Maybe if you stare into the refractor effect for too long, you seen other colors...other universes.

You have the source for these as "general distribution" but these can be hard to find and I haven't seen anyone offer a set in years. I was wondering if these were actually test cards or otherwise unreleased, because back in the 90's, I knew of only one source for these (comic shop in New York somewhere). I figured somebody might've dumpster dove behind Topps again and rescued a quantity. Or. are they hard to find now because a lot of people didn't want them back then because they were oversized and threw them away?

Here's a prediction, you will get a smart phone at some point in the coming years as long as you are still active. You will have to get one because you will need it to function in this world.

Until 4 years ago I resisted, I had a flip cell and that was fine by me. Then I found my data was getting entered into all these networks that wanted to contact me, wanted text responses, wanted pictures, wanted scans, wanted codes. Most of it was junk, but I started missing or delaying some important stuff. I gave up. Don't know if the UK is any different, but a smart phone in the US is a necessity, even for people who don't use it as a mini laptop.

You don't have to load it up with apps. You can keep your personal data off of it. You don't have to link it to your other devices. You can password protect it, but sadly you are forced to use it, and it stinks.
