A communication network based system for distributing, collecting, playing, and trading digital trading cards and other digital collectibles is disclosed. The system preferably includes the digital trading cards, a server (10) and related databases (30, 40, 50, 60, 65)), user computers, and user software for accessing the digital trading cards. In the preferred embodiment, the digital trading cards are issued in limited editions and the digital trading cards are uniquely associated with a user that has obtained the cards. The digital trading cards may then only be accessed by the user. The digital trading cards include multiple faces. Preferably, a first front of the cards includes an artwork (e.g., a photo, an illustration, or an enhanced photo composition) and a second front includes an audio/visual screen. The digital trading cards also preferably have multiple backs which may include, for example, information on a particular person or topic as well as games. Moreover, the cards can access the server to download and display current information in real-time. Advantageously, one of the faces of the limited edition cards may also display the unique serial number for the card. Users may also connect to the server to utilize the cards in on-line games. |
