    Man, love that Truckin' one. Remember those bad boys and thought they were always cool and fun.

    The only one I really remember collecting is the Way Out Wheels. I think I had some of the Elvis cards but do not remember buying them.

    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one.

    We used to have our own forum just for non-sports, but its has been gone for quite a few years. If we start posting some more about non-sports maybe they will consider bringing it back. And if not, just some more discussion about non-sports cards and collecting would be really nice.

    I had quite a few graded non-sports cards, but sold most of them off in auctions and sent a few to The Wrapper to be included in their monthly giveaway. Right now I'm building sets in 9 pocket and 20 pocket pages and 1 inch notebooks. I love being able to flip the pages and look at all the cards laid out.

    Non sport packs are really colorful and many are very affordable as well. A nice way to build an unopened collection.

    I mentioned on an another post I would ride my bike to the local drug store to get Creature Feature cards every Saturday along with Evel Kenivel and Kung-Fu and Chopper cards. The 73' version is the best of Creature Features. They came out with a later 80' set that's not as up to par but you can get a whole box on Ebay for under a $1000 of that.

    Thank you for that feedback.... I might just have to snag a few 73 packs for nostalgia. We used to play 'scrambles' with the cards... basically, you throw a bunch in front of a group of kids and they scramble to get the cards they want. Obviously and foolishly, we did not card about condition.

    Just Received these 2 non-sport ET rack Packs TODAY in the mail... I'm thinking about starting to collect a few of the Non-sports racks from the 70's and 80's and see where it leads.. The rack packs seem to be rarer than wax Packs...I have little knowledge as to what/which non-sport racks exist..i.e like superman, jaws etc...I guess I can do an AI search but think it is more engaging to have peoples suggestions or responses...

    I loved having some E.T. rack packs but got impatient and opened them hoping for Gem Mint. No dice. But do have a nice Drew Barrymore rookie 😁 in a PSA 9 now so not a total loss. I probably will buy some more and leave them as is cause I love the way they look with the cooler images in the three visible cards. Then like the red and black E.T. tag.

    I like these two and am going to leave them as is. I could appreciate a PSA 10 Phoebe Cates but dont think its in there.

    Nice...I have 3 of the Gremlins Racks on their way...should get them by this weekend...Also a 1980 Topps empire strikes back series 2 BBCE rack pack and 2 1983 Topps A-TEAM rack packs are on their way as well...From searching ebay these non-sports racks are relatively rare...some like the 1980 empire strikes back racks are pretty expensive...

    Maybe so. But you had fun scrambling. Just as us sports card buyers had fun flipping back then.

    I believe these two are the only nonsport issues where Topps utilized the trays. It's too bad they didn't do more of these. Star Wars would have been awesome.

    The only other one I've been able to find is this nickel six pack Beatles tray.

    I agree, Star wars would have been an epic tray.

    That Beatles tray is insane!


    Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports

    Wow, I totally agree on the Beatles - that is fantastic. Never knew that existed.

    Thanks! Definitely a highlight of the collection and personal favorite. It's also made me ponder if there is another non sport tray out there we haven't seen yet. Even battlestar Galactica has been hard to track down compared to superman trays.

    Can you please tell me what the current market value is for these three items? Beatles, Superman, and BG.

    I would say Superman tops out about 100$
    And BG about 500$
    BG is much more rare than Superman

    Beatles is way way higher not sure on price but Beatles is way more rare than BG

    yes, $100 is best case, they generally sit unsold at $70-80. Cool item but low demand and decent supply. One of the most common trays.

    It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)
    Not even a minute do I buy the whole buh buh buh I'm a man-child japery - Me (2025)

    I have one of those Greek bootleg Star Wars packs as well. These came with Star Wars and Star Trek cards. What was more interesting is the back of that pack shows odds of winning certain items, like a flashlight, transistor, wrist watch, and a bike

    We need to wait until they make it safely back home before we start a new card drive. It would be really bad to create a new card set if they didn't make it back ok.

    Me too. I’ve got a few signed and would love to get one of each. Seems like Jeff is the most difficult. I’ve never seen a signed card from him.

    You've got a lot of really nice looking boxes of non-sports stuff there. It is, in general, getting harder and more expensive to pick up boxes like that. Keep up the good work.

    One of my newest favorite packs

    Received another unopened pack today that I got off of ebay. Unfortunately it has a small hole poked in the back from one of the car parts. When I went back to look at the pictures the hole was evident in one of them so that is on me. It's still a really neat looking wrapper and there are supposed to be some really cheesy card like inserts in each pack (each one is part of a puzzle that when they are all put together they make a race track.
