Do you love fantasy, science fiction, and horror art, but can’t afford (or don’t have the space for) prints or originals? Maybe you have a passion for collecting, but sports card sets just aren’t your thing.

Then perhaps the all-but-unknown area of fantasy art cards is for you. There are over 200 different card sets, with such famous names as Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo; and even one dedicated to the grandfather of fantasy art, Maxfield Parrish.

Because so few people are aware they even exist, fantasy art cards are an inexpensive hobby to start, or even complete, a collection.

This guide will give you the ins-and-outs of fantasy art card collection, from how to get started, to how and where to find the best deals, and closing with a comprehensive and complete list of all the available sets from the two major publishers of these cards.

So get your D-ring binders, 9-pocket pages, and top loaders with penny sleeves, and let’s get started!
