Hi Jase! First, as I've stated before, I love your posts!
I wanted to ask you about the Home Run replicas, what do you think about them and if you have any original (Murphy Varnish, Triplicates, Quadruplicates).
Thanks!

I peronally love what Michael Scott is doing. Any kind of repro deck or facsimilie is great by me because its the only way to get a copy of decks that can no longer be found and if you could find them they are really expensive.
i like the fact that Michael is reproducing decks that are historically important . I`m pretty bummed out about the Euchre deck not being funded as that was the first deck to ever have jokers..hopefully he will try that one again.
I have not any of the originals...way to expensive if i could find any that is..but i do have some English decks of the same period. I recently posted a deck from 1830-1840 with the "Old Frizzle" Ace and am now looking to get a deck from the late 1700`s-1812 with the "Garter Ace" but the cheapest i`ve seen of these deck comes in around £400-£500 so it may be some time before i get one problem is there is always something else to buy instead.
Here are some cards
i Got the UC 2016 Deck in today.

Funny how that grimauld deck reproduction has teh stadard poker indices but the courts and and text below are of the Spanish type deck (Oros (gold coins
bastos (clubs- as in wooden primitive clubs), copas (chalice/cups), and espadas (swords). Do you know if the poker indices were added to the reproduction?
Very nice collection, jelous

[Jock1971]

Do you know if the poker indices were added to the reproduction?

Thanks for the kind words about my cards Pablo19
It is indeed a strange pack with french suit symbols on the number cards and Spanish suit symbols on the court cards Maybe made for the Export market or following a "Trend" in card games at the time,who knows
The answer to your question is Yes the indices were added-on. Grimauld has done this to many of their reproductions ,Probably to make them more playable and more accessible to modern players. i personally feel there is no place for modern indices on reproduction packs.but sometime have to suffer them to get a copy of certain decks.

1148.JPG

A 4 deck bezique set Imported from America into Britain by L.G Sloan. i Date this set to 1912 My reasoning =
In 1894 the New York Consolidated Co became a subsidiary of U.S.P.C.C and began using the U.S.P.C.C date codes when they first appeared in 1904, from June 1930 the N.Y.C.C and Andrew Dougherty merged to become the ConsolidatedDougherty Co. The date letter is R on all 4 Aces, so between 1904 & 1930 the only R code is from 1912.
Anyone with better knowledge of American decks please correct me if i`m wrong.
