You sure get along with your bosses. Nice Hiroshige deck.
Looks like they are custom. I found
this pic online. (You have to scroll to the bottom)
I have been lucky to work for some good guys. I don't know much about Hiroshige but I'll look it up.

Onward and upward. Getting to the end of the Thrift Shop and odds/ends.
Some old Aviators. Tucks are in poor condition but the cards are complete and in fair condition. An Aristocrat deck used in a Casino I've never heard of from the Dollar Tree. An old Streamline deck I don't know much about in fair condition. The last deck is from a defunct drug store chain called Drug Fair. (Seems there were two chains by this name. One in NJ, also defunct and one in the northern VA/Wash DC area that these were from) The cards are complete and in decent condition.
A couple more Open Delta Airlines decks. Both are complete and in fair condition.
A sealed Congress set I just picked up off Etsy.

That Russian deck is really cool. I've been meaning to add one or two to my collection for a while, but that's probably one of the best ones I've seen. I really like the background and variety of the number cards, reminds me a bit of the Russian Folk Art deck (ok so I sort of already have one), but in a cool retro way. Those courts are always awesome. Thrift store find? Wow, I check mine out pretty often, but usually best finds there are board games, sometimes card games. The decks are always boring and few. I suppose most people just don't think they are worth donating because in their minds they only cost a few bucks to begin with? Yet you keep finding them, so maybe the good ones just don't last in my area.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing. Some good ones in here!

@Ecnate... I love the courts and the number cards, unlike many decks, are not just an afterthought but beautiful in their own right. The best 50 cents I ever spent. It took a week to get the grin off my face. I am lucky. The thrift stores here are the size of supermarkets and the one near my house is actually two in one and nearly the size of a Wal-Mart. On an interesting side note the charities that own the thrift stores near my house got a 99 year lease and the stuck up residents and homeowners associations have been trying to get them out for years. Here's to hoping they continue to fail.
@Volantangel... I would be glad to grab you a set my friend.

I love matte tucks, but they make it impossible to take the seals off cleanly, don't they?
Fantastic decks.

@Eoghann... Good eye. Matte tucks do indeed make it near impossible to peel the seals. Still beautiful though.
@Volantangel... I am torn between the Blue and Black. Truth is they are all beautiful. The Red Empire will be featured later. (Thanks to a generous friend!) And that is indeed a DOTA 2 mouse pad. Since I don't own a close up pad I use this instead. I was wondering when someone would notice.

Please forgive the fans....
Spades
Diamonds
Clubs
And Hearts... No I wasn't drinking. Not sure how the pic got that crooked.
Jokers and "date" cards

Thank you. I don't have the original Tendril and I am still waiting for the new Tendrils to come in. I also don't have a personalized Deco or First Printing Set either. As for Encarded the only thing I don't have is a Display box for the LE set.

Thanks for the compliment buddy! The only deck that comes to mind is the Bicycle Porcelain deck and not because I can't find it but because the only ones on Ebay are way over priced.

Thank you Necro, really enjoyed your postings. It's great having someone else around who mines the thrift stores for decks. I'm glad we don't live in the same community though
