How come bowling cards have yet to catch on?

[stargell1]

Sports cards such as baseball, football, hockey, basketball, wrestling, boxing, etc continue to skyrocket in value. Especially graded examples. A Pete Rose rookie PSA 8 is now selling for $15,000 - $20,000. I have been wondering lately why bowling cards seem to draw little interest. Bowling cards have been around for many decades, but you can purchase old or newer ones for peanuts compared to other sports.

Never knew there were even bowling cards. And not sure how popular card collecting is anymore. I'm sure it's best days are behind them, just like bowling. Many hobbies are dying.

Do kids even have hobbies anymore besides playing video games or snapchatting on their phone (sorry, the old crusty guy in me is showing his ugly face again)

Do bowling cards come with gum? Is it good gum?

Do bowling cards sound great on your bicycle when they flap against the spokes?

Well I learned something new today here. Never before did I hear of bowling trading cards.

My brother started collecting full sets of Topps baseball cards at age 5 and comics at age 8. He paid for college with the comics becoming a lawyer and his house with the baseball cards. Being 5 years older but not wiser, I read all my comics and abused all the cards I bought.

I've never heard of bowling cards. Going to have to search for them online just to see what they look like.
