About Trading Cards
A trading card is basically a small card that is usually made of cardboard or thick paper and contains a picture of a specific person, place, or thing and a brief description of the picture as well as other text. There are a variety of different types of cards. Modern cards also contain swatches of the game-worn memorabilia, autographs, and even DNA hair samples from their subjects. Trading cards are traditionally associated with sports. Baseball cards are particularly well known. Cards that deal with various other topics like Pokémon are very often viewed as a separate category from sports cards known as non-sports trading cards. These often include cartoons, comic characters, television series, and film stills. Trading cards are the ancestors of trading cards. Some of the earliest prices for different kinds of retail products were cigarette cards - which were trading cards for the products that were placed in paper packs of cigarettes so as to protect the contents. The development of the Internet has now led to various online communities through which members can exchange trading cards with one another. Cards are often bought and sold through eBay and other online retail sources. Many websites request their own "Sell to Us" page in hopes of capturing more buying opportunities.
