Coom & Currie Sports cards
Podcast Description
Remember that rush of excitement when you found a special card in a pack as a kid? That nostalgic thrill has evolved into something much more powerful for today's collectors. What begins as an innocuous purchase—a Tyler Lockett card from Pike Market in Seattle—quickly transforms into a full-fledged obsession that consumes both time and finances. Our hosts share their remarkably similar journeys into the trading card world, despite focusing on different sports: one drawn to NFL cards, the other to football/soccer.We candidly explore the psychological elements that make card collecting so addictive. From the adrenaline rush of opening packs to the thrill of scoring a rare find online, both hosts acknowledge their struggles with "throttling back" their spending while maintaining their passion for the hobby.Join us on Instagram & TikTok to see our latest pulls, acquisitions and subscribe to our monthly playlists featuring music from our social media posts.Socials: Insta: https://www.instagram.com/ccsportscards11?igsh=YjMxenpvNGZkODlx&utm_source=qrYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcZp6dP13Vs-vF1e0cwWx8gTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coomandcurriesportscards?_t=ZS-8xd9il4JiL4&_r=1Apple Music Monthly Playlist: https://music.apple.com/nz/playlist/coom-currie-sports-cards-july/pl.u-j1epf1aBBrSpotify Monthly Playlist:

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.
