Taken by Propworx staff directly from The Bridge Studios, where MGM’s Stargate series were produced.

Clear playing cards found among John Sheppard’s personal effects, seen in unspecified episodes of Stargate Atlantis. Sheppard discovered his genetic sensitivity to Ancient technology while touring the Antarctic outpost, and was soon roped into the Atlantis expedition by Dr. Elizabeth Weir. For the next five years he led his team into battle in the Pegasus Galaxy against the Wraith, Replicators, and numerous other foes.
