I have an Odyssey - the cards are indeed simple tinplate over copper
on uber-cheap phenolic board.  What you see is what you get.  No
camera tricks here.

Hi
 I will repeat again. Coat with DC#4.
 I'm beginning to sound like a broken record. It works
with tinplate over copper. It even works with bare copper.
As long as the surface is cleaned first of salts and such,
it will protect for years.
