We've got Artist Trading Cards. Joumana Medlej, who wrote a primer on ATCs, says:
"As their name indicates, ATC are collectibles, a brilliant idea born of the older sports-themed trading cards. The one rule that makes an ATC derives from their origins: the dimensions of the ATC must be 2.5" x 3.5", or 64 x 89 mm."
You can use any media with ATCS, including beads, clay, and glass!
An important aspect of ATCs --
They are meant to be traded, not sold. Below the images, you can find links with info about making and trading them.
