Randall, Michael (August 20, 2018). "Gary Ablett Snr and Jr team up with signature trading card as collecting experiences renaissance". Herald Sun. The value of a trading card depends on a combination of the card's condition, the subject's popularity and the scarcity of the card. In some cases, especially with older cards that preceded the advent of card collecting as a widespread hobby, they have become collectors' items of considerable value. In recent years, many sports cards have not necessarily appreciated as much in value due to overproduction, although some manufacturers have used limited editions and smaller print runs to boost value. Trading cards, however, do not have an absolute monetary value. Cards are only worth as much as a collector is willing to pay. [30] Douglas Coakley was responsible for the design of the cards, plus signing up the teams and individual footballers (his brother Tony can remember seeing signed permission slips obtained by Doug as he toured around the training grounds). Later on Tony's son Sheridan, who created an in house A&BC Art & Development Department, joined him. A footballer series was produced every year in their thousands and therefore became the mainstay of A&BC.

Also worthy of note are several series that A&BC published that never made it past Topps' test card phase in the USA, like Land Of The Giants and Superman In The Jungle . There are also some A&BC sets that were never published by Topps at all, either as regular or test sets, including High Chaparral and Girl From U.N.C.L.E . Collectors on a budget can buy the smaller A&BC versions of expensive Topps sets like Civil War News, although some series redrew a few cards with inferior art, and even pulled controversial cards from the set, as did the Battle series .

Then you’ve got troubles.” In 2022, Indonesian manufacturer FanGir established a groundbreaking partnership with PT Liga Indonesia Baru (Operator of Indonesia's top football league tier) to introduce the inaugural BRI Liga 1 Trading Card Collection. This collaboration brought to life a unique series of trading cards capturing the essence of Indonesian football excellence showcased in the BRI Liga 1, and showcased players such as Pratama Arhan, Wiljan Pluim, Kim Kurniawan to Evan Dimas to name a few. Following this successful venture, in August 2022, FanGir extended its collaborative efforts by joining forces with the Indonesian Professional Footballers Association (APPI) to unveil the Indonesian Football Legends Collection. This collection pays homage to revered football icons such as Kurniawan, Bambang Pamungkas, and others who have left an indelible mark on the nation's football heritage.

We’re not in the gum business,” Shorin says. “We’re in the children’s entertainment business. That’s all we want to do.”
