    Cardboard Cynics Episode 9 - Going Double Bonkers

    We have returned for Episode 9 of the Cardboard Cynics series, this time with Carlos on location at the Toronto Expo. There was a lot to cover in this episode, as some hobby "voices" have made some silly claims, a nice bit of data proves one of Dan's disputed claims, we are cheerful for many reasons, and much more. And you can stick around until the end when Dan quotes the Bible. Yes, that happened.‪@BecauseImCarlos‬ Links:Rob Veres on Instagram:  / dxzc39-jknj  Victor's video about Veres:   • @BurbankCards Rob Veres Sounds Off on Allo...  NEO's video about doomed LCS:   • Is This the End of Local Card Shops?  Gordy Bonker declares himself "The Voice of the Vintage Side of the Hobby":   • PSA’s First Ever Grader on His Most Memora...  Gordy Bonker with Jeremy Lee:   • Sports Card Live’s Jeremy Lee on the Bigge...  The $500 Card Holder:https://m1ntaverse.com/products/the-m...Mentions:‪@Sanderson2Orr‬ ‪@bobbyburrellvhc‬ ‪@RipFan8‬ ‪@Canadian_Cards‬ ‪@90sauctions‬ ‪@true_rcs‬ ‪@NEO_Cards_Comics‬ ‪@MrJmangini‬ ‪@vintageoddballcards6103‬ ‪@professorsportscards‬ ‪@SportsCardsNonsense‬ ‪@bobblesandballcards‬
