Collecting surf legends: a trading card history
Trading cards are small, collectible cards that typically feature images of characters, athletes, or other subjects on one side and relevant information, statistics, or descriptions on the other.
They can be made of paper, cardboard, or other materials and are often collected, traded, and sometimes used in various games.
Trading cards have been popular since the late 19th century when they were initially used as promotional inserts in cigarette packs.
