History of Trading Cards Comes To Schaumburg Library

I will be presenting the History of Trading Cards on Thursday, July 25 at 7 p.m. at the Schaumburg Library. If you want to learn about the history of trading cards from their origins as advertisements to their current status as 2.5 x 3.5 encyclopedia entries, I hope you'll come out and visit.

It's my last presentation before the National Sports Collectors Convention and I'll bring out some packs to share with the participants. Let's talk trading cards!

I hope to see you there!

A History of a Beloved Hobby - Collecting Trading Cards

Ever wondered about the long history of the trading card? It's come a long way since its inception. Once packed out as a perk or advertisement to help sell tobacco, it's now a multi-million dollar business that involves collectors of all ages.

Enjoy a visual history of the development of trading cards with this hour-long presentation from long-time collector, writer, and Cardboard Connection Radio Show Host Doug Cataldo. From vintage to video cards, you'll see these collectibles in a new light. Learn about grading, authenticity, and the manufacturers that make the cards. Participate in a Q & A session at the end of the presentation. We'll even give some trading cards away before it's over!
