Worldwide now has a new name, and a content change.

Worldwide Time Machine
"Cards from far off lands and bygone days!"

Please post your vintage, antique and international decks there and help us make UC the place to go for all kinds of playing cards.

We have added a North American thread for vintage and antique decks specifically, since the newer decks are already well covered. If you have an older North American deck please post pictures of it there, along with any info you may have on it's background.

Vintage is currently understood to be from the 1970s or earlier while Antique has to be 100, or more, years old.

Anyone who has an article or info they would like to add to the Time Machine please just PM either me or Eoghann. We'll find a spot for it, and you get full credit.

Speaking of credit, we wish to give a special shout out to Jase (Jock1971) for his valuable feedback in the rebranding and expansion of Worldwide Time Machine. From slogan to vintage decks; his contributions have greatly enriched our little corner of the forums. Jase has a special request that if anyone here has an "Outing" brand deck by Andrew Dougherty, esp. with the Moose Head back, please post it to the North America thread.

Woo! Exciting stuff!

Too cool, everyone! Something I can contribute to a lot, frankly. I'm going to let things develop naturally and just chime in when and where I can. Vintage & antique decks? I can do that...

Cool Mike

I know your collection was originally built on the vintage and antique decks so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you've got. By any chance is there an "Outing Sportsman" deck in there?

No, I don't think so, dazz. I've got a lot of vintage and antique decks, but not so many USPCC decks as you might suppose: a lot of them are British, Piatnik, Carti Mundi and various others. "Outing Sportsman"? Can't say that I am even familiar with that one.

[dazzleguts]

My bad. It's actually only called "Outing" and was made by A. Dougherty as a competitive brand to USPCC's "Sportsman".

The Worldwide Time Machine now has an ARTICLES section and one of the first articles is ...

A Brief History of Waddingtons Playing Cards & some of the more common Aces

by Jase (Jock1971)

The history and aces shown should be of great help to anyone who is trying to fix a date on a Waddingtons deck. Please take a look, and if you have any comments put them in the General Discussion thread. Maybe we can to persuade Jase to cover more of the British makers.

Anyone else who has an article to contribute, about vintage, antique or international decks, please send a PM to Eoghann or dazzleguts. This can be something you wrote/compiled yourself, or it can be an article you found.
