These may be of interest to a few American collectors. Burnham, Parry, Williams & Co`s Iron Horse Playing cards printed by the NY Consolidated Playing Card Co. Printed around 1876 for M.W. Baldwin & Co ( A different Baldwin Engine can be seen on each court card) The cards are printed with on...

Very Cool Brad . The Ace makes all the difference when looking for info. Hochman Encyclopedia of American Playing Cards by Tom & Judy Dawson has pretty much the same thing to say about the company as the wopc link you shared "The Gibson playing Card Co, Cincinnati and New York produced card...

That would be great, could you also post the Spade Court cards?

Hi Brad, just seen this so sorry for late reply. there are a few companies that have an "Regal" range...but this one judging by the back design looks like it could be a pack from the Arrow playing card company (which later became Arrco )... please Remember i am not an expert and i could be...

OK then, what about their earlier project (they have done a few, all with different creator names)

Beetles Fan : metal mechanical beetle cards..?

Steampunk Coleoplera playing cards ?

Some pics of some of the courts

Truco can be played with any basic 40 card spanish suited deck. Most of my basic sets come form the manufacturer "fournier" they also did nice spanish suited custom decks so you could try searching for fournier decks on e-bay. i found a set of spanish suited cards on playingcarddecks.com b...

I took a look a the link you shown, quite an entertaining read I really would not get too excited by the "rare" and "Hard to find" bits if i was you. Given time i could probably get one of these packs for between £5-£10 and if it was tax sealed maybe £15-£20 and that's if i reall...

These look very similar to a set of De La Rue from the 20's That i have.
Do you have any images of the spade courts so i could identify them ?

This is one of my top 10 decks of all time, absolutely gorgeous :drool: Unfortunately Matt's deck is not an 1967 printing but is from 1978. I think the extra card showing the "jubilee" year has him mistaken, there are actually 4 different versions of this card and can be found in packs thr...

Nice deck

If you like Jean Picart le doux designs then i recommend "Le Quatre Saisons" printed by Grimaud in 1965.

Love That Box

Excellent Collection Fabrice :D You Must be a very brave and trusting person to give your cards for the exposition i would be too nervous in case of a fire at the event or even theft. :cry: Is there any packs that you are on the look out for...perhaps a white whale you can`t find anywhere? I only ha...

Roope asked me about these the other day but i had no clue about them. But seeing the courts :lol: yeah i know them.

I got this Ganjifa set this week. i believe the set is called "Ath Rangi Sara" and was made in the Puri district of Orissa, India (hopefully Guru can chime in if that info is wrong). Ganjifa.jpg The set consists of 96 cards with each card measuring around 69mm in diameter There are Eight s...

Well i am no expert of "American" cards, But to my knowledge these are- "The times of Kamehanieha" , designed by Joseph Feher of Hawaii and Printed by ARRCO in 1984 USPCC "could have" reprinted these after their takeover of Arrco in 1987, but i doubt it. Again i am no e...

Hiya Jennifer. Thanks for coming along to our dark corner of the internet :D Most artists who sell cards on etsy just bang there art onto cards and call it an "art deck". But you seem to have plunged straight into making semi-transformation decks ( and actual semi-transformation decks at t...

And Jock I do not think of you as a second rate collector, but I also believe that you value the condition of your collection, even if the condition of decks you collect is on a wider spectrum than those of us who exclusively collect modern cards. That's fine Justin, as i said, each to their own. N...

Justin, You called me a second rate collector and my collection second rate, without knowing me or knowing what my collection consisted of. even when i told you each and every collector and collection was different. Just because Bradius has pointed out that my collection is 95% vintage and antique, ...

Justin O. wrote:Yes. 100% yes if more than half of your collection is ripped, water damaged and/or molding, yes.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't be proud of what you have, because I agree collectors are different, but yes.

that`s a terrible thing to say.

But at the end of the day I feel better about my collection knowing other people’s are second rate. You may have good opinions and good theories, but you are a second rate collector, and no matter how big your collection grows, or how rare the decks you have are, if they aren’t in good condition th...

Is there a comparison pic somewhere of the 1E JoD versus the 2E? What was the reason for the change?
