Coom & Currie Sports cards

Episode 53 of Coom & Currie Sports Cards is here!
The lads are back with all the usual segments, including Codswollop and Mail Day, alongside plenty of laughs, banter, and hobby chat.

Coom somehow manages to work a classic Meat Loaf lyric into the conversation, while the boys take a look at the brand-new Cosmic Football release. Coom also brings along a Cosmic banger from his collection to show off.

MC has been busy adding to the PC, landing not one but TWO incredible 1-of-1 cards, and the guys break down the latest additions and what they mean for the collection.

Away from the hobby, there’s plenty of football talk as the team reviews the latest FIFA Club World Cup action, discusses England’s recent performances, and debates whether Trent Alexander-Arnold deserves a place in the squad.

As always, expect sports cards, football chat, questionable takes, and plenty of Codswollop along the way.

Order in the court! 🚨⚖️

This week sees the highly anticipated debut of “Coom & Currie’s Court Room”, where hobby justice is finally served… whether anyone asked for it or not.

BC takes us behind the scenes from the 5th Edition New Zealand Card Collectors Show in Porirua, Wellington, where he was set up as a vendor alongside the legends from Kiwi Card Collective, Nash’s Ripping Packs, and Hits & Rips.

We chat cards, collectors, show highlights, and everything that made the weekend a cracker.

Plus, we somehow end up reliving England’s World Cup victory over Croatia and MC’s completely reasonable, not-at-all embarrassing shirt-off celebration at The Fiddlers Elbow in Brighton. Expect scenes.

Throw in plenty of hobby chat, questionable takes, cardboard addiction, laughs, and the usual Coom & Currie chaos, and you’ve got another episode you won’t want to miss.
