scanned the playing card images in using a scanner the marketing guy at work had (it
was a 16-bit colour scanner, a rarity in the early 90s) - they were from a deck of
cards I got in the USSR.  I still have the cards (and the cribbage board I modelled it
on), so I could recreate it if I really wanted to, but it wouldn't be the same.
