Transcript Artist Trading Cards

ATCs and ACEOs
 Artist
trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature
works of art about the same size as modern
baseball cards,or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches small
enough to fit inside standard card-collector
pockets, sleeves or sheets.
 Cards are produced in various media,
including dry media (pencils, pens, markers,
etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints,
etc.), paper media (in the form of collage,
papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even
metals or cloth.
 The cards are usually traded or exchanged.
 When
sold, ATCs are usually referred to as
art card editions and originals (ACEOs).
 An offshoot of artist trading cards are art
card editions and originals (ACEOs), which
originated when some artists began to create
cards to sell, in addition to trading among
themselves. Many ACEOs are sold on internet
auction sites, such as eBay.
