Its been a pretty incredible run for sports cards recently.

After companies printed cards into oblivion in the late 1980s through the 1990s, the sports card industry took a turn into oddball offerings in the early 2000s. But some of the experimental stuff companies did in that era built the blueprint for today's modern explosion of sports cards.

Serial numbered cards, redemptions for draft pick positions, cards with literal diamonds in them, and even cards with pieces of cleats inserted into them. These are all regular parts of sports card collecting now, and its helping to push the industry to incredible height.

The hobby is not only seeing a nationwide upswing, the Ark-La-Tex has a massive sports card community. Which will be on display once again with this week's Shreveport Card Show.

Even though sports cards are big business, there's still an element for the kids. Brands like Topps still offer an affordable entry point for young collectors. They can get rookie cards of their favorite players, and cards of all time legends at the same time. The Shreveport Card Show Summer Show is a great place to bring the family out to start a young collector's journey.

Now how about this offer...if you wear your favorite sports jersey to the show, you can get in free!
