Coom & Currie Sports Cards

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.

Two Tag Team Champions. One county. Absolutely no chance of a peaceful podcast.
BC & MC are back for Episode 66, and for only the second time in the entire history of CCSC, the boys are in the same county. Naturally, within minutes they’re arguing over who gets to be BA Baracus.
“I ain’t getting on no plane!”
“Shut up, fool!”
We kick things off with a BIG UK mail day from BC, before looking ahead to a massive month for CCSC. Worthing Card Show, Kent Card Show and Berlin Card Show are all on the calendar, and the boys have even been invited along as content creators at the Kent Card Show. Not bad for two blokes who are still figuring out what they’re doing.
BC then gets serious. Sort of. He talks through five mistakes he’s made in the hobby, what he’s learned along the way and, hopefully, how his mistakes might stop someone else making the same ones. Because at the end of the day, we want to see the hobby grow.
MC adds yet another autograph to his Liverpool 2005 Champions League winking squad. But who has joined the collection this time?
Plus Topps Flagship updates, hobby chat, plenty of laughs, Codswollop, mail days, more love for Resurgence and the continuing miracle that BC has managed to resist buying into any breaks.
Basically, Episode 66 has got everything.
Follow the boys for the sports cards, stay for the arguments.

EPISODE 65 — BC HAS BEEN LEFT UNSUPERVISED.
MC has abandoned the ship, so BC is flying solo and, frankly, nobody knows how this is going to end.

BC is officially on his way to the BERLIN CARD SHOW, with plenty of chaos, cardboard and questionable decisions on the horizon. And the best news? There are LOTS of Quality episodes coming your way, featuring BC AND MC together… in the SAME COUNTRY.
Yes. You read that correctly.

Two hosts. One country. Potentially zero professionalism.
BC also announces that Card Geezer is being FORCED onto the podcast. The time has come. There will be no escape. The negotiations are over. The contract is imaginary, but the threat is very real.

We also get stuck into NFL Week One:
The Seahawks grind out a win.
The Packers suffer defeat at the Vikings.
The Giants win.
The Jets win.
Yes… you read that correctly too.
And then things get weird.
No Codswollop.
No Mail Day.
Nothing.

Have we run out of cards? Has MC taken the Mail Day hostage? Has Codswollop finally been cancelled by the authorities?
Nobody knows.

What we do know is that BC is heading to Berlin, the boys will soon be reunited, Card Geezer is being dragged into the podcast whether he likes it or not, and there is A LOT of sports card content coming your way.
Strap yourselves in.

Episode 65 is live.

EPISODE 64: THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

BC and MC are back in the studio, which means the podcast has once again become legally questionable.

The boys are reunited, BC is ranting again, and the NFL is back. The Seahawks scraped a win on opening day, proving that victory does not always need to be comfortable, convincing, or remotely good for your blood pressure.

We dive into vintage cards and ask the question nobody seems brave enough to answer: can we get some proper EPL vintage cards? Football history, cardboard nostalgia, and probably several opinions nobody requested.

Then comes the bad news. Fanatics on Regent Street has been broken into. How does this keep happening? What can be done to stop it? And is this becoming one of the biggest problems facing the hobby?

MC also falls completely and hopelessly in love with Resurgence after pulling a massive yellow Ray Wave numbered to just 50. Bosh. Romance is alive, and apparently it is refractor-shaped.

We are joined (Sort of) by former All Black Scott Waldrom, who explains the biggest difference between stepping up from grassroots sport to the professional game, all while ripping packs. Because apparently that is now considered a normal interview format.

BC reveals that he is, in fact, Derek, and opens up about how difficult things have been following the termination of his contract at his former club. It hurts. It is honest. It is emotional. It is also somehow surrounded by trading cards and nonsense.

Plus, there is Codswollop, Mail Day, plenty of laughs, another Forest Gump quote, and the usual level of chaos that has somehow kept this podcast alive for 64 episodes.

EP63: One Man, No Coom

The Tag Team Champions have been reduced to one.
With BC off refereeing a football tournament somewhere in New Zealand — and, importantly, his leave was fully approved — MC is left to steady the ship, man the controls and somehow keep the podcast from completely falling apart.

It’s a solo deep dive into all things sports cards, including the latest instalment of Codswollop, a chunky Mailday, some serious eBay chat and a trip down memory lane with some Liverpool memories.

No BC. No excuses. No adult supervision.
Just MC, a microphone and the terrifying realisation that he can’t blame anyone else when it all goes wrong.
