Early Baseball Cards
The first baseball cards were trade cards printed in the late 1860s by a sporting goods company, around the time baseball became a professional sport. Most of the baseball cards around the beginning of the 20th century came in candy and tobacco products. It was during this era that the most valuable baseball card ever printed was printed. In 1933 the world first saw baseball cards with players biographies on the backs as well as the first baseball cards to include bubble gum in the packets.
