In Episode 3 of Coffee & Cardboard, Tom & Ryan dive deep into the world of cardboard as the excitement builds toward the FIFA World Cup. We break down the sets worth keeping an eye on in the coming months from emerging releases gaining early hype to iconic sets that always heat up around major tournaments.   But it’s not all about what’s new. We also take a nostalgic turn and chat through our favorite sets of all time, the ones that shaped our collecting journeys.

Episode 2 is here, and Tom & Ryan are talking about their first time… at a card show. Yes, it’s exactly as awkward, exciting, and confusing as it sounds. From walking in like two lost puppies to pretending we totally knew what we were doing, we break down every moment of our debut in the wild world of card shows.

Episode 1 kicks things off with the story behind Coffee & Cardboard. How a casual conversation between two mates turned into the idea to start a podcast about the hobby we love. We also dive into both of our collecting journeys so far and what has lead us up to this point.
