And the Winner Is:

I hope I can get credit for this idea:

it would be hilarious if future 2+2 books had paint card faces resemble Mason, Sklansky, and other authors.

It wouldn't have to be caricatures, in fact it would be nice to have 2+2 put out decks of cards with these pioneers' likenesses on the face cards, so that in a few hundred years from now, we could rest assured that they'd deservedly be the standard design. How about it?

Someone draw a Sklansky King of Clubs for starters...
