yeah but that does not mean that they trade for money, or they would be called money exchange cards. Trade as in I swap you for that one. Or possibly even a good or service. Not nessescary monies involved

The cards are not part of World of Warcraft and thus are not covered by its EULA or TOC.
Please tell me your are a troll and are not this dumb.
Also, you are making a false distinction between money and "goods or services". Moneys merely acts as a proxy for goods and services in transactions so that there does not have to be a "coincidence of wants". Would selling your WoW account for
30,000 pounds of bananas
be any less wrong than selling your account for $75?
Edit: Youtube is terrible.

Here's a little breakdown for ya:
Selling the code for in-game gold = allowed
Selling the code for real-world money = forbidden
Selling the card for in-game gold = forbidden
Selling the card for real-world money = allowed
Edited for clarity: This applies to the TCG cards, specifically. It might be a different answer for other cards, etc.

I think it should be said that there's nothing against trading your in-game gold for a real life object. You just do so at your own risk.

Actually, Blizzard forbids it.
Blizzard does not recognize any virtual property transfers executed outside of the Game or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything related to the Game. Accordingly, you may not sell items for "real" money or otherwise exchange items for value outside of the Game.
Per Section 8 of the
Terms of Use
.
If did you happen to sell virtual item for real-world money (or, if you sold a real-world item for in-game gold) and Blizzard found out, you would be likely suspended or banned for exploitation of the World of Warcraft economy.
