Since 2004 Herald Sun has released AFL trading cards series every year until 2012—total 9 AFL Card series.  The release of Herald Sun AFL Trading cards was to boost the newspapers sales. By purchasing the Newpaper, collectors were able to purchase the pack at fixed pack price.

 

These cards are slightly smaller than regular size. Card Size: about 5.7 cm x 8.2 cm.  Normally, collectors purchase 1 pack each day during the promotion period and continue 15-18 days to finalize the full collection.

 

All Herald Sun AFL Trading cards from 2004 to 2012 were manufactured by Select Australia. HERALD SUN AFL TRADING CARDS has become a stand alone trading cards series that provides another choice for AFL card collectors.
