How to Collect Sailor Moon Cards
Sailor Moon has become one of the most recognized names in Japanese anime, so Sailor Moon trading cards have been popular to collect. Sailor Moon fell off the map somewhat with more anime series coming westward, but that can only make the cards and other memorabilia even bigger collectors items.

Look for places where you can buy the cards. Online stores, auction sites, anime conventions and trading card shows may be among your best sources, but locating fan websites where fans may trade is even better.

Decide how to preserve your cards, as all trading cards can wear easily. There's pretty much two basic types of protective sleeves--individual ones or pages of sleeves kept in a notebook.

Determine how to store the cards. Individual sleeves may require boxes or drawers for safe storage, while the pages can be kept in a book. Hanging them on the wall can also work - just don't damage the cards in doing so.

Tips & Warnings
At least one series of Sailor Moon cards were made for a role-playing game, much like Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh. If you find these cards, find others who have them so you can play the game together.
Comic book shops and trading card stores won't be the best places to look since Sailor Moon items went out of print in North America. The same holds true for chain stores that sell trading cards.
