A non-sports trading card is a trading card featuring entertainment content on some subject of popular interest other than sports, designed for collecting. Produced in series, such cards could involve licensed properties from films or television. Other cards could be original creations, such as Topps humor cards or scenes from history.
In recent years, editorial cards have overlapped with the newer phenomenon of collectible card games. For example, the Pokémon craze yielded both a trading card game, produced by Wizards of the Coast, as well as regular trading cards by Topps and others that were not designed for gameplay.

Famous quotes containing the words trading and/or card:
“His farm was “grounds,” and not a farm at all;
His house among the local sheds and shanties
Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.”
—Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)
