Hobby news rooted in history
PostWarCards is a media platform dedicated to exploring and documenting the sports collectibles hobby with depth, curiosity, and historical context. What started as a blog has evolved into a broader project—an ongoing effort to surface overlooked stories, analyze old sets with fresh eyes, and share insights that help collectors understand not just what they’re collecting, but why it matters.
Whether I’m writing about unopened packs, obscure memorabilia, oddball card sets, the people who shaped the hobby, or today’s news and major auction results, my goal is always the same: to make the past feel alive—and useful—for collectors today. That includes tracking how the industry evolves, spotlighting key players and companies, and putting modern hobby developments in historical context.
What You’ll Find Here
- Cards: From post-war classics to oddballs and crossovers.
- Unopened: A deep dive into the sealed side of the hobby.
- The Hobby Library: Scans, articles, catalogs, and reference material.
- Memorabilia: Autographs, tickets, promotional items, and relics.
- News & Industry: Trends, stories, and notes from around the hobby.
- Events & Shows: Snapshots of the collecting culture, past and present.
- Editorials: My personal essays, project updates, and longer-form thoughts.
My Approach
I try not to just report on the hobby—I give it context. The stories I write today are always tied to the ones that came before. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how the old connects to the new, or why something from decades ago suddenly feels relevant again, this site is for you.
