It can be argued that a 'kind' of card is merely a particular grouping of the cards. Using this definition, there could be (omitting Jokers)...

Red/Black - 2

Face/Non-face - 2

Club/Diamond/Heart/Spade - 4

1s,2s,3s,...Ks,As - 13

There could be additional possible groupings...Male/Female/Neuter, odd/even, divisible by 3/4/etc., cards with a face value <6...

Then, we could combine some of these to create new groupings...

Red Face/Red Non-face/Black Face/Black Non-face - 4

Color+suit is redundant, since suit is a subset of color

Color+value (e.g. Black 1s, Red 1s,...) yields 26 categories

Suit+Face/Non-face (e.g. Heart Face cards) - 8

Face/Non-face + Value is redundant

Suit+value - 52

However, based on the vague definition of 'kinds of cards', there are too many possible solutions to solve this one.
