PotD: Trading cards or Playing cards?

[Daddy]

Playing card games with friends is a great way to spend time with friends.    There are many different types of games out there. Some rely on Playing cards while others use a collectible set of trading cards.  What do you prefer to play?

Why?

Neither, but if I had to choose, trading cards. I love looking at the beautiful art that some cards have. caterpie;

I prefer regular playing cards.  There are many more games than can be played with a single deck of cards.   You can always find a bunch of people to play with, and you only need to buy the cards once to enjoy them. You don't have to keep buying new packs.

Well, if I didn't have to pay for either, then I'd choose trading cards. They are a hell of a lot more interesting than a somewhat repetitive card game. They do eat a hole in your wallet if you go overboard, though...

i like trading card they r fun but playing cards r fun too. trading cards have"rare" cards and stuff while playing cards are just the same. though i do i this exclusive pack which has a red motor bike, a yellow motor bike, a speed sign, and this yellow sign thing, rather than have the spades, clovers, hearts, and diamonds.

Playing cards are much better. Pokemans was too hard.

Current "Poll of the Day" sucks.

Trading cards are useless. You waste all your money on booster packs trying to find one card you want and chances are you will never get it.

Trading cards, they're worth more. I have full sets of all the Tops LoTR movie cards.  caterpie;

... You can win a ton of money playing poker.

I'd say I like playing cards more, even though I have collected thousands of baseball cards...
