Okay, these look to be Martian features. What I found (at a nice astrogeology site):

So, again, this is one of Von's. I like to think we may have to travel to Mars in order to find the Cube, but, perhaps not...

I think this is one of Adrian's Wink

I'm a little confused as to the placement of the sites on the card, though..

I think the captions for the locations are hinting at something more here.

1- the chief designer could refer to Sergei Korolev, designer of Russia's Spacecraft Mars-Venus
2- Mons Olympus indicates a tough climb at Mount Olympus
3- Schiaparelli, who the crater was named after, mapped much of Mars, thus a farsighted mapmaker
4- the pioneer would be the Viking I, which landed at Chryse Planitia
5- the rover Sojourner landed at Ares Vallis as my first wheels
6- Pavonis Mons is the largest volcano on Mars, and Cotopaxi is the largest active volcano in Ecuador, right on the equator and definitely a good place for an elevator

I'm just not sure how to put this information together or if the location of the marks on the card has something to do with it.

I'm just thinking out loud here and possibly derailing the thread, but Schiaparelli is also a shade of pink (not too dissimilar to shocking pink). What? I like What Not To Wear, OK?

Card Code wha?

Is this like the ghost image of a card on the Whipsmart card?

yeah, under the W of What, there's a 10 with what could be a diamond but looks like an inverted triangle.

Just noting in case the Silver Shuffled card requires this information.

10 of hearts?

how did i miss that before Rolling Eyes

sooooo... not wanting to give up on the silver card

what if this is a contingency plan, if we cant solve the card by itself (find a password for encoding the order of cards) we can collect 54 marked cards and find the order to decode the message that way.

Anyone managed to get this solved yet?

I've tried various possibilities - rethinking the wording on the card: what are these places?

Maybe its not as straight forward as the name of the places???

Help Please!!
