You can get cards to compare themselves by adding a few
more "magic methods". Then you can do stuff like

if card1 < card2:
    # ....
elif card2 > card1:
    # ....
else:....

The methods you need to create are
__gt__(), __lt__(), __eq__(), __le__(), __ge__()

for

>,<,==,<=,>=

operations.

BTW, In your code you have a comparison using = instead of ==.
That will fail.

HTH,
