The most popular sports cards are baseball, football, basketball and hockey. However, there are also cards for pro wrestling, boxing, soccer, bowling, fishing, and dog sled racing. Even the American Gladiators have cards. One company prints baseball cards in Spanish and another portrays football players as superheroes. It is virtually impossible now to collect a full set of every type of card because there are so many.
Some people say too many are on the market.
Many people, including collectors are trying to figure out what all these cards are really worth. Some say many are not as valuable as the price guides say they are. Collecting these cards makes a great hobby. But the most fun part of the hobby is not putting them in a safe deposit box - read them and enjoy playing with them. Well, there is a lot of work involving nearly 200 people in the making of just one set of cards.
