Play The Hand You're Dealt

At the library, I spend a lot of time checking in books. This involves a visual inspection for water damage, tears, and tooth marks followed by flipping through it for dog-eared pages, stains, broken binding, or bookmarks and other detritus between the pages. Recently, there has been a trend of cards left behind as bookmarks. I knew there was a suitable reference or joke somewhere, and I decided a variation on the we have food at home template was probably the best fit.

Do you have any better ideas? Feel free to remix! I initially saved this with a watermark using my dizzy die logo, but decided keeping it unbranded for others to share and re-use was better.

Hahaha that's actually pretty cool. Do you put them in a lost and found box for if people come looking for them later? I love the unicorn bicycle card, but the hand itself looks pretty shit to be honest 🤣

Are you kidding? A unicorn ace of spades, a shiny Rowlet, and Bitter? That's practically a royal flush right there!

And yeah, we have a lost-and-found, but some of these are sent to us in our district courier without any evidence whose card it might be or where it came from due to other libraries not being as careful as we are about checking items, and anonymized borrowing records for items.

Hahaha ok so a good deck then - can you tell I don't collect cards? 🤣

Ah ok, so it's going to become your own collection then which is cool. I wish that sending stuff like this through the mail to people became fashionable again, although I like the way that they've landed up with you better.

I don't play Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh, so I have no idea how good those cards are. I think I even used the wrong term for the Rowlet. It's some kind of holo-foil type finish, but I also suspect it's a promo card of some kind with alternate art. Not valuable, and not in mint condition.

I highly recommend Apples to Apples. It's a lot more family-friendly than its darker imitator Cards Against Humanity or the dark cartoon version Joking Hazard.
