So why do we have a snowboard?
Well actually there are two reasons, but let us start with the alternative names for this moon, which are the Mourning Moon, the Darkest Depths Moon, the Blood Moon, the Frost Moon and the Freezing Moon. And it is the last two of these which suggested our card, freezing being associated with snow - but more than that, this card was issued with Kellogg`s "Frosties".
Now this is quite an unusual card, not just because it is actually a sticker. I know few cartophilic items which are this diagonal shape though, and even less which are also diagonal on the reverse - but wait, because there is another set very similar to this, and that has the front picture and the back wording straight, not running diagonally across from corner to corner. That was issued in 1995, and also in France, though the credit gives an address in Chalfont St. Peter. Even more odd, there is a snowboard as one of those stickers too, but it is much more stylised than our card. Anyway I will see if I can track someone down who can share the front and back with us.
