The Cardboard Historian

Every card has a past. The Cardboard Historian tells the true stories behind trading card games: the people, the gambles, the printing mistakes, and the cards that changed everything. We start where it all began, with Magic: The Gathering, from a mathematician's prototype in the early '90s to the game that launched an entire industry. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. Every fact is researched and sourced, with sources listed in each video's description. No price hype and no investment advice. Just the history. A note on how this channel is made: narration and visuals are produced with AI tools. The research and the history are real.
