“I could talk cards for hours,” Matt Bonner says, and you should believe him.

Since his arrival in San Antonio in 2006, part of what’s made the Red Mamba a local favorite is his willingness to let fans in on his personality and off-the-court passions, whether it’s music, comedic exploits, or sandwiches. So as he riffs on the hobby he’s enjoyed since he was a kid growing up in New Hampshire, goes deep on beloved sets from 1970s, and preaches the still-extant joy that can be had even as prices for cards, there’s no doubting the sincerity of that statement.
