If you’re not familiar as to what ATCs are, they are basically Artistic Trading Cards. As their name indicates, ATCs are collectibles, a brilliant idea born of the older sports-themed trading cards.
Here are the common rules for modern Artist Trading Cards:-
1) the dimensions of the ATC must be2.5"x3.5", or 64x89mm.
2) an ATC mustn't be sold, only exchanged, as the whole essence of these tiny works of art is about artists meeting (by correspondence or online) and exchanging their works, thus meeting many artists and getting exposed to manypersonal styles.
3) on the back of each ATC the artist includes part or all of the following information: name, date, contact information, signature and number (1/8,2/8...) if it's part of an edition. By definition ATCs are made in limited numbers, often no more than one of a kind. Unique ATCs are called originals; sets of identical ATCs are called editions and are numbered; sets of ATCs that are based on one theme but that are different are called series.
