Om avsnittet
In the early 1990s millions of people around North America were swept up in an unprecedented sports trading card boom.
As prices for rare baseball and hockey cards soared, the hobby which was once just for kids was suddenly being looked at as an alternative to investing in stocks.

On this episode of History of the 90s, host Kathy Kenzora looks at the reasons for the boom and why it eventually went bust.
