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:

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.
