The concept? A virtual collection consisting of 1 card from every year, with a heavy focus on non-sports cards, since that is the only section of the hobby that can truly cover every year- from 1879 to present, and continuing on into the future as well. However, there will be some sports cards mixed in as well, since I want this to be a true history of the hobby...at least as I collect it. So yes, there will be baseball in here somewhere, and football as well, and who knows what else. I want to select a good sampling of my collection and I have a wide variety of cards.
The first non-sports card as we know them was issued in 1879. It was a 1-card set and is exceptionally rare. I do not ever expect to own one. If I knew more about trade cards, which were ancestors of trading cards, I could probably go back a few decades but I just don't know much about them at all.
