If sports and gaming (Pokeman, YuGiOh!, etc.) cards disappeared tomorrow, which non-sports cards would you collect for fun and/or investment?
Star Wars?
1966 Batman?
Garbage Pail Kids?
Some of the Marvel sets?
Other random movie and tv show stuff (Aliens, Mork & Mindy, etc.)?
Something else?
Curious what others find interesting outside of sports stuff.

Yaz Master Set
#1 Gino Cappelletti master set
#1 John Hannah master set
Also collecting Andre Tippett, Patriots Greats' RCs, Dwight Evans, 1964 Venezuelan Topps, 1974 Topps Red Sox
just dipping my toe into 1965 James Bond...
59 Fleer 3 Stooges
66 Topps Batman
Grab an occasional card when I see them cheap.
Still looking to put away a #1 Curley and a #1 The Batman (looking for graded 7, 7.5 or 8)
Haven't found either one centered to my liking as yet...

Thank You and we don't hold the fact that you drool over cardboard Pictures of Men against you as well!
(Well maybe we might side glance questionably every once in awhile!)
YeeHah!

I dabble. I've got a lot of Star Wars as I was pretty big into that for a while between sports card phases. I have also just picked up random sets or singles that caught my eye, mostly TV shows/movies (ET, Bond, Black Hole, Three's Company, Planet of the Apes, etc.), but also things like an astronomy tobacco set , early Bob Hope cards, Spanish galleons, pin-ups and whatever else needed to show I have a complete lack of focus.
Are Batman, the Three Stooges and James Bond not men?

Nothing specific; I may send a few in eventually but the set is complete and well protected for now.
I mostly collect sports cards so whenever I line up a submission I tend to gravitate to sending the sports cards. Actually, the Bond card is at PSA right now as part of a Collector Club sub right now...

Baseball cards will always be big #1 with me, as far as cards are concerned, as i like coins as well on an equal or greater level.
However i've always liked non-sports cards as well, and i find those old vintage cards of almost anything to be quite cool. Especially the old tobacco cards from here, and some foreign lands.
Bond, James Bond, though I picked these up for the golf theme from Goldfinger ...
but, not the usual Bond cards. I love forgetting what I ordered and checking the mail, "Why is there a package from Italy in my box?"
Agente 007 from the Movicolor and Elah sets.
I don’t know why but I just have a feeling that these are going to pop at some point.

That reminds me...
...Gradable? 🤔

No, that belongs in your wallet in front of the state ID.
My dear friend, I am a member of a secret spy ring and therefore can’t carry around something on my person that ID’s me as such.
What is this amateur hour? You trying to get me killed!?!?!

Not much into non-sports cards. I have plenty from when I was a kid of movies, Comics, Desert Storm, Planes of WW2, etc.

I don’t collect any non sports but like the nostalgia of 77 Star Wars, Batman and James Bond.
I always liked those Welcome back Kotter cards from 1976.

None ever. I loved sports as a kid. Particularly football, basketball and baseball.
I like movies and fiction but collect nothing outside of sports. I do not get the appeal of Pokémon, but it is wildly popular, to each his own. I just know a large part of sports card value is based on a player’s performance and popularity. I do not know how many home runs Pikachu hit or how many touchdowns Chorizozard scored that gives them their value. I also do not get a lot of things about the hobby currently, so that is ok.
I do think the Star Wars cards and some of the older non sports are very cool. Just not not my thing and not for me.
how about some Zeppelin cards !!!
I’d go with the 1966 James Bond set or the 1974 Scooby doo rookie card magic trick set.

The 77's (not in your pic) are outstanding as well. I'd say the 73's, 75's and 77's are my favorites.
