags under our eyes! We break down player performances and what it means for the card market, as well as how the last solds look for quarterback rookie cards. Card show season for 2025 has officially kick-started with the London Card Show having taken place over the past week. Lee goes through his highlights of the weekend.

    The Late Late Card Show with Ben & Leigh

    Your hosts are back for the last episode of the year where Leigh gives us an update on how things are going with the new location for Triple C as well as Ben having a darts player sliding into his DM's after pulling a 1/1. They both also give their rookie picks for hockey, basketball, baseball and soccer for 2025. Will their "hot" takes be successful or fail miserably like when many invested money into Mason Greenwood's rookie cards? Merry Christmas to all of our listeners!

    It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

We reflect on what has been a successful 2024 discussing what we've learnt, what our highlights are and our views on if there are any concerns for the growth of the Hobby in the UK. We end the episode with a Christmas/Sports card themed quiz. It's fair to say our guests had a nightmare and Ben needs to go away to learn how time-zones work.
