What Are Collectible, Business and Game Playing Cards?

There are lots of trading or collectible card games which kids or adults adopt as a hobby. Among the wide range of collectible trading cards are business, playing, theme based or game playing cards. Credit cards also come in this catagory as people tend to carry many cards in their wallet.

What is a "Collectible card"?

Wikipedia defines it:

'A trading card (or collectible card) is a small card, usually made out of cardboard or thick paper, which usually contains an image of a certain person (fictional or real) and a short description of the picture, along with other text (statistics, attacks, or trivia).

Trading cards are traditionally associated with sports; baseball cards are especially well-known.[1] Cards dealing with other subjects are often considered a separate category from sports cards, known as non-sports trading cards. These often feature cartoons, comic book characters, television series, or movie stills.

As with playing cards, which they generally resemble, trading cards are often used to play various games.[1] In the 1990s, cards designed specifically for playing games became popular enough to develop into a distinct category of collectible card games.'

'Collectible card games' also called trading card games (TCGs) or customizable card games (CCGs), are played using specially designed sets of cards. While trading cards have been around for longer, CCGs combine the appeal of collecting with strategic gameplay.

In addition to actual physical card games, collectible card games have also been developed that are played over the Internet. Instead of receiving physical cards, a player establishes a "virtual" collection that exists only as a set of data stored on a server. Such cards can be purchased (using real money) or traded within this environment. Titles include online versions of games that originated as physical CCGs (e.g., Magic: The Gathering Online), as well as games that exist solely online.

The first collectible card game was The Base Ball Card Game produced by The Allegheny Card Co. and registered on April 5, 1904'

My son collects the 'Pokemon' series of trading cards, which he trades with his friends. And my husband is also a 'card collector', a serious credit card collector!
But as I have noticed that keeping many credit cards is a result of owing more credits and you sometimes don't realize how much money you are going to pay in future. Last week I talked to hime and asked him to read some Credit card articles to learn more about credit card facts. I am happy to say that now he is planning to keep the credit cards according to his needs.
