Many SG-1000 games were released in card format.
It's quite strange because SG-1000 and SG-1000-II didn't feature a card port by default and users
had to buy a Card Catcher (Cartridge -> Card converter).
That was one of the highlight feature of the Mark 3 when first released (because there was only
a few real Mark3/SMS games, and they were all card games.) to have both cartridge and cards
ports.

I'm not sure if it's cheaper or not, but yes, those cards are selling nice to me so it's somewhat
a selling point.
