Sounds like a fun idea. I can imagine what kind of collectors item this
would be. Finnish Aku Ankka actually enclosed a set of duck-playing
cards less than a year ago. Only court cards had pictures, though.
Playingcards could be said to encourage kids to illegal gambling, or
something... :-)
What else could be included? Personally I´m in the need of those magnets
that you can put to fridge's door, so Disney ones would be fun. Hmmm. I
can see myself keeping the low-budjet shopping-lists (aka
"end-of-the-month-shopping-lists") up there with a Scrooge-magnet. On a
pay day I could use Gus Goose to carry a letter-size list of all the
delicacies I want to eat (it might inspire me to get so lazy as to let
the wife do the shopping, as well).
