Info
on SI for Kids Cards: Sports Illustrated for Kids (SIFK) trading cards have
been produced since January of 1989.Sports Illustrated began producing a “kids” version of its magazine at
that time which are still produced and flourishing today. SIFK cards have been
inserted into each issue every month since that inaugural issue. They ‘re
printed on a light cardboard stock paper w/ perforated edges for separation purposes (IT IS IMPORTANT
TO NOTE THAT GRADING COMPANIES WILL NOT GRADE THESE CARDS UNLESS THE PERFORATED
EDGES ARE PRESENT- OTHERWISE THE CARD IS CONSIDERED "CUT"). They are
strictly limited to a print run in the amount of issues published by the
magazine that month. Thus rendering them
significantly less produced collectibles than their traditional trading card
counterparts manufactured in much larger quantities. There are nine cards per sheet w/ a select few issues containing an
add'l four or "bonus" nine card insert sheet included. Since SI for Kids
focuses on ALL sports, some of the less “mainstream” sport athletes are
featured on these cards before any other trading cards! Some of the standout stars which
are depicted on these cards have no other trading cards of them at all-
licensed or otherwise. Many hobbyists in the industry see continued value for
these cards in the future, especially since the 1996 Tiger Woods SIFK card put
the brand on the map! SI for Kids cards are becoming increasingly more difficult
to find out in the marketplace than ever before.
