Examples
The card game Mystic Vale provides each player with starting deck of cards. The cards have transparent sleeves and the game is built around players upgrading these cards buy acquiring upgrades which are most transparent sheets that can be put inside a card's sleeve to upgrade the card.
In Gloomhaven, players that have unlocked the possibility of enchanting ability cards can spend money to do so. Mechanically, this is handled by players placing stickers on cards that represent the abilities. Interestingly, one player enchanting a card may do this for another since players in different groups that have the same class shared abilities cards.
