Offering Artist Trading Cards!
Now announcing the launch of an Artist Trading Card (ATC / ACEO) eBay store! You can now collect original, one-of-a-kind miniature works directly through eBay, with new cards added regularly.
In addition, a new direct trading program will be launched—because trading is at the heart of what Artist Trading Cards are all about. If you’re an artist and would like to propose a trade, you can now reach out through the contact page on this website to request an exchange.
What Are Artist Trading Cards And Why Explore Them?
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are small, original works of art that measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches—the same size as traditional sports trading cards. They are:
Original, handmade artworks
Created in any medium or style
Meant to be traded and collected
Affordable and accessible
When sold rather than traded, they are often referred to as ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals). Whether traded or collected, each card is a complete, self-contained artwork in miniature form. Despite their small size, ATCs are not sketches or studies—they are finished pieces that carry the same conceptual and material attention as larger works.
The format offers a focused, intimate space to experiment and explore. Working at this scale encourages risk-taking and play. The limited dimensions demand intentional composition while allowing for unexpected material interactions. Each card becomes a concentrated field for exploration—where drawing, collage, paint, and other media intersect. In many ways, these cards function as both finished artworks and creative laboratories.
Ebay Store
In partnering with eBay, there’s an opportunity to uniquely offer original, one-of-a-kind ATCs / ACEOs, with new cards added regularly, as a rotating selection of mixed media works at affordable entry points for collectors with secure purchasing through eBay. Be sure to check back regularly to find the perfect piece for your collection!
