Are TV show trading cards worth collecting?

[Matty4292]

I'm strongly considering going all out on collecting Supernatural. I am predominantly a Basketball collector but would like to widen my options so I don't know how things go with TV cards.

Are they worth collecting?

Will they hold the value when the show finishes?

Should I be worried that Supernatural is currently in Season 8 and they stopped making cards at Season 4?

Is there anything else I should know about collecting TV show cards?

OH and also, is there somewhere I can go to find out what TV/Movie cards there are. I seem to be discovering new ones every day.

I think some are.

EG i love Big Bang Theory so decided to get one wardrobe card of each character. Some and not cheap compared to NBA game worn but i believe the print run is lower.

Im a fan of supernatural so down the track will get at east one costume/wardrobe card of the the two brothers.

I can't even find a box of Supernatural lol

I'm thinking a box of Harry Potter is on the cards though

Some of the Harry Potter cards i have seen go for stupid money

This does look cool though

I see what you did there

They are worth it and let's be honest their prices are never going to drop. They will be collectable for a LONG time.

Yeah very true

Some hold value and some don't. Collect what you like rather than as an investment. Some shows are also very cheap - for example, I really like Warehouse 13 (a scifi show) and even main cast autos are available at $30.

To answer your question about what is available - see http://nslists.com/jaall.htm

If you want to know what new releases are going to be done - see http://www.nonsportupdate.com/upcomingreleases.htm

Surely benchwarmers are the only non sport trading cards worth collecting.

This is true. I guess there is one difference between NBA & TV cards, some NBA cards are often looked at as an investment.

Nice Matty, Nice. I'll give you the like for that one.

I think with TV shows its easier to chase the whole lot. Less inserts in total, less base cards, some autos are big mulah... like I decided I want to get Alias cards, Jennifer Garner autos are way out of my price range at the moment lol

Simpsons, Big bang, true blood are all huge money sets, I like anything Dark Knight. movie used tyres, costumes, bat suit pieces and autos. I think anything heath ledger sells for a mint.
