Hello, cardboard lovers. In this episode, made possible by DudeBriefs, Pat and Dave wonder what time it is on the SGC Doomsday Clock, think about the evolution of collectors, and more.Find Pat on IG @insta_account_haverFind Dave @Iowa_Dave_Sportscards

Jason @contrarian_cards impulsively started a new PC. Dave @Iowa_Dave_Sportscards impulsively bought a rookie before that rookie had even reached the seventh inning of his first game. No apologies. No regrets. Sometimes, you've got to lean into the impulse.

In 1990, a cable access station in Northern New Jersey aired "Cardboard Dreams," a documentary about the booming baseball card hobby. Come for the bad hair, stick around for a documentary that was eerily prescient about where the hobby was headed. The guys are joined by Jeff May (Jeff Has Cool Cards on YT) .

Listener Dan (@danscardaccount / @brewerbakerpodcast) asks us about our favorite inserts. From there, we get into Dick the Bruiser, an incredible vintage card, and what happens when content makers make content about the content makers. The Cardcast is hosted by Pat (@Insta_Account_Haver) and Dave (@Iowa_Dave_Sportscards).Note: Apologies in advance for Dave's less than 100 percent sound quality.
