I am on the fence about trading cards. I do think under the right circumstances, they could be really cool but only if they don't go overboard. I believe it should be limited to greatest teams in league history, Ultimus and Ultimini champions, hall of famers AND memorable moments in both leagues history. By memorable moments I mean plays that won games, stuff that makes for the greatest stories. Those moments and teams deserved to be remembered in a medium like trading cards.
To give an example of what I am talking about, and not to toot my own horn that much, but the finale game for the Dallas Birddogs against the Kansas City Coyotes. It was a brutal game that determined whether or not the birddogs could make the playoffs. The Birddogs were down a touchdown late in the second half and it looked the game would end in disappointment then Raphael d’Alcott made the game changing interception which turned the tide of the game, allowed Dallas to rally and win the game.
It is moments like that I feel should be immortalized in a trading card format. I figure it similar to what the NFL did with the Top 100 players, plays and games lists that they did a while back. Make them feel special and they market themselves
