Transaction completed: thanks to Joey at "theflush.com.au"

[Mike Ratledge]

Everybody probably saw these about a month (more now?) ago from several sources. I completed the purchase of these decks today, and would like to thank Joey down at "TheFlush.com.au" a playing cards website "down under". Here's the imagery, I won't repeat it here again, but the college student that found them at the local thrift store did quite well for his initial investment of $6! I'm happy, he's happy, and Joey's happy! Here's the original pix: http://imgur.com/a/l6nmu and a single frame posted here so if you already saw it you don't need to go check it out (again). Of course, they aren't 1935 Kem decks as everybody assumes at first, that AoS had the (C)1935 date on it right up until 1970 when they got sucked up by USPCC like many others. The "Northbrook" double decks are odd, simply because not many people have ever even seen one, they were pretty limited in regional distribution around Northbrook Illinois (a suburb of Chicago), so even though they were made by the boatloads, they just never saw wide distribution like Kem decks, etc. When they get here I'll post some more pix, but the ones already seen at the link above on imgur are pretty darned good!
