A card has to be distributed to the public, it could also be distributed regionally. If it was never even distributed regionally there's no collectibility to it. You could simply take a photograph and call it a card.
Although most cards belong to sets, there are a few one card or one player sets, so it's possible to have a single card set.
Anything else we need to add to the definition? Should there be a size limitation? Most of us agree studio cabinets are cards. How about something larger?
