For me it comes down to common sense on what a card is. If it is made of card stock, but has to be cut by the owner (strip cards) then it is a card the majority of the time. If it is made of regular paper but is cut from the factory (older European sticker cards) then it is a card the majority of them time. If it is made of regular paper and has to be cut by the owner to look like a card (Rekord "cards") then it is a photo cut out. Just because something is a photo and was meant to be collected does not make it a card. If it says to cut the photo out and save it then it is a collectible photo, not a card. To be a card in my book I think it either needs to be made of card stock or factory cut (even if the factory cut is just a perforated cut) but magazine or newspaper cut outs are not cards, even if they were meant to be cut out.
