Although Australia has a long history of producing a variety of swap cards or trade cards dated back to 100 years ago, it was in the early 1990s that the modern trading cards market had flourished.

At that time, four major local trading cards company existed. SELECT AUSTRALIA only focus on the AFL trading cards; DYNAMIC MARKETING had the exclusive NRL cards licences on top of a number of highly successful entertainment trading cards such as Disney classics, Jurassic park and Phantom card collection;  at the same time, FUTERA, an Australia trading card company established in late 1989, had experienced a few different sport codes such as Cricket, Australia Baseball, Australia Basketball, Hot Surf, Rugby Union and Grand Prix; TEMPO, a new company established in 1995, produced entertainment trading cards like Barbie, Simpsons Down Under, Peter Rabbits to name a few. Unfortunately,  The collectors market had experienced a sharp downturn in the mid 1990s and as the result, apart from Select Australia, Dynamic Marketing, Futera and Tempo had all closed down in 1997.

Despite their short life span, they had left us an array of sports cards and non sports cards that made the landscape of Australia's trading cards much more colourful and fascinating than it otherwise wouldn't have been. In the following 20 years, many collectors have been still collecting these sports and non-sports trading cards series either for finishing the unfinished or for collecting part of the Australia's trading card history. 

During the past 20 years, after collecting the trading cards for a few years, many card collectors are facing similar questions: "What is the value of my collection now?”,  “ I am a new collector, in front of so many different cards series, which series I should collect?”, " I have collected those cards for a while and want to sell some unwanted items, what is the price range I can expect?". we feel that it is necessary to release a PRICE GUIDE CATALOGUE to answer these questions, analyze those trading cards releases, offer choices to collectors and most importantly, deliver the goods when needed.
