The fact that they sell them in packs of 27 and that the greeting is on the back is also a big hint that these are basically TF pictures sold under the guise of Valentine's Day cards.
But like the Hallmark TF Christmas Tree "decorations".

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Did your school do the whole give Valentine's day cards to the class thing?
No one ever gave personalized valentine day cards every kid got their parents to buy packs of cards like these to give to our class.
That's what these are for.
And God help anyone that bought something like a Transformers card... Your social life would be OVER.

If you really think that geek and nerd interests are limited to boys only, and/or that no one would find a silly cute card with robots on it ..well, silly and cute, I pity your childhood and understand a lot more about your fun demeanour now.

I'm planning on getting these for both Burn, some of my friends, and my partner, this year.
The school card exchange thing is a very North American tradition, not to be found in the UK, as Mr So Fun at Parties explained above. But also...And God help anyone that bought something like a Transformers card... Your social life would be OVER.

Duh-doi.

Boys usually bought INDIVIDUAL cards for a girl they liked, then signed it "From ?" and snuck it into the bag of the form they liked and that was that. No reward, just heartbreak or the pain of unrequited love. If the girl found out, it was instant social life death. Sometimes boys might get a card (very rare) and the same happened. Neither party knew who sent the cards. Normally, though, only popular boys or girls got a card. For everyone else, it was a normal day.

It definitely happened in the UK at my primary school in the late 80s but not in my secondary school.

Really? What type of cards were sent? The American style ones (like these TF cards), or more romantic ones?
