I will probably skip these, no player i encountered liked to have more than half a dozen cards of mundane Equipment flying around and never bothered to use them more than one or two evenings.
These will probably be useful for beginners though and for remembering the damage reduction of heavier armors.
You probably need more than one of these to equip everybody.

Is this an indication the card line is expanding? Can we expect to see spell cards, treasure/magic item cards, etc. over time? I really don't see the need for a card set for mundane equipment unless there is some as yet unforeseen product that will make use of them, like a full-sized "slot" card or something for players to place their gear as it applies to their character or something. IMO, players already know what their gear, especially basic/mundane does and don't need cards to remind them.
However, I can see it being a big help to have spell cards that can be used to track daily castings or for GMs to use as ready reference instead of having to check the full books every time especially if they are traveling for conventions.
Same could be said for treasure/magic item cards. How often do you issue items not knowing exactly what they do or all the stat info? Then the player has to look it up, slowing down the game. Plus having the card on the table would remind players of an item they have, but is not part of their individual inventory.

I totally agree with that. Basic Equipement is not really necessary to have as a card. We are an experienced group of players and we know most of the basic equipment items we use. No need to have a card here. I am not shure if it will help me when i do GM... i have to overthing that but maybe i will skip this.

I absolutely agree with that. There is definetely a need on spell cards. and special magical items. That would be a great help as a player and as a gm also. I know most spells but i often miss some small important details. And when i create an NPC i can take the cards and have everything ready.

Even commonly used alchemical or magical consumable items would be awesome. I currently make my own, but having an officially licensed version with actual art would be better.

Maybe we need a "crafter's deck" as well. :-)
I absolutely AGREE!!!
I have a character (half-orc/aasamir) with a 'blacksmith/weaponsmith background.He has specialized in a 'combo' type weapon.
He puts hammers and axes on either side of a half'.
For the 'Warhammer/Battleaxe' weapon (damage= d8S or d8B, he may extend the haft to make it a 'hand-and-a-half' (one OR two handed) or two handed (d10 for 2hS or 2hB).
For the 'Maul/Greataxe' weapon, he may extend the haft (already a 2h) to make it a polearm.
