Vintage Trading Cards
A trading card (or collectible card) is a small card, usually made out of cardboard 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.
Origin
From approximately 1887 to 1901, small cloth strips were circulated with the names of baseball players on them. These original cards were very rare, and are worth up to 800 USD today.
From 1902 to 1935, printed cardboard baseball cards originated as gimmicks distributed with tobacco products, bubble gum, and other snacks (similar to prizes in cereal boxes today). During this period, there was wide variation in the production of cards, mostly because the style was new and distributors had not yet decided on a particular style. Many cards also had rare flaws and misprints because manufacturers were still experimenting with different production methods.
After 1936, most of the card manufacturers had decided on a certain style, and most cards remained the same. The cards themselves ceased to be packaged along with other products and became a product in their own right.
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.

Ace Trading - Yu Shan Tw Hd2001"living Accents" "5-piece" Card Table SetReviewsI'm very pleased with the table and chairs. The size is exactly what I needed and the color is very nice. The only thing I didn't like was that the shipping was sort of slow (over 2 weeks). We received the card table and chairs, but the quality is not what we expected. The chairs are not very sturdy and the cushioning is minimual. They are also uncomfortable to sit it. We are returning them to the seller and hopefully find a more high quality set. I am willing to pay more for high quality; perhaps I am just not familiar with the price/quality ratios when it comes to card tables and folding chairs. I may have expected too much for the price.

World Poker Tour - Season TwoReviewsThe Hottest thing on TV in 2005-06 was POKER if you could have believed that, seems a long time ago when every channel had Poker on, you had Celebrity Poker challenge, the Woods gang Poker chanllenge, Ultimate Poker challenge, World series of Poker and Ciruit events, hiphop poker, Poker Superstars I-III, but the grandaddy of them all was......the World Poker Tour hands down! Extremely well produced, great 2 hour episodes, great featurettes from Shana each week, yah the WPT was an icon back a few years ago. Now its subpar as no names fill the final tables now and reduced to 1 hour "to be continued" next week episodes. Get Poker at oits best...get Season 2 of the WPT! I HOPE YOU LOVE POKER THIS SET IS FOR YOU 1 NEW EVENT A 3 TIME WPT CHAMPION IS CROUND A LOT OF THE SAME PEOPLE EACH WEEK LOOK OUT FOR LOVE OVER SEAS IN ONE TURMENT THE BLUFFS ANE MORE FUN TO WATCH This is by far the best of the first three seasons DVDs. The production quality is good and the play is great. I found the entire thing brand new for under ten dollars here on Amazon, so keep an eye out for a good deal. TIP: If you have not seen the season already or do not remember much about the matches, DO NOT read the back of the "final table" DVD or anything that will tell you who is playing on that last championship table. I made the mistake of browsing the back of the cases and didn't realize until I was watching the season opener that I knew who was going to win. Kinda took something out of it. Just a thought. The best poker tournament DVD, very good action from the pro players, beaultiful places over the world, it pays the price!!! This set is packed with many of the world's greatest players, plus some highly entertaining oddballs ("The island of Crete!") and plenty of quality poker.The commentaries are great,indeed the set is worth buying just to hear Daniel Negreanu's impersonation of Gus Hansen telling one of his poker stories.They do a good job of including some of the the more normal hands and not just the more dramatic ones.While these dvds do a remarkable job, considering the amount of tournaments they cover and by necessity have to concentrate on the final tables, it would be great to see play from earlier in the tournament, as we rarely get to see how the pros handle this different style of play. Also why not have a commentary track on every tournament? The hosts, Mike Sexton, Vince Van Patten and Shana Hyatt are consistently affable,amusing and glamorous throughout, and it is easy to watch the discs again and again. Average Rating:![]() |

Ring of Honor: Stars of HonorReviewsLet me start off by saying this is one of the three dvds that made me a ROH fan. Samoa Joe vs CM Punk : Umm wow this is a great match and I think it's one of the top 10 matches in ROH history these work it to a tee they do have one match which is a little better but imo I like this one just as much Homicide vs Antonio Banks (MVP) Ok my least favorite match on the dvd as it just doesn't have much goin for it and the crowd doesn't really care for it at all James Gibson vs Roderick Strong If you havn't seen Jamie Noble go in the ring in a flat out wrestling match then this is for you as it's a pretty good match but Roderick has a better match on this dvd so just wait for the best of him Bryan Danielson vs Spanky I'm in love with this match it shows how good spanky really is and show why Danielson is one of the best in the world must see match again Matt Hardy vs Homicide This is a pretty good match between these two and is very watchable but it is overshadowed by the next match Matt Hardy vs Roderick Strong This is the best match I've seen with Matt Hardy in a 1 on 1 match these two put on a great match that is really worth watching if you're a Matt fan but heck I'm not a huge fan of him and I love this match Christopher Daniels vs Christian Cage This is another very good match but it may not reach your full expectations but it is very good and ages well Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal vs Low Ki and Homicide Mainstearm fans will love this match because it is really booked to where every wrestling fan would love it and I don't know someone who hadn't seen any ROH before I showed them some matches this one included and they say this stuff is great So enjoy as you just get some of the best wrestling in the world This is the best dvd to pick up if you want to know how some of today's new stars began. This is also a good dvd to show you some of today's stars actually wrestle, unrestricted, and with full potential. I'll put it to you like this: for an ROH retail dvd, it's a dvd to own. For a general wrestling dvd, it's a dvd to own. If you're a fan of Samoa Joe, C.M. Punk, Homicide, Jay Lethal, Matt Hardy, or even remotely a fan of MVP The Brian Kendrick, or Jamie Noble, this is a dvd to own. Yes, I took a TNA catchphrase and applied it to a wrestling company that actually lived by the tag line. Most fans of mainstream promotions will not have heard of Ring of Honor, yet the promotion has given birth to some of the biggest stars of WWE and TNA. CM Punk, MVP, Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, Homicide and others were all born out of ROH so I guess we owe the company a thank you. Those not familiar with the history of the promotion, let me give you a quick overview. The promotion was first founded in 2002 by Rob Feinstein, but was later bought out by Cary Silkin who is the current owner. Their match booker, Gabe Sapolsky was a man trained in his craft by the one and only Paul Hayman. Let me be honest and say Hayman has taught Gabe well as he has never but on a bad wrestling show. Their first show "Era of Honor Begins" was held in Philadelphia and featured such names as Super Crazy, Eddy Guerrero, Brian Danielson and Low Ki. This gave us a 3 hour non-stop wrestling show that took the hardcore ECW fans and new wrestling fans alike and said "Don't worry, wrestling isn't dead yet." Since 2002 ROH has grown into a promotion able to hold successful shows around the world including Japan and the UK. This DVD along with the other three are their first widely released DVDs as previously their show DVDs have only ever been sold on their website or other wrestling related websites. This DVD along with the other three showcases the talent of ROH to a wider audience and Stars of Honor is the place to begin. With the match list it showcases some of the best matches from the company featuring their biggest talents. Special features include appearances from legends Bruno Sammartino and Mick Foley. Below is the match list for this DVD that I promise you wont be disappointed with. 1. Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk -12/4/04 (features new commentary) 2. Homicide vs. Antonio "MVP" Banks- 2/19/05 (features new commentary) 3. James (Noble) Gibson vs. Roderick Strong- 4/2/05 (features new commentary) 4. Bryan Danielson vs. Brian "Spanky" Kendrick- 4/2/05 (features new commentary) 5. Matt Hardy vs. Homicide- 8/12/05 6. Matt Hardy vs. Roderick Strong- 8/13/05 7. Christopher Daniels vs. Christian Cage- 7/29/06 8. Samoa Joe & Jay Lethal vs. Low Ki & Homicide - 8/13/05 Very good DVD that for any wrestling fan is a must own. I recently purchased this DVD from ROH and I have to say that I was completely blown away from the quality foe the maches that I saw on this DVD. All the matches that are on here were outstanding, with my favorite being the one between Bryan Danielson & Spanky. I definitely recommend this DVD to anyone who is a fan of Professional Wrestling, not "sports entertainment". This is a great DVD and really shows the great wrestlers that have come out of ROH.

The Art of Judy Buswell - Leanin' Tree Greeting Cards (AST90608) - 20 cards with full-color interiors and 22 designed envelopesReviewsThese are by far and away some of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen (and I love to send cards, send dozens each year). They are definitely targeted toward women, however, because they are very feminine. I love impressionism and these cards remind me a great deal of Monet paintings or even some of Georgia O'Keefe's lovely flower works only a little more muted. Each card is front, back and inside just lovely. Also, each envelope is beautiful as well. You can be sure that whomever receives one in the mail will be excited to open the pretty envelope and then will not be disappointed to see the lovely card. Highly recommend. THE CARDS ARE BEAUTIFUL, HOWEVER THE ENVELOPES COULD BE BETTER AS TO NOT QUITE BE THE SAME DEPTH IN COLOR AS THE CARDS ARE. YOU NEED MORE ROOM FOR ADDRESSES. Leanin' Tree Art of Judy Buswell Greeting Card Assortment was a perfect gift for an elderly aunt who lives in northern Minnesota (burrrrr). She was really pleased to receive them as she still wants to remember her loved ones on special occasions, yet it is cumbersome for her to go shopping. By keeping this beautiful assortment on hand, it serves a very useful purpose in helping to always remember our loved ones - even when we (almost) forget. Average Rating:![]() |

SanDisk 8GB microSDHC Card CLASS 2 (SDSDQ-8192, Bulk Package)ReviewsI ordered six of these for an immediate need. No Super Saver shipping available from Amazon. The Vendor charged me over $35.00 to standard ship the TINY little memory cards in a very small light box. For Ground Shipping the charges were a Rip-Off. I heartily recommend this Micro SD Card to anyone who needs a good balance between affordability and storage space. I've got several hours of music and a video or two as well as several documents that I can work on any time I want. Great card, great price! Im not sure how much a normal 8GB micro SD card costs but I know it hovers well over the price of this one! Normally, for a cheaper item like this, the quality may dwindle. But it does exactly what it says and there are no complaints For those of you with PSP systems, this micro SD and the Memstick adapter is the hook-UP for your PSP. I was skeptical first time ordering from amazon. However, my fears are over, the package arrived in a very durable bubble wrap envelope, fit in the mail box, arrived a day before the ship date to a country address, with my mail carrier that was amazing. The micor sd and mem stick pro adapter worked flawlessly with my PSP. it is what you expect it is a storage card and at [...] buck cheaper then best buy you can't beat it Average Rating:![]() |

SanDisk 4 GB Class 2 SDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDB-4096-A11ReviewsWarning this is a secure card which means it is locked from the factory it will not work in all cameras Unsure what kind of memory card I needed, I found the right information here and the card was shipped out ASAP. Very satisfied! After two weeks I finally received the product 4GB SD card bulk. It was the wrong card- I needed a micro SD card. Either they sent me the wrong card or I accidently clicked on the wrong item. I got a RMD and mailed the package back to them for an exchange. It has been 2 weeks and now they first tell me that they have not received it So I lost $11.50 and my time and postage. Don't order from digital media source. I ordered four of these and three were DOA. I repeatedly changed position of the switch to no avail. Still DOA. I use the only live one just to store data from my computer. Not usable in any of my cameras. recieved 2 days ahead of time and saw the same product for 36 dollars more at CVS went to disney with my girfriend and with over 1,000 photos to be taken at high res this is more then enough..great product!!

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator World Championship Tournament 2009ReviewsThis game was for my 9 year old. I love that it's keeping him entertained longer than other games. The levels get hard, but not too hard where he would lose interest in the game. Sure, he gets frustrated, but after leaving it for a while he's back at it and accomplishes the level. Although I don't like him to spend his day playing games, I do like that he gets to figure out problems on his own and thus gets a sense of accomplishment. It's not for children that don't have patience as each level brings new, harder problems that take time to learn and react. If you are a fan: pros: The UI for the duel is well done. The numbers of cards are great. You can duel with almost every NPC. Races (very simplistic) Other modes (havent played them yet) cons: Beginner deck is weak. forbidden cards you have to see a card before you can actually use the code of it. If you are not a fan: Look for something else. The graphics, the sound & story are lame. The duels are more than five minutes each so you can get bored fast cause the game is about that. This is an awesome game but the first boss is too freakin' HARD! Lenny with his bug deck...in two turns everytime I battle him he has 2 monsters over 2500 ATK points on the field and I never get lucky enough to draw Mirror Force or any other trap that would help me. If he's that hard I can't imagine the other bosses. My son really loves this game although it takes a long time to build a deck to be able to play on line.He plays it a lot well worth the $$$ for a yu-gi-oh fan. This game is great for people who love yugioh. It has a majority of cards untill after Rise of Crisis pack but some minor cards are missing that woulnd't even be missed. probably the best thing abuot this game is the ability to play with others on the wifi and how the rules and ban lish can be updated.

Bella SaraReviewsThis is from my daughter: Likes: * getting pocket money because I can spend it on expensive stuff in the store like clothes and tack for horses * getting trading cards so I could get horses * free-ride areas were fun, where you can get trading cards and horseshoes that act like pocket money Dislikes: * could not change appearance of the person in the game so it could look like me. * got tired of cleaning the horses over and over again to progress The game is fun and I play it every day. I enjoy explaining it to my younger sister who doesn't many DS games. She helps me clean the horses. It is a pretty good game. I only rated it a 4 because it is very unrealistic. there are nine spots of dirty hay that you replace with clean hay, but it is in the corner of the stall, what good is that? And one horse flys, which is actually pretty neat. After about seven to ten hours, you collect all the cards and get all the horses, and there is nothing to do. Overall it is a good game. The game on Nintendo DS is the next best thing to playing it on the computer. She loves the game and plays it all the time. It is also a game that she can play by herself. I would highly recommend this game & I hope they make another one to go along with it. I bought this DS game for my 7 year old grandaughter for Christmas. She has collected the trading cards for about a year now, so when I saw that Nintendo had a Bella Sara game I knew I had to purchase it. And she was so excited, her mother says she plays with it all the time. I bought the game for my daughter who is really into horses right now. Bella Sara is her favorite on-line game, and now she can take it with her wherever she goes! She was really excited about the card that came with the game because it gave her access to a new horse on her on-line game. The graphics are so real! Very detailed and beautiful! All in all, it was her favorite Christmas gift! Average Rating:![]() |

Pokemon - Trading Card GameReviewsIt is very hard and confusing. Gets boring after a while. Get something newer like a ds or dsi pokemon game. This game was the classic sequel to the Win95 CD-Rom version of the game. The young adults who were fans of the TCG when they were kids would love this game. For the new fans of the TCG, this could be a history lesson on how it all began. The game follows a similar pattern to the rpg-style Pokemon games: 8 gym leaders and one final Champion. This game has high replay value due to its gbc-link compatible fighting and trading system. And collectors can enjoy the challenge of getting all the cards. My rating: 4/5 There are 3 games to play, but for one of them you need 2 gameboys and 2 cartridges. For another one, you just walk around through buildings and do absolutely nothing. In the other one, you just make a deck but it has to have 60 cards in it and only one deck has 60 cards in it. This game is really confusing, especially if you don't have the instructions. Don't buy it! The game is awesome! Don't let the other reviews fool you-you don't even notice the "faults" when you play b/c this game is so fun! I would reccomend this to anyone-even if you hate pokemon. It's that good. Now go get it! The first time I got this game I didn't like it very much. Then I let one of my friends borrow it and he never brought it back. Then I got it again in hopes of beating some people. So I walked into the Rock Club to defeat the master there and he told me I had to go find his pupils first. So I found two of them and I still can't find the others. I even went on a cheat website and I followed where it says she is and she's not there! This game is really boring. I mean really. Playing the TCG in real life is way more fun. Average Rating:![]() |

Your goal in life is to become a Pokémon Card Master. In order to do that, you must pick a deck from three starter packs of cards based on Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur and travel to the eight card clubs and defeat their leaders... |

Bella SaraReviewsThis game was alright, it could have been better. The Nintendo DS version is much better than the PC version actually (they do have some key differences). I'm not a crazed horse fan, but my sister is and this game is more for her. She'd easily give it a 5 star rating blindly due to her intense love for horses. From a user who isn't caught up in the Bella Sara horse craze, this game is decent and alright fun. But, it's perfect for any horse lover. It's a safe enough buy money-wise if you are planning to give it to a horse lover. ^_^ This is a really fun game with great pictures and cool horses. I was a little disappointed I didn't get to ride a winged pegasus like "Nike" or a unicorn like "Mandalay", but other than than it was a pretty good game. Once you find certain cards while riding "Excelsior", you then get another horse than can unlock special gates to new places. You continue to find more cards and then get more horses. Once I got all the cards and horses, I lost a bit of interest in the game as I didn't have the anticpation of getting more horses. It took a lot of work to get all the horses though, so I enjoyed it for a long time. My 6 1/2 year old daughter loves this, and her Mom & Dad have been willingly pulled into this virtual world called North of North. It's set up so you explore different areas of the world, collect cards, and do certain "challenges". As you complete the challenges, it unlocks different horses, and each of the horses unlocks certain gates in the virtual world. It's pretty amazing, and my little girl is thrilled every time she gets a new horse or discovers a new part of the world. By today's standards, Bella Sara may not be technically state-of-the-art. But I think the game developers did a terrific job. All of the elements: visuals, gameplay, background music and characters, work together to create a deeply immersive fantasy world and a sense of discovery. A few nits: there are some bugs in the logic: you may find yourself acquiring cards that are already in your collection; or acquiring a card and then not finding it in your collection. And it wasn't so obvious to me that the only way to advance in the game is not simply by collecting cards, but specifically by completing the challenges that are posted on the "Notice Board." Once I figured that out, the game is pretty straightforward. I haven't seen the Bella Sara game for Nintendo DS, so I don't know if it's similar. But I hope there's a sequel. I purchased this game (bella sara) for my two horse crazy daughters. I was impressed with the games graphics and also the relevence it has for my 5 year old daughters. If I let them, my girls would play this game all day and all night. This game incorporates both the real characteristics of horse ownership and also a magical make believe world. My girls eat it up! Being a horse person myself I also liked how this game teachs responsabilty in ownership and shows all the work it takes to care for these beautiful animals. Not really an education game, and I don't know how older children would take to it being so simplistic ; but definatly a fun one for my girls! I give it four stars! I got this for my 6 year old daughter who just loves horses and she is having alot of fun with it. I also enjoy playing! Average Rating:![]() |
