Artist Trading Cards
 ATC
stands for Artist Trading Card. ACEO stands for Artist Card Editions and
Originals. The difference lies in whether the cards are traded or
sold. Nancy makes a variety of each and offers them periodically for trade
and sale at www.bid4bears.com
Artist trading cards were developed as an out-cropping of
older sports collectible cards. Each one is a miniature work of art designed and
created by a single person. A little bit of the soul of the creator is
included in each card. Cards can be made with a multitude of materials and
often include original artwork as well as photos of the bears that Nancy
creates.
As the popularity of the trading cards was established, so
were several rules that govern their creation and distribution.
-
ATC must be 2.5 X 3.5 inches in size. (68 X 89 mm) This
size is derived from other trading cards and is a standard in the industry.
-
ATC cards are traded, and should not be sold. ACEO cards
can be sold.
-
The back of the card should contain the contact
information for the artist including his/her name, contact info and the name
of the card itself. If it is a numbered edition it should also have the card
number on the back.
