It is not recommended for children under eighteen, pregnant women, people with heart problems, or those taking Viagra.

I might be 90% right, or I might be 20% right, the point is, first impressions are what gives cards their initial value, so if you trade for a lemon, you will still have a little time to jump ship and sell it.
