Anticipated growth is particularly notable in the North American region, attributed to the burgeoning popularity of sports and entertainment trading cards.

Notably, trading cards have entrenched themselves as a cherished pastime for sports enthusiasts. In North America, the trend is further propelled by the increasing engagement of middle-aged Americans, rekindling nostalgia and revisiting their childhood inclination for collecting trading cards. This revived ardor is projected to bolster North America's significance within the Sports Trading Card market, exemplifying how a timeless pastime can weave itself into contemporary market dynamics.
