I think the problem here, on both the quantum and macro levels, is one of epistemology rather than one of metaphysics. It's not that the electron doesn't have a definite orientation in space; it's just that we can't know it (or, perhaps, that there aren't really electrons, I suppose). Same thing with the card. It's not that it's not definitely the nine of diamonds, it's just that we don't know it.
