Yes, I was part of the first wave of official Star Wars Fan Club members back in 1977.
I carried this card in my wallet like it was some kind of golden ticket — as if flashing it would open doors to exclusive events, get me lunch with the Tusken Raider actor, or at least let me shake hands with David Prowse (Darth Vader himself).
In reality, it didn’t get me any of those things… but it was about a thousand times more effective than an abstinence ring.
Of course, the glasses didn’t do me any favors either.
