Pop Culture Cards on the Rise: (I'm just here for the zip line).

Non-Sports Trading Cards

Allen & Ginter

Pop Culture

Yes, you've probably seen this card floating around and posted a million times in the past week. Yet, here I am, sharing that my urge to buy this card is even greater than my desire to buy a card of one of my favorite sports players. I have found myself asking, why do I want a driving crooner autographed card for $300 when I could get a nice Stroud PSA 10 for less than that?

I think Allen & Ginter demonstrates how much of a success pop culture cards could be within the collectibles community. Could you imagine the selling price of a Taylor Swift A&G card? I've seen weak attempts at this in the past from Topps with the Lil Wayne collaboration, and great success with the Travis Scott Topps Chrome.

WHY CAN WE NOT GET A CONSISTENTLY GOOD POP CULTURE SET? Maybe this confession I am about to make is sad, but right now I think I'd be more likely to buy a signed card of the Rizzler than I am to buy a Caleb Williams rookie card. If you do not know who The Rizzler is, just know he is A BIG DEAL. I'll leave it at that.
