No. 762 (Man)
1990

A worn, textured red background with faded black text that reads: "MAN To dream of a tidy colored man denotes good luck in games of chance 782" and "A white man denotes money, usually gotten dishonestly." The text appears to be from an old document or book with some words partially obscured due to damage or wear.
