While sports rule the trading card world, there is plenty of space for non-sports as well...in fact, non-sports cards predate sports cards, being issued every year since at least 1879.

I'll admit. I'm different from most everyone on this great site. I don't follow any sports. The last sporting event I went to was a Red Sox game in 2012. The company I worked for at the time had a contest for every department within the company, where each department had to get together and write a short story on how well they worked together. My supervisor wrote it. No one else wanted to. The shipping and receiving department got to go to a Red Sox game against the Yankees at Fenway. The best part was, we were invited to be up in the companies corporate sweet above the 3rd baseline. The place was huge. The CEO was there and he was a real nice guy too. There was all kind of awesome food and beer. Of course the Red Sox lost, like they wanted to or something. They mostly watched the ball go by them in the field. Dem bums.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Second scrimmage didn’t go so well, we lost 13-0 to Calvert Hall. First game is on Wednesday though against our rival Glen Burnie, so looking forward to that.

Good luck against Glen Burnie, Ian! I hope you get good weather. It got close to 60 here today. I had to take my jacket off. Spring is almost here!!! ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
