UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

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

This is a deck I have been wanting to get for a long while now. Nice deck!

Excellent. Looking forward to your posts.

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…

Cartoon style art by Antonio Mingote (* 1919 - † 2012)
Design inspired by his comic series(?) published under the name "Myr Ediciones"
Printed by Fournier in 1968 with red and blue boxes/backs.
A deck with spanish suits was also released in 1968

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:

I love that Jack of Clubs. Nice detail with the pipe.

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
