Dingbat, an Uncommon card
A dingbat is a type of apartment building, named for the midcentury-esque visual motifs on their exterior, that flourished in the Sun Belt region of the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, a vernacular variation of shoebox style "stucco boxes".

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Dingbats are boxy, two or three-story apartment houses with overhangs sheltering street-front parking.
- They remain widely in use today as “bastions of affordable shelter.” The dingbat, like the bungalow court, was a "popular and populist form of housing." By converting single-family lots into multi-family homes, single-family dwellings could now house multiple households and still provide parking space.
- Mainly found in Southern California, but also in Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, and Vancouver, Canada, dingbats vary in cost from inexpensive to high-end.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dingbat article was read about 31,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
