Personally, I consider Magic, Yugioh, and Pokemon to be a different category of cards, the Collectible Card Games (CCGs) or as PSA calls them, Trading Card Games (TCGs).
So while they can carry a large value themselves, I don't lump them under the category of "non-sports."

I started to dabble as an extension of my baseball interests such as Helen Dauvray Ward's Championship Cup and pendants that the Wolverines would win in 1887.



My interest in Goodwin & Co. cigarette packs and redemption coupons has extended well into the non-sport world. Its interesting to me to study and collect the items that were competing for the consumer's nickel.

If you were buying smokes in 1888, would you know that you were going to get a baseball player when you picked out a particular pack, or were female banjo players (etc) put in the same packs?

Even though, as I mentioned previously in this thread, I know squat about non-sports cards, that hasn't stopped me from gathering here and there some cards that appeal to me.

In a similar vein I believe the human race has, in general, populated the world without knowing squat beforehand how to raise offspring that is sometimes the result of such repopulating activity. And yet we have made it this far...

Wow, incredibly informative answers and I’ve started to go down the research rabbit hole! Thanks to all who have commented, answered my questions, and even answered questions I didn’t know I had!

I have to know, what’s with the Hebrew Mick Jagger card???

Great question I’d also like to know the answer to!

Same as sports, some collectors specialize is a certain era or a certain subject.
You can collect whatever your interest is : music, rock and roll, movies, TV Shows, War Cards , humor etc. It's fun, you can collect The Beatles, or Mork & Mindy, Welcome back Kotter, Jaws, KISS, Mars Attack, Old Westerns, etc.

I'm surprized the non-sports card forum doesn't advertise more about their site. It is listed at the top right corner of this page. I don't see them advertise in "The Wrapper", a magazine about non-sports cards. Only 500 members, should be in the 10k range easy.
