(I'm going to try to ignore what a sweet piece of *ss that girl is in the OP. Yowza!!!!!!!!)
As a tyke in 1975, we used to flip the colorful new cards. IIRC, we called it 'topsies' (Toppsies?), where you stood back from the playground wall and tossed a card. The goal was to make it land front side up. Your opponent then flipped a card in the same manner (from a stack of cards held with the fronts facing downward, unseen), and if the top color (behind the team name) of the two-toned card matched the last one thrown, you won the cards. We went until someone won all of the cards thrown up to that point. Sometimes it was a mere pair, and other times it was quite a heap of cardboard.
Well, being clever little kids, we decided to beat the system by cutting up our cards to form a winning amalgam of many colors that was inserted into our stack, like so...

Of course, if it was thrown incorrectly and landed face down, we ran the risk of it falling into enemy hands if they won that particular round, shooting ourselves in the foot with a cardboard bullet. Those were some anxious moments. Since there weren't any specific rules against this type of deception (much like the 1919 Black Sox discussion), we had no problem employing the maneuver. However, being kids, the screams of
"No fair!!!!!!!!!!!!" would come immediately, quickly followed by fisticuffs...and we'd be sent home in our dirt-stained clothes to face the wrath of our mothers
Good times.
