Well I've seen some ideas thrown about for poison/disease card decks, that those are cool too, but within the Golarion setting I was wondering if Paizo could release:
- Country/Location Cards: with info on their sizes, capital, ruler, alignment. This would help make learning about Golarion easier. I've had players who had difficulty getting into lore cause reading just isn't what they're looking for in games. But if we condensed information into bite sized cards, they could get into it easier. There's 28 nations of so in Avistan alone, not counting the lost kingdoms, which there'll be a player companion for soon. There's also the 3 layers of the Darklands, the planes and other planets to consider for possible locations.
- Deity Cards: alignment, favored weapon/colour/animal, even obedience if there's space, maybe at the back perhaps. Not everyone plays divine classes or memorized the deity list. It might help, especially for newer players on knowing who the deities are since they usually play a big part in many campaigns. Most of the Pathfinder Accessory Card Decks come with 52 cards, the trouble of course is picking which of the deities make it into this deck.
- Character Creation Cards: now this is mostly geared towards newer players, but one of the more time-consuming things for new players is creating a new character, usually due to the sheer amount of choices. So a few cards acting as an outline to the steps required to create a Pathfinder Characters, so race, class, feats, traits. 7 cards dedicated to the 7 core races. Cards depicting different classes and what they're good at. I'm not too sure what else this deck can have that wouldn't copy from the Rules Reference Deck.
- Races Deck: Pathfinder has a good number of races (around 80 last I counted, not counting sub-races). A Race deck could be useful for GMs to quickly make up NPCs, or for experienced players to have a little fun by drawing a random race out of the deck and forming a character around the race they drew.

Here is what I would love to see in card form to make things easier (though I don't know how realistic it is):
Summons: Instead of having to pull out the bestiary, and write out a stat block on a notecard or something every time a monster is summoned, you can just hand them the card for the summon (or the whole deck beforehand and let them find it), and everything they need will be right there!
Spells: A number of cards with the rules for each of the spells on them so that they can be kept with spellcasters so that they will have easy and quick access to them.
Both of these would be a bit tricky, as there are a number of each (especially spells), and they would likely have to be split into separate decks, but they could be very handy. I especially want a deck of summons, because it almost always causes the games to come to a halt any time one of those is cast. We have a token set for summons, why not cards?
