What do you like most about collecting them and trading them?

I love when people react in a positive way to my art. It's such a satisfying and fulfilling feeling not just because they like my work but because my work has made them happy. I am overjoyed when I create something that brings another person happiness. At the other end of the spectrum, I am always eager to see what other people create. What mediums they use, what their technique is, how they think, insight into their soul. Having a collection of ATCs from people with varied styles, themes and concepts is validation of my work because it tells me that my art fits into an expansive group of artists; people who enjoy and do not fear self-expression and discovery.
