German term or phrase: Sammelkarten
Aus einer Präsentation, in der eine Website für Kinder vorgestellt wird: **Aktuelle Informationen über Animes, Trickfilm-Serien, Videospiele, Kino, Sammelkarten, TV, Internet und Musik.**

Gemeint sind themenspezifische Karten oder Aufkleber, die man in ein dazugehöriges Heft kleben kann (z.B. von Panini). Gibt es ein vergleichbares Phänomen auch in GB/USA?? Danke.
