Yes, correct.

It's a very interesting card. The red rectangle is cutout and affixed to the card. The silhouette is not a separate layer. It's merely an area where the red didn't color. As if they cut out the image of the player, colored in around it, and then stuck that to the card.

Different colors. I remember seeing a blue or purple one. Not sure of the others, though.

Pretty much. But these were created a couple of years before it was built/completed. I think the base was the last part to be finished -- it was paid for by the US, I believe. These were renderings so the base design likely changed.

I sadly don't even have any glasses to look at it yet. I need to get some as well as one of those contraptions to look at stereoview cards. They're pretty cheap on eBay.

I've seen them called fans and cheerleaders. Have never figured out which is truly correct.
