I was visiting www.rahenna.com as owner Rahenna recently donated some cards (recently, like this morning, way too much to process and tell you about in half an hour), and I was reminded again that there are a completely different kind of trading card...
Digital trading cards. You collect them, you trade them, but they are actually not real cards. For example, this one: http://devils-rain.net/platinum/
Let me just say here and now that ACO is for real trading cards, and by real, I mean actually existing trading cards. Touchable, even. :)
I'm kinda intrigued, though. At first I thought, eh, this is silly, but consider... you get all the fun of trading cards, without the pain of having to store them. What low overhead!

Online TCGs
Yes, online TCG's are actually quite amusing. You collect the cards mostly as prizes for the games, but can also get them from exchanging 'item tokens' or trading with other members. Different TCGs have different themes... there are manga-only, artist-based, series-based, etc, so depending on what you're interested in you can collect "cards" of your favorite characters. They can be quite fun, but updating the cards can get confusing when you have tons of them ^^;;
I currently play only one, a CLAMP-based TCG name Olympia. If anyone has the spare time, they might enjoy them ^_^

I was really interested in one of them (the one I linked to), and then everything else seemed derivative.
I'm worried I might get obsessed with them, and go mildly crazy. :)

They can become rather addictive... the one I mainly play is called Olympia. I gathered over 800 of these cards in like 6 months... it's insane. My "cards" are here:
