All-Star Card

29 April 2007

An All-Star card is pretty much what you would think it is - a baseball or other sports card depicting a popular player.  However, it’s not just a card of an outstanding athlete.  The term "all-star" derives from the elite team of players from a league, conference, etc.

Therefore, an All-Star card depicts a baseball, football, basketball, etc. player who was selected to the All-Star team from the year prior to the release of the card.  In other words, if baseball great Ken Griffey, Jr. has a 1996 All-Star card, then he was on the All-Star team from 1995.
