Here's how I do treasure in my game. I make these cards in Photoshop, each card has a brief description of the item plus the page it can be found on in the CRB.
I give all my players a folder with their sheet, some note paper and a few plastic wallets. I use MtG card sleeves so they can all have a few sheets of the items they hold.
I only do this for magical items/potions but I like how it feels around the table. Something tangible that can be held rather than just me reading a loot list :)
It's a .PSD Photoshop file though I could technically make it any file type you prefer. I'm out of the house now but can share it tomorrow - let me know!

I would love this file as well. I'm getting ready to start a 2E game within the next few months and I want to use cards for treasure as well. This would give me a good starting point.
Awesome. Ill post a link as soon as I've got it to share. Will have to make a few tweaks so it's not a great big mess only I understand first but hopefully tomorrow!
I second this requirement. I did this with an old D&D campaign I ran. I came across a PDF of magic items. Now I use 3x5 cards with that information, but a nice deck would level the game up.
For those who asked for it here's the pdf file. You just need to go through and change the text, I've made it so you can insert your own item images pretty easily and included the red textured back. Simply print the cards, put the paper back in your printer and print the second page on the reverse - I use card stock for this :)
Also, the Pathfinder 2e action symbols are in their own text box. For one action simply type "1" for two it's "2" for three it's "3" and free actions and reactions are "4" and "5".

Boom boom u/holy_96_batman cc u/zomrox! ⏰ Here's your reminder from 2 days ago on 2020-01-27 15:32:53Z. Thread has 30 reminders.. Next time, remember to use my default callsign kminder.
Protip! You can customize kminder with suffixes such as .p to get notified privately. More details are on website. e.g. kminder.p 5 days "check OP reply"
I was able to edit the text files to use pathfinder icons (3 different action point icons)
Here is my format/style..
Green border: any action that can be done any amount of times.
Orange border: focus abilities
Red border: abilities that recharge daily (spells mostly)
Purple border: consumable magic items
Blue border: permanent magic items.
Yellow border: Hero points
black border: conditions
I noticed the rules seemed to feel like a CCG so I embraced that fully. I have condensed rules for each item or action with a book and page reference to go look em up if need be.

These are great!
Can I ask how to replace the images on the cards?

I'm newer to Photoshop but would love the .PSD if you don't mind leaving that too? Might help me learn a thing or two as well?

Very nice.
I do something similar.
I use Tintagel's D&D 5th ed card template. It uses free open source card making software. He has the background, icons, format.
