Your trading cards are collectible as far as I am concerned. They are beautiful! and they are the reason I gave your series a look and why I used a gift card recently to buy both of your books! I think you are right about trading cards meaning more if they aren't so easily obtained and a nice treat for you loyal fans who will treasure them. <br />When it comes to general swag, I think bookmarks are the way to go. You can fit all your book covers onto one and get more bang for your buck. and yes they are expensive (I buy swag for my blog often for giving out at cons and in prize give aways). Book lovers who are always looking for new authors/books really do like visual reminders and covers do sell books.
