Several of my posts got lost. I am recreating them, as @stpaultim suggested.
I converted my site over from Drupal 7, and I am working on a collection of info that is similar to a phone directory. I think the "card" content type would work well to hold each item in that, but my site doesn't have that content type. How do I get it?
The main advantage of the Cards content type in Backdrop CMS is that it can be used for hidden path content. This is content that is not available to users at the usual path. Content nodes are created to be used in blocks or views only.
There is a recipe that will add the Cards content type as it appears in core.

This recipe simply creates the content type and a view. Remember that once you install a recipe, the only way to get rid of the config is to delete it manually. In this case, the recipe is pretty simple so deleting it should not be too hard.
To configure it yourself, don't forget to check this box:
Here are the fields in the core version of Cards:
