So, did you guys know that there is such a thing as Big Bang Theory trading cards? Because I had no clue. I am a very frequent visitor of Books-a-Million, which is a chain that sells a lot of Big Bang Theory merchandise, and I have never come across this. I actually love the idea of trading cards for a non-animated show and I would really love to own these!
While doing my research, I discovered that the cards are categorized by the season. It looks like some of them are even autographed, which is a huge plus! Actually there are some confirmed autographs. This list includes: Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Alice Amter, Brian George, Kevin Sussman, Laurie Metcalf, John Ross Bowie, and Courtney Henggeler. Mind you, this is the batch for seasons one and two.
