On this episode, that debuted on television in January of 2025, Matt Strahm visits a card show for the first time in Card Life history!
Matt signs, takes photos and trades some recent hits from the show, slabbed by CGC, with fans at The Philly Show. You won't believe what one fan rolled through the convention center to have Strahmy sign!
Matt also rips some Arena Club Slab packs and opens a bunch of boxes at The Philly Show.
We also take a trip to Yardley, PA and talk to Tom Giglio about his time as Director of promotions at Fleer. Giglio started with the company in 1987 and headed promotions there through the 90's.
Former MLB closer Brad Lidge joins us on My Cardboard Timeline and explains how baseball cards helped him stay connected to the game when he had several injuries early in his pro career.
