ABSTRACT:
A collectible trading card made of embossed metal, and a boxed set of such cards. The card advantageously combines two mediums, metal for appearance and durability, and cardboard which affords high quality printing. In particular, the card includes a generally rectangular metal substrate having front and rear sides, and a cardboard insert sheet adjacent the rear side. The metal substrate includes a central main portion, four edge marginal portions terminating in respective substrate edges, and four corner marginal portions. The marginal portions surround the central main portion, sharing respective boundaries therewith, and are rolled towards the substrate rear side and around such that the substrate edges contact the insert sheet so as to hold the insert sheet in position. The rolled marginal portions together define a continuous bead around the periphery of the card without any exposed sharp edges. A boxed set includes a plurality of such trading cards, received in a storage tin within which there are a lower card support member having a plurality of channels for receiving the lower edges of the trading cards, and a pair of side card support members, each also having corresponding pluralities of channels for receiving side edges of the trading cards.
