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.
