A Game of 500?

I pondered for a long time. How am I going to show 500 in a blip? What naturally occurring "500"s are to be found - just hanging about? And then it came to me. In our "games" cupboard there's a shoe box with some old decks of cards in it. One of the oldest is this pack of playing cards with 11, 12 and 13 spot cards included.
