trading card

Collectible game piece

A trading card is a small printed card, typically featuring images and statistics of athletes, fictional characters, or collectibles, designed to be bought, collected, and exchanged.

Originally distributed with products like tobacco and bubble gum, trading cards now span sports, games, and entertainment franchises.

Some cards gain significant value based on rarity or the fame of their subject: His rookie card sold for thousands.
