Any chance that there may be an item pack in the future, or possibly booster packs, that would contain non-magical adventuring gear? Such cards could include backpacks, lanterns, thieves' tools, spell component pouches, non-magical clothing, fine jewelry and/or gems, and other miscellaneous knick knacks.
Maybe the demand is not out there, but I would be thrilled to have all the inventories of my characters in decks of cards! I'd buy a ton! Honest! :)

We've had many discussions about the potential direction of this product line with nothing firmly set in stone past Item Pack 5. Personally, I agree with you in thinking this would be a good idea; however it'll take some time and continued success of the current set (soon to be sets!) before any decisions are made about straying from the present model.
So, yeah, I'm basically saying: buy more of Item Pack 1 (and preorder Item Pack 2 boosters!) and maybe the success of those sets will allow us to explore alternative options along the lines you describe. :)
I'd also encourage everyone to show these to your FLGS if they haven't seen 'em yet. They're one of the best GM tools I've seen in nearly twenty years of gaming! Let's make sure our FLGS friends are aware of their existance too. ;)

You should work in advertising or marketing ;)
I think the mundane equipment cards are a fine idea, but perhaps they could be made smaller than the magic item cards in order to provide more of them in a set and to differentiate them from the magic items more readily.

It is definately something I have considered. Fortunately, most of the mundane equipment is also a magic item of some sort, so they would serve a dual purpose. I am sure this is something we will consider going into the future.
As an aside, I appreciate any and all feedback on this product. So if you have ideas, praise, complaints, or just simple musings, I am all ears.
