Much Appreciated. Gotta love freebies...

The case for the Shakespeare inspired deck by Waddington is ridiculously good. I don't think I have seen anything like it. Btw is that leather on top of it with a "polished metal?" Thanks. I like it too. I remember buying them for my dad when I was a kid visiting Stratford Upon Avon with ...

There isn't really a section in UC specifically for posting images of magic cards, unless you are doing a trick video for the magic and cardistry section. There's at least one fanning deck in the WorldWide already, the Skittles Fanning Deck designed by magician Yutaka Kikuchi (Japan), so magic deck...

Wow thanks again for the information you guys. Please do post some decks to the WorldWide goonie :) I will be getting to some this week for sure...Hopefully I can be of help to fill those galleries. With a lot of my trick decks being European I was wondering where I should put them...In the magic se...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I am not certain, but the one with four indices looks like CartaMundi decks I have found, if Jace doesn't know a British deck, we are likely not going to be helpful, he almost always can find pictures from the makers catalogues. I know I can probably d...

Hi Jase, Glad to see you enjoyed them. I was fascinated by your collection too. My father would be green with envy. Hi there Mat. I understand from your introduction that you would like as much information on the cards so you can hopefully sell the decks and get the best price for them. -jase- I am ...

A 40 card PIATNIK Milanese Triplex Deck.

Each suit has a King, Queen, Jack and numbers 1-7.

Anyone know why this deck has only 40 cards??

Some rather large PIATNIK Magic cards.

And a copy of Morden's playing cards showing English counties from 1676. Reprinted in 1972.

An Arrco twin-deck with torero bull-fight backs. Heavy use.

The rest of the PIATNIK Shakespeare deck:

A Twin-deck of Waddington's Frank Meadow Sutcliffe cards. One pack opened. One unopened.

Welcome to the forum! :) I am on the island myself, in Parksville. Used to live in Victoria, and really liked it there, but had to move up-island. Jase (Jock1971) is very knowledgable on British decks, especially Waddingtons. 8-) Do you have anything off the beaten path in that collection? I'm alwa...

Hi from Victoria, BC. My name is Mat and I am a Brit who emigrated to Canada at the turn of the millenium. Most of my collection came from my late father Kenneth Smith who operated nightclubs all over the UK from the 60's to the late 90's and was a collector of cards and magic. I am sure there are m...

On the subject of photography, i just found a twin pack of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe cards I think from the 80's. I will post pictures as soon as I have had my morning cuppa. They came from my father's collection who was an avid photographer. My house has a collection of FMS prints of Whitby Bay in the...

Thanks for the welcome.

I will be posting some old English and European decks. Hopefully I have time later this afternoon.

I inherited his collection of cards and tricks when he passed and that's what brought me here Although ...
