Sked

A sked is a pocket-sized bifold or trifold schedule about the size of a baseball card printed for a sports team. Typically, a team logo or an image associated with the team (a player or the stadium or arena, for example) appears on the front, one or more sponsors are listed on the back. Inside is a listing of the season's home and away games.

Skeds are collected as sports memorabilia, trading heavily enough on Ebay to merit a category. Older schedules are like individual works of art, many featuring beautiful artwork, logos and pictures of many stars and hall of fame players. Often variations are available with different sponsors. Schedules can also be quite scarce. Most were put in a wallet and seldom survived past that season, quantities produced are a lot lower than Topps or Upper Deck baseball cards. With the mass quantities of cards, schedules allow the luxury of building collections by team or sponsors, rather than chasing so many cards produced today.
