Paper to plastic

When I was a kid, I'd go through my father's old Time and Newsweek magazines and cut the same picture out week after week after week.

I would cut this picture out:




It came in many sizes. Actual card size, miniature size. I'd cut them all out. I'd put them in my wallet and pretend they were real. It's funny because I don't think AMEX was even accepted in the Philippines in the early 80's (I also don't think I knew what a credit card was at 6). I just thought the card was very cool.

No need to pretend now.

It's not green though.

But it is very cool.
