Arvokorttien

Arvokorttien, also known as high-value cards, are a type of collectible card found in Finnish magazines, with the most notable being the ones published by Sanoma, specifically Sanoma Pro and Sanoma Digital. These cards are given away within select issues of several magazines, including Liikunta-lehti, Pelaaja, and Press F1, among others. Each card features a unique image, character, or other asset that is licensed from various franchises, ranging from sports to video games.

The first Arvo-kortti, as they are commonly known, was introduced in 2008, with the goal of making magazine reading more engaging and exciting. They quickly gained popularity among Finnish children and adults alike, sparking a vibrant collecting culture. Over the years, Arvokorttien have become an integral part of Finnish popular culture, with dedicated websites, communities, and collector's guides showcasing them. Ownership of specific cards can vary in value, with some particularly rare cards selling for significant sums.

Arvokorttien are usually printed on high-quality cardboard and have a unique number or ID, making them ideal for collectors to keep track of their collection. Each card is complete with a magazine issue number, date, and other relevant information. While some cards are generic, featuring common characters or images, others are extremely rare and highly sought after, featuring characters or scenes from iconic franchises. Magazines offer a new selection of cards within their pages each month.
