What are ACEO Cards?

ACEO cards (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) are miniature, collectible works of art, always measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches (the size of a playing card) and created by artists in any medium, including paintings, drawings, or prints. They are highly collectible, can be traded, and are sold as unique originals or limited-edition prints, often displayed in trading card sleeves or small frames.  

Key Characteristics:

• Size: The defining feature is their exact size: 2.5" x 3.5" (64mm x 89mm). 
  
• Origin: A modern evolution of Artist Trading Cards (ATCs), ACEOs are generally bought and sold, while ATCs are typically traded. 
  
• Mediums: Artists use various materials, such as watercolor, oils, acrylics, ink, pencil, collage, or digital art. 
  
• Types: They can be Originals (unique pieces) or Editions (limited prints of a larger work). 
  
• Collectibility: People collect them by artist, subject, or theme, displaying them in sleeves or small frames like baseball cards. 
  
  How They're Used:

• Collecting & Trading: They're popular for building collections without needing large wall spaces. 
• Display: Kept in card sleeves, binders, or framed individually or in grids. 
• Gifting: They offer affordable ways to own original art or give meaningful, tiny masterpieces.
