Belta Cards is a father and son team who’s journey started with Panini cards in the early 1980’s - hunting Maradona & Gazza.
After 50 years of collecting we are now your trusted destination for vintage sports cards — specialising in rare football cards, cricket cards, and other historic collectibles from the late 19th century through the golden mid‑20th century. Whether you’re hunting for a pre‑WWI tobacco issue, a scarce European release, or a post‑war classic, our carefully curated collection offers authenticity, provenance, and passion in equal measure.
We pride ourselves on quality over quantity. Every card listed on beltacards.com is researched for historical context, graded for condition, and described in detail so you can buy with confidence. Many of our cards come from iconic sets like Cigarette & Trade issues, early international football series, and limited‑run cricket editions — the kind of pieces that add both value and prestige to your collection.
As collectors ourselves, we know the thrill of discovering a rare gem and the importance of transparency. That’s why we provide clear images, honest grading, and background stories when available. From rookies of football legends to cards immortalising cricket greats, our inventory is a celebration of sporting heritage.
