" in parentheses to show that they belong to the category of the products. "and most of other cards" - "and most other cards" (category) You don't use a hyphen with words that end in -ly -- an odd rule, since otherwise you would hyphenate that phrase to make it adjectival. Grammatically, the phrase you're questioning is fine, but I'm not sure what they are protected from?

"and alike" is "and the like" or simply "etc."

You may want to put the "tickets, stamps, etc." in parentheses to show that they belong to the category of the products.

"and most of other cards" - "and most other cards"

(category)

If you have a hologram or something similar on your card, it is protected because nobody can forge/falsify it. Perhaps I should use some other word, not protected.
