Abstract
An overlay having artwork printed thereon in a strategic location such that when placed over the front face of a card changes the look and appearance of the original artwork on the front face of the card. In some embodiments, the overlay changes the original text printed on the card (1) to provide a translation of that text into any desired language, or (2) to provide updated rule changes from the rules originally printed on the card, or (3) to provide both a translation as well as updated rule changes, if desired. The overlay may be used with any type of card, but is preferably used with playing cards and trading cards, and is most preferably used with collectible trading cards.
