No explanations yet, but damn, your analysis was something like the CIA would give me. I'll ask vicky who took the pics, but it seems weird she would hold the cards. BTW, those cards are what was needed for a Direct tv system I bought for the family, seems the pawn shop in El Paso gave me the wrong cards and yes, you can buy unactivated cards here in the U.S. Actually, you can buy a lot more than that, but I'm not even going there!
