MATIF trading cards

Thanks to Fabien Danis of Paris for sending on the scan of the front and back of some cards used at MATIF by the firm Oddo.  I'm a bit suprised that the A side is red and V is blue (A for acheter "buy" and V for vendre "sell") as those colors are reversed everywhere else. 

Although nothing remains of MATIF at the Bourse de Commerce to indicate it was once an open outcry trading floor, it's worth visiting when in Paris because the interior and exterior of the building is gorgeous.
