The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Though historians dismissed the story both then and now, Ross family tradition holds that General George Washington, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and two members of a congressional committee, Robert Morris and George Ross, visited Ross in 1776.
- Ross convinced Washington to change the shape of the stars in a sketch of a flag he showed her from six-pointed to five-pointed by demonstrating that it was easier and speedier to cut the latter.
- However, there is no archival evidence or other recorded verbal tradition to substantiate this story of the first U.S. flag.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Betsy Ross article was read about 210,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
