Abstract: A collectible card for use in a collectible card game includes indicia associated with the collectible card game; an EL panel including an EL area associated with a game play attribute; an IC; an input member; a power source; and a random sequence controller. A base adapted to receive a collectible card includes a hard connection point adapted to mate with a hard connection point of a collectible card; an IC; an input member; and a random sequence controller. A card holder includes an IC; and an input member, and is configured to retain a card therein such that a side of the card is visible from an exterior of the card holder. A playing surface includes a hard connection point adapted to mate with a hard connection point of a collectible card; an IC; an input member; a power source; and a random sequence controller.

Abstract: Footwear with at least one light source that is located on said footwear to be visible exteriorly thereof. The components for the light source include a power source for energizing the light source, a circuit for selectively electrically connecting said power source with the light source to illuminate the source, a pressure switch, which while depressed is “closed” and when not depressed is “open”, where the circuit is adapted to disconnect the power source from the light source a predetermined time after said pressure switch is “open”. The circuit is adapted to connect the power source to the light source when the switch is “closed”. Preferably, the light source is an electroluminescent lamp, which is combined with a graphic layer producing an animated EL panel.
