We welcome the first guest to the show, Daylin Willis, a movie actor for the Hallmark Channel. Daylin casually collects comic books, vinyl records, and fancy lighters but has not delved much into the world of trading cards. We put Daylin to the test to see if he could figure out the meaning of some of our unique hobby terminology for entertainment and to uncover how we can more effectively communicate with newcomers to the sports card and TCG hobby.

Today we have Paul Hickey from the Sports Card Strategy Show and nooffseason.com to hash out: Is it important to understand “why” each of us collects cards? Why do base cards exist, why are there so many cards in the hobby? Can a minimalist mindset explain the difference between collectors and investors? Could Scottie Scheffler have personal reasons for not wanting sports cards of himself in the world? What is the future for the Sports Illustrated brand and will SIFK cards die out? Are collectors better at flipping than sports card investors?

The episode opens with a brief update on the world of golf, covering recent tournaments and noteworthy events, including Tiger Woods caddying for Charlie. The main segment unfolds as Mike discusses his four predictions for the future of golf cards. From potential developments in card manufacturing to shifts in the market and collecting trends, listeners can expect a thought-provoking exploration of the hobby. In the "Card of the Week Spotlight," Mike showcases a noteworthy card without revealing specific details. The spotlight not only features the card's significance but also delves into the broader context of its importance in the golf world, adding a touch of history and personal connection to the hobby. The "Collector’s Corner" segment takes center stage as Mike shares his recent venture into hockey cards, drawing inspiration from advice provided by Stacking Slabs. This section provides a glimpse into Mike's diverse collecting interests and offers listeners valuable insights into exploring new collecting lanes. A callback to a vintage golf card lesson ties the episode together, teasing next week's installment featuring John Morton, a pre-war vintage expert, and the story of a true 1/1 grail card from over 100 years ago.

In this episode of Fondling Cardboard, Mike continues to explore the question - ‘why do we collect trading cards?’ As the 2023 Ryder Cup looms on the horizon, Mike provides an exclusive preview of the USA and Europe teams and examines which golfers have sports cards and which ones are missing. Mike also takes you back in time nearly 100 years to compare sports illustrated for kids cards with the vintage cards of yesteryear. And when DeChambeau is unexpectedly excluded from the captain's picks, we look back at one of Mike's most cherished Bryson cards, sparking a contemplation of the cerebral aspects of golf and collecting.
