Frost in one mic, summer in the other—and a Seahawks high that won’t quit. We kick off with the NFC clincher over the 49ers, reliving the key swings, the nervy red-zone moments, and the interception that slammed the door. The buzz spills into a confession: for the first time, NFL has edged out soccer in our weekly obsession, even for a dyed-in-the-wool Liverpool fan. From there, we throw open the hobby cabinet.

From NFC Glory To Hobby Stories: Seahawks, Liverpool Nostalgia, And Building A Sports Card Community

Eight Pints, No Goals, But Plenty Of Shiny Cardboard

A dull ninety minutes at Brighton, eight pints deep, and still the best part was being with the boys. Then Thursday flipped the script: Seattle’s wild swing from early promise to overtime guts, a live two‑point decision, and that jittery 5:30 a.m. buzz when sleep doesn’t stand a chance. That’s the heart of this one—why we keep showing up, even when the match is forgettable, because every now and then sport knocks the breath out of you. From there we pick apart Liverpool’s win at Spurs and th...

Wi-Fi 0, Autographs 2, Beer Count Unknown

The plan was simple: record at the Fanatics store, grab some Liverpool team sets, and ride the buzz. Reality threw us bad Wi‑Fi, silent mics, and a storage meltdown—so we pivoted, ripped anyway, and hit the kind of pulls that make a hobby day unforgettable. Vladimir Smicer out of 250, a surprise second auto, and enough numbered colour to keep any Liverpool fan grinning. We carried the momentum to a North London shop, joked about one‑of‑one “on‑card autos” of ourselves, and then ducked into a ...

Mile-High Box Break: Two Friends Reunite, Trade Lessons From A Year In The Hobby, And Plan A Live Store Rip

A motion‑tracking iPad, a misplaced WWE belt, and a mile‑high Mosaic rip set the tone for a UK homecoming that changes how we collect. With postage slashed and eBay at our fingertips, we talk about the sheer joy of next‑day mail, the bargains that surface before the holidays, and the art of making fair offers that actually land. Along the way we pull a Jalen Milroe Origins RPA, debate what makes a “true RPA,” and share why a clean design and player connection often matter more than technical ...

From ACL Rehab To Seaside Sports: Building A PC Without Breaking The Bank

A hobby can start with a small spark and turn into a full-on adventure. We sit down with Andy from Seaside Sports to trace his path from ACL rehab and school-day stickers to a dialled-in PC of Brighton autos and Lakers cards, fuelled by smart eBay flips and the thrill of opening fresh hobby boxes. What begins as a way to pass time becomes a playbook for collecting with intention—keeping the cards you love, moving the rest, and letting the hobby fund itself. The heart of the story beats at th...

With one Vendor on the missing list, how's your luck Dom Lott takes over..

A missing co-host, a guest in the hot seat, and a kitchen studio set the tone for a candid ride through football form and the modern sports card grind. We kick off with West Ham’s burst of goals, Liverpool’s off-day after Europe, and that familiar knot in the stomach when VAR makes the game harder to love. It’s the same knot a lot of collectors feel during breaks: the thrill of possibility fighting the fear you’re playing the wrong odds. From there we get practical. Dom walks us through tigh...

From Petrol Mishap To Earthquake Thrill: Coaching, Collecting, And Comebacks

The night shed. Bonfire crackle. A milestone that actually means something. We kick off with pure chaos energy—improvised lighting, a landmark episode number—and then swerve into a coach’s reality: a brilliant young keeper sidelined, rules blocking a replacement, and a long drive home capped by the most expensive mistake a tired mind can make. Four hours, a drained tank, and a team of teenagers who now have a story for life. Chaperoning turns into quake-watching as a short, sharp New Zealand ...

Inside A Binder: Hits, Misses, And Hobby Plans. MC goes solo..

Cardboard tells stories, and today I’m telling mine. I crack open the binder, walk through a growing Topps Premier League set, and face the collector’s dilemma head-on: keep ripping for that elusive autograph or switch gears to trades, breaks, and strategic singles. Along the way, I unpack real pull odds for Chrome Kings, gold line, Premier Pulls, and those ultra-short print rookie diamonds, then map a plan that balances budget, patience, and the thrill of the chase. We head into show season...

Five Cards For $700? Mr. AP, it's not that type of Podcast...

A Match Attax tin shouldn’t outshine premium boxes, right? That expectation gets flipped when a replica Champions League medal relic of Marquinhos lands in hand and looks, well, brilliant. We unpack why an entry-level product can feel more satisfying than a $700 five-card box, how design choices shape perceived value, and where the real fun lives when you’re collecting on a budget. We start with the small but telling stuff—“shinies” versus “inserts,” the return of 100 Club, and the clever At...

Hype, history, and the hard truth about rookie cards in the Premier League

A shed, a power bank, and a dongle doing lengths in a coffee cup—chaos sets the tone, but the real story is how that same messy energy mirrors the hobby right now. We swap teenage Rome tales of moody shirts and pizza arbitrage for a sharp look at licensing, error cards, and why a Premier League “rookie” feels more like a futures bet than a finished article. If you’ve ever wondered whether comps tell the whole truth or if your PC should be ruled by feel, this one’s for you. We unpack Match At...

From duck races to dodgy cards: a transcontinental break, fake pulls from market stalls, and our love affair with Origins

A duck race, a snake draft, and a WhatsApp camera keeping us honest—this is how a four-person Origins break stretched from Bulgaria to New Zealand and reminded us why collecting feels best with friends. After a short hiatus and a pricey airport Big Mac, we dive straight into ritual and randomness: picking teams with our hearts, watching the boxes tell their own story, and landing a Jordan Love Gridiron that slots perfectly into the PC while a “safe” first pick whiffs. It’s the rush you can’t ...
