What is a "trading card"?

A trading card is a small, rectangular card that typically features a picture or artwork of a character, creature, or item, along with specific information, such as stats, abilities, or rules for gameplay. These cards are often used in collectible card games (CCGs) or trading card games (TCGs), where players use them to build decks and compete against each other. Players can trade cards with others to collect rare or powerful cards, and the value of some cards may increase based on their rarity or strength. A popular example of a trading card game includes Pokémon.
