A trading card (or collectible card) is a small card which is intended for trading and collecting. Trading cards are traditionally associated with sports; baseball cards are especially well-known. Cards dealing with other subjects are often considered a separate category from sports cards, known as editorial trading cards or simply non-sports trading cards. These often feature cartoons, comic book characters, or television series.

As with playing cards, which they generally resemble, trading cards may sometimes be used to play various games. In the 1990s, cards designed specifically for playing games became popular enough to develop into a distinct category of collectible card games. These tend to use either fantasy subjects or sports as the basis for gameplay.

The development of the Internet has brought the development of various online communities through which members could trade cards with each other. One of the earliest of these was Old Baseball Cards, a group originally organized on Prodigy.
