But they have very little to do with cards, as outside of that holder you couldn't pick that card out of a lineup of 9s.

It's like that brilliant scene from the film This Is Spinal Tap when the director, Marty DiBergi, is interviewing the guitarist, Nigel Tufnel, about his amplifier:

Nigel: "You see, most blokes will be playing at 10. You’re on 10, all the way up, all the way up...Where can you go from there? Nowhere. What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff...Eleven. One louder."

DiBergi: "Why don’t you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number, and make that a little louder?"

Nigel (after taking a moment to let this sink in): "These go to 11."
