Hi, I'm the writer behind nonsportsphd. I've been collecting trading cards for decades, and over time my interests have really focused on the non-sports area of the hobby. I enjoy tracking down the obscure releases that might predate the generally accepted "first" card of a person, character, or set. This site is where those rabbit holes get written up properly: sourced, dated as accurately as I can manage, and rated on the stuff that actually matters to me (and hopefully other collectors).
