Your thoughts... Vintage playing cards, sell deck or singles?

Unread post by Boredgourd »

Hello.
So, I have acquired a large (150+ decks) of vintage playing cards, about 75% bridge, the rest poker. They are SOOOO cool. Love them, especially some of the images of the backs. All of the decks are used but in great condition, and I plan to sell them. I am thinking that the best route would be as single swap cards. Do you agree? Your thoughts, pro and con are appreciated.

When you say acquired did you collect them, buy a whole collection or inherit them?
What decades are you talking?
Have you seen them or similar offered as decks?
Have you seen them or similar offered as singles?
And if so "are they actually selling" or just sitting on ebay or wherever

+ 💯
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.
