Is There Such Thing as Soccer Cards?
If you’re deep in the basketball, baseball, or football side of the hobby, you’re probably wondering if there even is soccer cards!
Well, I can assure yes, they’re real… and they’re spectacular.
While the market is still somewhat new card-wise in America, soccer cards and stickers have been around since the 1940s… Or, maybe even earlier.
All you need to know is that they have been around a long time.
Recently though, the soccer market has been exploding with more and more lines getting released from your favorite brands (but more about that later).
What’s Better, Soccer Cards or Stickers?
I did mention soccer stickers above. While trading cards are the go-to product for American sports, for a long time – and even now, depending on the league – soccer stickers are the far more popular product.
They’re traditionally pretty basic by design and have a headshot of the player, along with their name and maybe a few key pieces of info. These stickers would be stuck in collector albums as opposed to just collected in folders and whatnot.
