Cyberpunk 2020 - Ideas for the CCG

Once upon a time there was a collectible card game for the Cyberpunk 2020 setting. It was a bit clunky but it was also a lot of fun.  Especially for those of us who were fans of the RPG. Sadly it didn't last very long with only a core set and an expanded core set making it out. 

There was an expansion already planned out, cards written and quite a bit of artwork attained from what was being shown.  Also the forums for the game were active with it's fans who were constantly tossing out new card ideas for them to use in future expansions.  It was a good time.

Going through some old files on an external hard drive I came across a list of cards I had come up with.  Some aren't complete stat wise but you get the idea.  Figured I would share them since they have no other actual use anymore.
