[UPHPU] VisiBone "cheat sheets"

[Caleb Call]

Definitely let us know if there will be a group purchase.  I'm in for a 
laminated card collection.  I have something similar already called a 
Sparks chart that I got in an HTML class.  These appear to have a ton 
more info in them though so it will be a great addition to my slowly 
growing resources collection.
