A non-sports trading card is a trading card featuring entertainment content on some subject of popular interest other than sports, designed for collecting. Produced in series, such cards could involve licensed properties from films or television. Other cards could be original creations, such as Topps humor cards or scenes from history.
In recent years, editorial cards have overlapped with the newer phenomenon of collectible card games. For example, the Pokémon craze yielded both a trading card game, produced by Wizards of the Coast, as well as regular trading cards by Topps and others that were not designed for gameplay.

Famous quotes containing the words trading and/or card:
“His farm was “grounds,” and not a farm at all;
His house among the local sheds and shanties
Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
