mia's art cupboard - ATCs

Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature works of art measuring 2.5″ by 3.5″ — the same as a standard hockey or baseball card. They must be traded, not sold, in order to be considered “ATCs”. (Cards which are sold are called “Art Cards, Editions and Originals” or ACEOs.)
