A Cue Card Actors <i> Don’t </i> Have to Read

Billiards and pool players will be featured on a new set of trading cards, joining the ranks of such sports as baseball, football and hockey, and television cartoons such as G.I. Joe.

Encino-based World Wide Collectibles, a unit of Integrated Arts Services Inc., said it signed an exclusive five-year contract with the Pro Billiards Tour to produce and distribute the trading cards.

“The cards will include a multinational group of players and will be printed in a number of languages reflecting the worldwide popularity of the sport,” it said in a statement.
