Here is a list of calling cards from different gangs of Chicago in the 70s and 80s. A couple of thoughts come to mind. First, Nothing makes you look like less of a bad ass than having your card say “Robert Loves Ann” and “Michael Loves Bridget” on the corners. Second, having the names of the gang members (and their girlfriends) printed on the calling card would result in frequent, expensive re-printing. What happens when Robert does not love Ann anymore or, god forbid, brother “Skippy” loses an argument with the police?
