I scanned all four FB1&2 SSD/order sheets (with Jon's permission) and
posted them to my website -
see <http://warbard.iwarp.com/ft.html> - I've also got PhalonBits
available there.

They're big jpgs, so you can use them, ShipBits, and your favourite
graphics program to do 'professional' looking SSD sheets.

Alternately, Jaime's trading-card sized SSDs work very well, if you
don't
mind giving up having everything on one piece of paper.
