SF Cards

I was going through some stuff this morning and found these. How many remember these cards? Mitch B. had the Teutonic Knights card made while we worked at SFAS.

I can remember seeing the first card, or a form of it, way back in the mid '80s.

The Teutonic Knights card is kind of cute but women burnt? The Knights were bad but they were eventually anilhilated by the Poles at the battle of the Grunwald in 1410.

It is supposedly a Viking proverb. Michael Chricton also quoted it in one of his books, "Eaters of the Dead".

Cards like the first one were very popular in the mid 60s, too.
