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.
