A trading card (or collectible card) is a small card, usually made out of paperboard or thick paper, which usually contains an image of a certain person (fictional or real) and a short description of the picture, along with other text (statistics, attacks, or trivia). There is wide variation among different types of cards as to the configuration of objects, the content on the card, and even the material used to make the card. Trading cards are traditionally associated with sports; baseball cards are especially well-known. Cards dealing with other subjects are often considered a separate category from sports cards, known as non-sports trading cards. These often feature cartoons, comic book characters, television series, or movie stills. As with playing cards, which they generally resemble, trading cards are often used to play various games. In the 1990s, cards designed specifically for playing games became popular enough to develop into a distinct category of collectible card games. These tend to use either fantasy subjects or sports as the basis for gameplay. From Wikipedia under the

Q. After not collecting trading cards for almost 25 years, I started to consider collecting NHL trading cards again. I figured at most there would be 2 or 3 companies producing NHL cards, considering the lack of popularity of the NHL. To my surprise, there are over a dozen. How do you choose which cards to start collecting? I just like the basic NHL trading card with the usual statistics on the back. Where I can collect them year after year, same series. Topps, Fleer, Upper Deck, ETC, ETC??? Which one to choose, and which series will be around in 10 years. Thanks in advance. Asked by Bo - Mon Apr 16 00:49:38 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you are looking to make a living or any money at all upper deck cards are the way to go. upper deck is the only company that actually hires photographers and they have some sort of license granting them rights to be the official rookie card manufacturers which is their young guns series.
