ATC or ACEO..do we call them both?

[jmkmini]

As I was filling out the back of my card, I stopped because I wasn't sure what I should call it. Some people put ACEO on the back some don't put anything about it, and others print Artist Trading Card. I think the Artist Trading Card (ATC) is more widely known. This is for a person who doesn't know anything about either. What do most people call it on their card? Thanks for any input. Judy K:x

ACEO if sold. ATC if traded. But I do use both at times. My collection includes both, bought work, and traded work. If I go to buy supplies at a rubber stamp shop or want to read up on some techniques in magazines, I have to look for ATC, as ACEO is not being used in general, although I have heard it used at times. There was a tv show showing someone who 'sold ATCs' on ebay. Never once was it mentioned as ACEO. It gets confusing. Sorry I'm not of much help. ~Jillian

I use both, like Jillian, I have both in my collection also. I think it is fine to use both, they are great key words too. Melinda

Use both - the card might well be traded at some time in the future.

They are ACEO's NOT ATC's.... A-artist T-trading C-card If you are selling them then call them by their proper name....ACEO If you are trading them only...then call them ATC. ATCers are offended by this...and justly so. We are not here to trade. Well...maybe a trade happens here and there. But...we are mostly hoping to get $ for them. Harriet

LOL!

I know ATCers are offended by this but Like all collectables Trading Cards are commonly sold.

In my titles I put ATC ACEO just to catch people searching for either, but in the desciption I make clear it is an ACEO card.
