trade cards
Exchange collectible items
Trade cards are small printed cards, typically illustrated, that businesses distributed as advertisements from the 17th through early 20th centuries.
Before mass media, merchants handed these out to promote their goods and services.
Collectors now prize Victorian-era trade cards for their colorful chromolithography.
The term sometimes overlaps with trading cards, though trade cards were promotional rather than collectible by design.
