2018 Irish Cul Heroes Camogie and Gaelic Football Cards


While in Ireland a few months ago, I picked up some packs of these 2018 Irish Cul Heroes Camogie and Gaelic Football cards.  I had never heard of either sport so it was fun to learn about them and watch a few matches on YouTube.  If you click on the links above you can see some examples for yourself.  These cards are produced by Cul Heroes Ltd and come 7 cards per pack with a mix of both Camogie and Gaelic Football players.  Each pack consists of 1 foil card and 6 base cards with 603 total cards in the set.  Needless to say, I don't recognize anyone of the stars, but the cards are interesting and appear to be marketed toward kids.  The fronts have a matte/glossy mixed finish which gives it pretty neat texture.  It looks like kids could engage in some sort of game with the cards.  The can has the team logo and name.  Overall the cards are very vivid with a lot of geometric patterns.

Along the way, I also picked up the trading card folder which included 2 free packs and collectors tin with 50 cards, three of which are the short-printed foil cards.



There you have it.  Anyone else ever seen these types of cards?

  1. Never heard of either of these sports, nor seen these cards before. That being said... any trading cards with bright pink get a thumbs up in my book.

    1. For sure! I have never even seen Irish Sports Cards before. Very bright and busy graphics, but extremely neat and fun!

  2. Bright, fun and exotic is always a good combo in my book.
