The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Ballads receiving the Jones treatment were punctuated with various sound effects, including gunshots, whistles, cowbells, hiccups, burps, sneezes, animal sounds and outlandish and comedic vocals.
- Jones and his band recorded for RCA Victor as Spike Jones and His City Slickers from the early 1940s to the mid-1950s, and they toured the United States and Canada as "The Musical Depreciation Revue".

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
