{{Distinguish|Trade card}}
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, place or thing (fictional or real) and a short description of the picture, along with other text (attacks, statistics, or trivia).<ref name=ccbaseball>{{cite web|title=Baseball Card History, News, and Reviews|url=http://www.cardboardconnection.com/baseball/baseball-card/|work=CardboardConnection.com|publisher=The Cardboard Connection|access-date=16 May 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120901074445/http://www.cardboardconnection.com/baseball/baseball-card/|archive-date=1 September 2012}}</ref> When traded separately, they are known as '''singles'''. There is a wide variation of different types of cards.

Trading cards are traditionally associated with [[sport]]s ([[baseball card]]s are particularly common) but can also include subjects such as ''[[Pokémon]]'' and other [[non-sports trading card]]s. These often feature [[cartoon]]s, [[comic book]] characters, [[television series]] and film stills. In the 1990s, cards designed specifically for playing games became popular enough to develop into a distinct category, [[collectible card game]]s. These games are mostly [[fantasy]]-based [[gameplay]]. [[Fantasy art cards]] are a subgenre of trading cards that focus on the [[artwork]].

==History==

=== Origins ===
{{Main|Trade card|Cigarette card}}

[[Trade card]]s are the ancestors of cigarette and food (bubble gum) cards. Some of the earliest [[Prize (marketing)|prizes]] found in retail products were [[cigarette cards]]; trade cards were designed to advertise products that were inserted into paper packs of cigarettes as stiffeners to protect the contents.<ref name=whatis>[https://www.card-world.co.uk/collect/ What is what we collect?] by Sam Whiting, 26 Oct 2014</ref> [[Allen and Ginter]] in the U.S. in 1886, and British company [[W.D. & H.O.

=== Modern trading cards ===
[[Topps|Topps Chewing Gum, Inc.]], now known as "The Topps Company, Inc.", started inserting trading cards into bubble gum packs in 1950 with such topics as TV and film cowboy [[Hopalong Cassidy]], [[Frank Buck (animal collector)|Frank Buck]] from "[[Bring 'Em Back Alive (book)|Bring 'Em Back Alive]]" on big game hunts in Africa,{{Citation needed|date=February 2025}} and All-[[American Football Card]]s.

Many of the top selling [[Non-sports trading card|non-sports cards]] were produced by Topps, including [[Wacky Packages]] (1967, 1973–1977), ''[[Star Wars canon|Star Wars]]'' (beginning in 1977)<ref>''Star Wars Super Collector's Wish Book Identification and Values'', Geoffrey T.

=== Digital trading cards ===
In an attempt to stay current with technology and digital trends, existing and new trading card companies started to create digital trading cards that lived exclusively online or as a digital counterpart of a physical card.

In 1995 Michael A. Pace produced "computer based" trading cards, utilizing a CD ROM computer system and floppy discs.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Pace |first1=Michael |title=Computer-based trading card system and method |url=https://michaelpace.com/press-archive-of-michael-pace-ema-multimedia/ |website=Michael Pace Digital |date=11 September 2015 |access-date=22 August 2021}}</ref>

In 2000, [[Topps]] launched a brand of sports cards, called [[etopps]]. These cards were sold exclusively online through individual IPO's (initial player offering) in which the card is offered for usually a week at the IPO price. That same year, [[Tokenzone]] launched a digital collectibles platform that was used by media companies to distribute content in the form of digital trading cards. The quantity sold depended on how many people offered to buy but was limited to a certain maximum. After a sale, the cards were held in a climate-controlled warehouse unless the buyer requests delivery, and the cards could be traded online without changing hands except in the virtual sense. In January 2012, Topps announced that they would be discontinuing their eTopps product line.<ref>{{cite web|title=eTopps Brand Retired|url=http://etopps.com/ipomarketplace/jan2012faq.asp|work=etopps.com|publisher=Topps|access-date=16 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207151720/http://www.etopps.com/ipomarketplace/jan2012faq.asp|archive-date=2012-02-07|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[Digital collectible card game]]s were estimated to be a $1.3B market in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|title=Digital Card Games Report|url=http://www.superdataresearch.com/market-data/digital-card-games/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207022651/http://www.superdataresearch.com/market-data/digital-card-games/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=December 7, 2013|publisher=Superdata|date=2014}}</ref> A number of tech start-ups have attempted to establish themselves in this space, notably Stampii (Spain, 2009),<ref name=digi1>[https://elpais.com/diario/2010/04/08/ciberpais/1270693473_850215.html La española Stampii lanza colecciones de cromos digitales] by Javier Martín on ''El País'', 8 Apr 2010</ref><ref name=digi2>[http://sportics.es/stampii-coleccionismo-multimedia-que-aprovecha-al-maximo-las-tic/ Stampii, coleccionismo multimedia que aprovecha al máximo las TIC] by Nacho Azcona on Sportics, 4 Apr 2012</ref> Fantom (Ireland, 2011), Deckdaq (Israel, 2011), and 2Stic (Austria, 2013).

[[Panini Group|Panini]] launched their [[Adrenalyn XL]] platform with an [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] and [[National Football League|NFL]] trading card collection. Connect2Media together with Winning Moves, created an [[iPhone]] Application to host a series of trading card collections, including Dinosaurs, James Bond - 007, Celebs, Gum Ball 3000, European Football Stars and [[NBA]]. In 2011, mytcg Technologies launched a platform for hosting digital trading card content.

On July 1, 2011, Wildcat Intellectual Property Holdings filed a lawsuit against 12 defendants, including Topps, Panini, [[Sony]], [[Electronic Arts]], [[Konami]], [[Pokémon]], [[Zynga]] and [[Nintendo]], for allegedly infringing Wildcat's "Electronic Trading Card" patent.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.priorsmart.com/wildcat-intellectual-property-holdings-v-4kids-entertainment-l4zv/#Complaintl|title=Wildcat Intellectual Property Holdings Lawsuit|access-date=14 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170216160019/http://news.priorsmart.com/wildcat-intellectual-property-holdings-v-4kids-entertainment-l4zv/#Complaintl|archive-date=2017-02-16|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2012, Topps also launched their first phone application: Topps Bunt was an app that allowed users to connect with other fans in a fantasy league type game environment wherein they could collect players, earn points from playing, and trade and compete with other fans. Three years later, the same company launched a digital experiment in Europe (geotargeted to exclude the USA) with its [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Hero Attax, using digital as an overlay to its physical product.<ref>{{cite web|title=Marvel Avengers Hero Attax Series 4|url=http://swapstick.com/swaps.nsf/Albums+By+Title/Marvel%20Avengers%20Hero%20Attax%20Series%204%202015|publisher=Swapstick|date=2014}}</ref>


=== Digital collecting trends and authentication technology ===
During the 2020s, trading cards expanded into digital formats that paired physical products with blockchain-linked records. Major manufacturers introduced authenticated digital collectibles (“NFTs”) and hybrid releases that track ownership and provenance on-chain. Topps launched officially licensed MLB NFT packs in 2021, mirroring its flagship Series 1 releases in digital form. Fanatics-backed Candy Digital became a major MLB digital-collectibles partner, reflecting broader investment in sports NFTs. Analysts noted that blockchain registries and tokenized assets were influencing how authenticity, serial-number traceability, and provenance are recorded in the hobby.

==Value==
Today, the development of the Internet has given rise to various online communities, through which members can trade collectible cards with each other. Cards are often bought and sold via [[eBay]] and other online retail sources. Many websites solicit their own "sell to us" page in hopes to draw in more purchase opportunities.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.danscardz.com/servlet/the-template/Sell/Page |title=Dan's Sports Cards & Games Sell |access-date=2011-08-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110823095108/http://www.danscardz.com/servlet/the-template/Sell/Page |archive-date=2011-08-23 }}</ref>

The value of a trading card depends on a combination of the card's condition, the subject's popularity, and the scarcity of the card. In some cases, especially with older cards that preceded the advent of card collecting as a widespread [[hobby]], they have become [[Collectible|collector's items]] of considerable value. In recent years, many sports cards have not necessarily appreciated as much in value due to overproduction, although some manufacturers have used limited editions and smaller print runs to boost value. Trading cards, however, do not have an absolute monetary value. Cards are only worth as much as a collector is willing to pay.<ref name="MLBFAQ">{{cite web |url=http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/nbbcd/pop_faq.html |title=Frequently Asked Questions |publisher=Major League Baseball |access-date=May 15, 2010}}</ref>

Valued at $44 billion today{{When|date=February 2025}}, the global sports trading card market is expected to surge to approximately $100 billion by 2027.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thomas |first=Ian |date=2023-03-30 |title=How Fanatics and MLB are planning to keep the trading card boom going |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/30/how-fanatics-mlb-capitalize-on-baseball-card-boom.html |access-date=2023-11-11 |website=CNBC |language=en}}</ref>

===Condition===
Card condition is one aspect of trading cards that determine the value of a card. There are four areas of interest in determining a card's condition. Centering, corners, edges and surface are taken into consideration for imperfections, such as color spots and blurred images, and wear, such as creases, scratches, and tears, when determining a trading card's value.<ref>{{cite web|title=Trading Card Grading Guide|url=http://www.cardboardconnection.com/comprehensive-guide-card-grading|work=CardboardConnection.com|publisher=The Cardboard Connection|access-date=16 May 2012}}</ref> Cards are considered poor to pristine based on their condition, or in some cases rated 1 through 10.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.beckett.com/estore/helpsys/viewarticle.aspx?ArticleId=47 |title=Grading Cards - BGS |publisher=Beckett |access-date=April 29, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100608224950/http://www.beckett.com/estore/helpsys/viewarticle.aspx?ArticleId=47 |archive-date=June 8, 2010 }}</ref> A card in pristine condition, for example, will generally be valued higher than a card in poor condition. Major card grading companies which provide these ratings on a scale of 1-10 include PSA, Beckett, and SGC. They provide individual grades for the centering, corners, edges, and surface of the card to eventually combine for one final grade. Older cards are generally more sensitive to wear and tear, meaning a '7' might lessen the value of a card printed in 2018, but could significantly increase the value of a card from 1950. While the grade has a major impact on the card's value, the population does as well. For example, there are over 20,000 Luka Doncic 2018 Base Prizm Cards graded a PSA 10, meaning this large population drives down the value of each card.

===Popularity===
Popularity of trading cards is determined by the subject represented on the card, their real life accomplishments, and short term news coverage, as well as the specifics of the card.<ref name="MLBFAQ" />

===Scarcity===
While vintage cards are truly a scarce commodity, modern-day manufacturers have to artificially add value to their products in order to make them scarce. This is accomplished by including serial-numbered parallel sets, cards with game-worn memorabilia and more. Time can also make cards more scarce due to the fact that cards may be lost or destroyed.<ref name=honuswag />

Some singles have been [[autograph]]ed by someone related to the card. The person who autographed the card may be depicted, or their artwork is visible on the card. Cards may also be autographed by the card designer or by a person famous for using that card. The value of an autographed card has been debated, often depending on who has autographed it or the scarcity of the autograph. In some cases, an autograph can be seen as damage to the card, or [[graffiti]].<ref name="OWENS"/><ref name="MILLER2">{{Citation |last=Miller |first=John Jackson |title=Scrye Collectible Card Game Checklist & Price Guide, Second Edition | year=2003 |page=48 |postscript=.}}</ref>

==Collecting==
It is often said that for someone playing a CCG, the best way to obtain the cards they desire is not via booster packs, but by buying the individual singles they need for their deck.<ref name="DUMMIES">{{cite book|title=Trading Card Games For Dummies|url=https://archive.org/details/tradingcardgames00kauf|url-access=registration|last1=Kaufeld|first1=John|last2=Smith|first2=Jeremy|publisher=[[John Wiley & Sons]]|year=2006|isbn=0470044071}}</ref> Purchasing booster packs is often seen as a form of [[gamble|gambling]], because buyers do not know which cards they will receive until after their purchase.<ref name="OWENS"/> Even though the price for an individual card may be more than the price of booster pack, they will likely save money in the long run, compared to buying multiple booster packs at greater cost in hopes of randomly getting it.<ref name="DUMMIES"/>

== Catalogs ==
Trading card catalogs are available both online and offline for enthusiasts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2009/06/14/colnect-is-a-no-frills-collectibles-marketplace-and-wiki-someone-wake-up-david-cowan/|title=Colnect Is A No-Frills Collectibles Marketplace And Wiki.

==Sports cards==
Sports card is a generic term for a trading card with a sports-related subject, as opposed to [[non-sports trading card]]s that deal with other topics. Sports cards were among the earliest forms of [[collectible]]s. They typically consist of a picture of a player on one side, with statistics or other information on the reverse. Cards have been produced featuring most major sports, especially those played in [[North America]], including, but not limited to, [[American football]], [[association football]] (soccer), [[baseball]], [[basketball]], [[boxing]], [[golf]], [[ice hockey]], [[racing]] and [[tennis]].

The first set with a sporting theme appeared in 1896, a [[cricket]] series by [[W.D. & H.O. Wills]] of 50 cricketers. The tobacco companies soon realised that sports cards were a great way to obtain brand loyalty. In 1896 the first association football set, "Footballers & Club Colours", was published by Marcus & Company, a small firm in [[Manchester]]. Other football sets issued at that time were "Footballers & Club Colours" (Kinner, 1898); "Footballers" (J. F. Bell, 1902); "Footballers" (F. J. Smith, 1902) and "Footballers" (Percy E. Cadle, 1904).<ref>[https://spartacus-educational.com/Fcigarette.htm The History of Football Cigarette Cards] on Spartacus Educational</ref>

The first stage in the development of sports cards, during the second half of the 19th century, is essentially the story of [[baseball card]]s, since baseball was the first sport to become widely professionalized. Hockey cards also began to appear early in the 20th century. Cards from this period are commonly known as [[cigarette card]]s or [[tobacco cards]], because many were produced by [[tobacco]] companies and inserted into [[cigarette]] packages, to stiffen cigarette packaging and advertise cigarette brands. One of the most expensive cards in the hobby is a cigarette card of [[Honus Wagner]] in a set called 1909 T-206. The story told is that Wagner was against his cards being inserted into something that children would collect. So the production of his cards stopped abruptly. It is assumed that less than 100 of his cards exist in this set. The 1909 T-206 Honus Wagner card has sold for as much as $2.8 million.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=3007893 |title=Honus Wagner card sells for record $2.8 million |publisher=ESPN |date=September 6, 2007 |access-date=May 11, 2010}}</ref> More recently, on August 28, 2022, a [[Mickey Mantle]] baseball card ([[Topps]]; #311; SGC MT 9.5) was sold for $12.600 million.<ref name="NYT-20220828">{{cite news |last=Albeck-Ripka |first=Livia |title=Baseball Card Sold for $12.6 Million, Breaking Record - The 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle baseball card is the most valuable piece of sports memorabilia ever to be sold at auction. |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/28/us/mickey-mantle-card-auction-baseball.html |date=August 28, 2022 |work=[[The New York Times]] |accessdate=August 29, 2022 }}</ref>

Sets of cards are issued with each season for major professional sports. Since companies typically must pay players for the right to use their images, the vast majority of sports cards feature professional athletes. Amateurs appear only rarely, usually on cards produced or authorized by the institution they compete for, such as a [[college]].

Many older sports cards (pre-1980) command a high price today; this is because they are hard to find, especially in good quality condition. This happened because many children used to place their cards in bicycle spokes, where the cards were easily damaged. Rookie cards of Hall of Fame sports stars can command thousands of dollars if they have been relatively well-preserved.

In the 1980s, sports cards started to get produced in higher numbers, and collectors started to keep their cards in better condition as they became increasingly aware of their potential investment value. This trend continued well into the 1990s. This practice caused many of the cards manufactured during this era to stay low in value, due to their high numbers.

The proliferation of cards saturated the market, and by the late 1990s, card companies began to produce scarcer versions of cards to keep many collectors interested. The latest trends in the hobby have been "game used memorabilia" cards, which usually feature a piece of a player's jersey worn in a real professional game; other memorabilia cards include pieces of bats, balls, hats, helmets, and floors. Authenticated autographs are also popular, as are "serially numbered" cards, which are produced in much smaller amounts than regular "base set cards".

Autographs obtained by card manufacturers have become the most collected baseball cards in the hobby's history. This started in 1990 in baseball when [[Upper Deck]] randomly inserted autographs of Reggie Jackson into boxes. They are commonly referred to as "Certified Autographed Inserts" or "CAI's". Both the athlete's and card company's reputations are on the line if they do not personally sign these cards. This has created the most authentic autographs in existence.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} These cards all have some form of printed statements that the autographs are authentic, this way, no matter who owns the autograph there is no question of its authenticity. CAI's have branched out into autographs of famous actors, musicians, presidents, and even Albert Einstein. Mostly these autographs are cut from flat items such as postcards, index cards, and plain paper. Then they are pasted onto cards. In 2001, a company called Playoff started obtaining autographs on stickers that are stuck on the cards instead of them actually signing the cards. There is strong opposition against these types of autographs because the players never even saw the cards that the stickers were affixed to.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}}

===Association football===
{{Main|Association football card}}
[[File:Churchman card birmingham.jpg|thumb|Early association football card by [[W.A. & A.C. Churchman|Churchman]], 1909]]
The first [[association football]] (or "soccer") cards were produced in 1898 by the Marcus & Company Tobacco in Manchester, [[England]].<ref>International Soccer Archives</ref> The set consisted of over 100 cards and was issued under the title of "Club Colours". They featured illustrated images of players on the front of the card, and a tobacco advertisement on the back of the card. Many other cigarette companies quickly created their own series, beginning with Kinner in 1898.<ref>{{cite web |title=Football Cigarette Cards |url=http://spartacus-educational.com/Fcigarette.htm |website=Spartacus Educational |access-date=June 21, 2018}}</ref> A later series of cards was produced in 1934 by Ardath, which was a 50-card set called ''Famous Footballers'' featuring images of players on the front of the card, and a tobacco advertisement and short biography of the player on the back of the card.

Modern association football trading cards were sold with bubble gum in the United Kingdom from 1958 to 1975 by A&BC, and later by [[Topps#Topps Europe Ltd. products|Topps, UK]] from 1975 to 1981. Similar smaller sized cards were issued in Spain and Italy beginning in the late 1940s.

In the 1930s, the Australian division of British [[Godfrey Phillips India|Godfrey Phillips Co.]] released a set of football cards. By the same time, Hoadleys, a local [[confectionery]] company, released a set of illustrated cards. Another confectionery company, Clarke-Ellis, also released its own set of cards.<ref name="austrcards">{{Cite web|url=http://members.optusnet.com.au/~dgreen2/1931-1940.htm|title=Austrlian Rules Footy Cards 1931 to 1940|website=members.optusnet.com.au}}{{Dead link|date=February 2025}}</ref> Other companies that launched cards sets in the 1930s were Pals Periodical, Plaistowe & Co., Carreras (two illustrated sets in 1933, the first of them with footballers caricatures by Bob Miram), Giant Licorice Cigarettes, [[MacRobertson's]] and [[W.D. & H.O.

===Baseball===
{{Main|Baseball card}}
[[File:1954 Bowman Mickey Mantle.jpg|thumb|A 1954 [[Bowman Gum|Bowman]] card of [[Mickey Mantle]]]]
Baseball cards will usually feature one or more [[baseball]] players or other baseball-related sports figures. The front of the card typically displays an image of the player with identifying information, including, but not limited to, the player's name and team affiliation. The reverse of most modern cards displays statistics and/or biographical information. Cards are most often found in the [[United States]]; however, they are also common in countries such as [[Canada]], [[Cuba]], and [[Japan]], where baseball is a popular sport and there are professional leagues.

The earliest baseball cards were in the form of [[trade cards]] produced in 1868.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cycleback.com/1800s/trade.htm |title=Early Trade Cards |first=David E. |last=Rudd |publisher=Cycleback |access-date=May 11, 2010}}</ref> They evolved into [[tobacco card]]s by 1886.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cycleback.com/1800s/tobacco1.htm |title=Tobacco Era Part I: Introduction |first=David E. |last=Rudd |publisher=Cycleback |access-date=May 11, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cycleback.com/1800s/tobacco2.htm |title=Tobacco Era Part 2 |first=David E. |last=Rudd |publisher=Cycleback |access-date=May 11, 2010}}</ref> In the early 20th century, other industries began printing their own version of baseball cards to promote their products, such as bakery/bread cards, caramel cards, dairy cards, game cards and publication cards. Between the 1930s and 1960s, the cards developed into trading cards, becoming their own product. In 1957, [[Topps]] changed the dimensions of its cards slightly, to 2-1/2&nbsp;inches by 3-1/2&nbsp;inches, setting a standard that remains the basic format for most sports cards produced in the United States.<ref>{{cite news |first1=Cesar |last1=Brioso |first2=Mike |last2=Dodd |title=Topps facts |publisher=[[USA Today]] |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/stories/2001-03-27-cards-facts.htm |date=March 27, 2001 |access-date=May 11, 2010}}</ref>

In 2005, the long-standing sports card producer [[Fleer]] went bankrupt and was bought out by [[Upper Deck]]. Not long after that, [[Donruss]] lost its MLB license. Since 2009, [[Topps]] has held exclusive rights to produce MLB-licensed baseball cards.<ref name="fanatics-topps-mlb">{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/32052284/fanatics-strikes-deal-become-exclusive-licensee-mlb-cards|last=Hajducky|first=Dan|title=Fanatics strikes deal to become exclusive licensee for MLB cards|publisher=ESPN|date=August 19, 2021|access-date=April 24, 2024}}</ref>

The first basketball cards were produced in 1910, in a series cataloged as "College Athlete Felts B-33".

{{Main|Hockey card}}
[[File:Albert Dubbie Kerr, Ottawa Senators.jpg|thumb|[[Albert Kerr]], player of the [[Ottawa Senators]], in a hockey card by [[Imperial Tobacco Canada]], c. 1910–11]]
The first hockey cards were included in cigarette packages from 1910 to 1913. After [[World War I]], only one more cigarette set was issued, during the 1924–25 season by Champ's Cigarettes. [[National Hockey League|NHL]] player [[Billy Coutu]]'s biography includes an example of one of the 40 cards issued at that time.

During the 1920s, some hockey cards were printed by food and candy companies, such as Paulin's Candy, Maple Crispette, Crescent, Holland Creameries and La Patrie.

Through 1941, [[O-Pee-Chee]] printed hockey cards, stopping production for [[World War II]]. Presumably, the 1941 involvement of the US in the war affected the hockey card market, since Canada had been in the war since 1939.

Hockey cards next appeared during 1951–52, issued by [[Shirriff|Shirriff Desserts]], York Peanut Butter and Post Cereal. Toronto's Parkhurst Products Company began printing cards in 1951, followed by Brooklyn's Topps Chewing Gum in 1954–1955. [[O-Pee-Chee]] and Topps did not produce cards in 1955 or 1956, but returned for 1957–58. Shirriff also issued "hockey coins."

===Lacrosse===
Lacrosse cards will usually feature one or more [[lacrosse]] players or another lacrosse-related theme.

===Netball===
With the [[Super Netball]] competition in Australia Tap'n'Play decided to enter the Netball trading card market. In 2018 they produced their first very basic release but in 2019 they produced a release full of colour and signature cards.

===Racing===
Racing cards consist of a card stock with stats and pictures on it. Sometimes it shows the car, sometimes it shows the driver's face, and sometimes both. It also shows the endorsing companies for the car.

In September 2020, it was announced<ref>{{cite web | url=https://uk.topps.com/blog/-topps-and-formula-1-sign-multi-year-exclusive-global-license-.html | title=Formula One }}</ref> that Topps had signed an exclusive worldwide agreement to become the Official Sticker and Trading Card Licensee of [[Formula 1]].

===Rugby League ===
{{Main|Rugby card}}
Rugby League cards were first produced in England in 1895. Initially these were produced as part of a multi-sport series. Early in the 1920s, the first dedicated Rugby League series was produced, featuring star players from the Northern Union, as the English-based Rugby Football League was then known. These were followed shortly after by cards produced in Australia, New Zealand, and Wales. Rugby League trading cards are popular in Australia, with sets having been produced annually since 1968. These sets primarily featured players from the Sydney-based New South Wales Rugby Football League, with some sets also being produced featuring players from the Brisbane-based Queensland Rugby League. In 1988 the New South Wales Rugby League expanded to become a de facto national league, and the cards were branded accordingly as "Australian Rugby League" cards in 1995, and "National Rugby League" cards in 1998.

===Rugby Union ===
{{Main|Rugby card}}

Rugby Union cards have been produced since the 1880s. However, production has been sporadic, with limited interest post-1940.

One of these being [[W.A. & A.C. Churchman]] tobacco company Men of the Moment in sport release of 1936. They also produced an exclusive lawn tennis release in 1928.

In 1983, Robinson's Barley Water produced a Sporting Records series. These cards featured many tennis superstars of the era, like [[Billie Jean King]].

In 1986 [[Panini Group|Panini]] trading cards produced a Supersport series featuring tennis trading cards.

In 1996, the Intrepid trading card company produced the only Australian market tennis trading card release, "Blitz".

The cards were designed in response to the trading cards popular among children in the US at the time which mostly featured men.

The following list includes companies that, apart from producing sports cards, manufacture/have manufactured non-sports cards as well:

==Counterfeits==
Fake cards are made to imitate real cards and often sold into the card market. In November 1995, [[Canada|Canadian]] police were notified of [[counterfeit]]ers in the Windsor, Ontario area. The police seized 40,000 fake [[Magic: the Gathering]] cards, including film plates.<ref name="Duelist">{{Citation | title = Wizards of the Coast News - Magic Counterfeiters Nabbed| page = 17 | newspaper = The Duelist | date = February 1997 | issue =#15}}</ref>
