Crosstown Cardboard

11
Hobbies #80

Craig and Carmine grew up on opposites sides, crosstown, of New York City and met through making a deal on some cardboard. These two former D3 athletes share sports card stories from the perspective of a high school teacher and sports broadcaster. Those stories involve the cards themselves, what they mean to all of us and the connections they allow us to make.

    Love the pod, great combination of collectors/friends and philosophies. They do a good job of speaking towards the mentality of a collector and their journey’s in the hobby. Much more thoughtful than a lot of content out there.

    A Nostalgic Cardboard Connection!
    Craig and Carmine are two dope human beings, and the way they explore the hobby on multiple levels is fascinating, thought-provoking, and simply educational. With every episode I listen to, I walk away feeling grateful that Craig and Carmine created another avenue for me to explore the hobby and consume a new form of hobby content.
