Virtual and physical card in Google wallet
They’re the same, you can delete one. However, if you lose the physical one and need to cancel it, then make sure the virtual one isnt the same card as the physical one or they’ll both be canceled More on reddit.com

What are virtual cards through Google Pay?
Virtual cards through Google Pay allow you to create and pay with a virtual card when you shop online with Chrome or in Android apps. The virtual cards you create using Google Pay are unique to each specific store, meaning each virtual card will only work at one store. For example, if you create and use a virtual card at Target, that virtual card will not work if you try to use it at another store. Virtual cards help protect your credit card account online by disguising your actual card number at checkout.
