What I like most about trading cards is that they appeal to all ages. It's something a kid can enjoy when they pull their favorite football hero's card just as much as the long-time fan who pulls a legend from his youth and thinks back to that great
experience in the stadium thirty years ago. The cards should also reflect that huge target audience and offer something for everyone.
It's no secret that kids like colorful, flashy things, so how about a cartoonish looking set with high quality drawings of the players in a cartoon look or those cards you have to move slightly to see different images that look like a small animation?
For the older generation a "legends" series, high quality black and white pictures with some facts about the legend's best games or accomplishments as a player.
For the more casual fans you can have cards that feature popular musicians and actors and their favorite teams, maybe throw in some autographs so the people who watch like one game per season but really like John Cena have a reason to buy the cards as well.
Talking about autographs, for the real hardcore collectors there's nothing better than pulling an autograph or a jersey piece, even better if it's a nice patch. Something that makes you feel like you got a piece of the game in your hands.
