The upper half of a black Nobody sigil is present on the right half of the disc, and there is a small, white diamond on the tip on the left spike. There is a black Roman numeral 13 (XIII) on the upper left side. | A "card" from the Finest Fantasy 13 deck looks like an enormous {{w|Compact Disc|compact disc}}, presumably a game disc.
