From time to time I'll post a few decks here, the theme is mixed and contains a bit of everything from ~1870 to ~2000s.
The main focus is on antique/vintage non standard front designs and artwork as well as old advertising backs.
Starting with this surrealistic Artwork from Taro Okamoto (* 1911 - † 1996). A vibrant colored deck with a lot to discover, designed in 1977

Re: [atzenhofer] Some cards from the collection
I grabbed a couple of these decks loose from zenmarket a ways back, took a peek but didn’t spot any at the moment - found this post on reddit with the full monte…

Die Spielkarte der feinen Welt, translated literally: "The playing card of the fine world" by F.A. Lattmann in Goslar, 1923
Wonderful Art Nouveau design, thankfully with OBox.
Another variant of the QoD is known and shown here:

Re: [atzenhofer] Some cards from the collection
A little late but here are three antique postcards wishing a happy new year with playing card motives.
First one was sent in 1910, second one in 1928 and the third one is still unused, likely printed around 1925.
Just a small selection of a tremendous amount of postcards that were printed with card motives
