I really enjoyed reading that story, Robert.

Okay, now this is interesting/weird:

I just found a copy of the "Palestine Play-card" deck listed on eBay, with a Starting Bid set at $1,200:

While pricey, it's less than half the Minimum Bid (or maybe it was the Buy it Now Price) was the last time I saw it on eBay, which was $2,700! (I don't recall whether or not that one sold).

What's weird (even a bit surreal to me) is that I AM QUOTED IN THE LISTING!!

The seller quotes my comments about the deck from my "Interview" in the opening post of this thread!

weird indeed. Link is inactive now though so I couldn't see it. Says the listing has been removed.

This almost has to be the same listing. Same quote of your UC "interview" from the OP.

I have two Palestine decks from about the same time period, but have bison/buffalo backs. I will have to find them... I have seen them recently for about $100, made in Great Britain by Waddington.

Mike, I just noticed that in your sig, you say "Bonefide" when it should be "Bona Fide" (two words, with an "a", not an "e").
