I talked to Sean He thought we already had something like this going
But I have never seen it.

I'm thinking of a table by 

Country: carrier; Simcard etc etc.  ( an exstenible format might be wise)  

Not sure of the value of pictures but if you have them the table could link

I have 7 SIMs I am working with (More coming).  Should we create a SIM card
list, including pictures?  Is the SIM programed by the carrier, or by the
manufacture? 

Thinking a table something like this.
Card SKU, manufacturer code, Version,  Carrier, image front, image back,
Works (Yes/no/kinda), notes.   

Card images small, something like 100x80.
Is this carrier, or card specific?
Just an idea.
