The greatest name in the history of trading cards is making a comeback after 73 years. Collectors everywhere will applaud the return of the legendary and revered Sportkings brand!
The original Sport Kings Gum series was released by the Goudey Gum Company in 1933 and 1934 and featured 48 incredible athletes from a cross section of sports. In those days, a collector could open up a pack and receive a card depicting hockey icons like Howie Morenz or baseball’s revered Babe Ruth. Highly prized by modern collectors, the original Sport Kings cards have taken on a mystique and ranks among the most popular sets in the history of the hobby.

Only one person in the hobby could orchestrate this return to glory, Dr. Brian H. Price, the owner of In The Game Trading Cards and the mastermind behind the return of the Parkhurst brand to the hockey card market in 1991.
Sportkings Series A will pay tribute to big names from a wide range of athletic pursuits and will maintain the integrity of the original release. Each base card features original artwork and the roster includes such stars as baseball's Roberto Clemente and Ted Williams, hockey's Patrick Roy and Rocket Richard, football's Troy Aikman and Bart Starr along with many others that truly rank among the Kings of their respective sports including; Mia Hamm-Soccer, Mark Spitz-Swimming, Greg Louganis-Diving, Hulk Hogan-Wrestling, Nigel Mansell-Motor Sports, to name a few.
“There will be no photo-shoot memorabilia or redemptions in this product. Collectors have spoken loud and clear on these issues.”
A premium trading card release, Sportkings Series A will be one of most limited products ever made. Each pack will contain seven cards; three base cards in the traditional card size format, one base card in the original Sport Kings Gum size, one Autograph Card insert and two additional Autograph or Memorabilia inserts.
The first set in over 73 years, Sportkings Series A will be released in October, 2007. For a detailed article visit:
