Interesting extra cards with that Bezique deck J. Funny that they call the cards 'pneumatic' - I guess for the airflow over the cards?
i always enjoy your comments,as they always send me on a quest to find out more for you.

Just my observation and I'm certain that Jace has seen a ton more than I have, but most of the tax-sealed decks have a webbed type paper that is somewhere between what we would call waxed paper and a fabric, I have to assume to make it more difficult to remove the tax overwrap and use it again? Jace - doesn't that jibe with what you've seen? I Know I've seen a couple of pretty old decks that are more like an onionskin paper or maybe a bit heavier kind of like a 30# bond we used to call "kraft paper" or "poster paper".dazzleguts wrote:Thanks JaseMy curiosity drives some people crazy so just let me know if I ask too much.
Perfect sense since my own ability with words is tenuous and erratic. I have a great vocabulary but it's often misplaced.Jock1971 wrote:Yes it is Wax Paperdazzleguts wrote:Isn't that wax paper rather than plastic sealing the last Waddingtons decks?, i wasn`t trying to mis-lead,my brain just couldn`t come up with the words to describe the wrapping -even though i know what wax paper is. if that makes any sense.

Thank you for the close ups of the de la rue extras. I was able to read that the pneumatic cards had dimpled backs and smooth fronts to allow air between the cards.

In case no one is keeping track, Thats like $500+ on these cards. I stopped counting after $500. I want the Fed52 series too. But not bad enough to shell out $250 to get them all. 5 decks for $250 is not a good deal to me yet. I cringe to think of the day that it will.Jock1971 wrote:Still waiting on my Requiem decks..I know they are coming though

A couple of weeks ago i decided to hit my wish list hard ,starting with Jacksons Federal 52 series,so looked on e-bay .![]()
nobody in England ,or anywhere else except a couple in America (Gamblers etc) so Gamblers it was i ordered both fed 52 branded & unbranded, thinking i`d do two every couple of weeks incase something happened so i wouldn`t loose to much money in one go. so they are somewhere on the Atlantic.
Monday i looked on e-bay again and 1 person in England had 3 of the others (YES YA BEAUTY) Good prices (Another YES YA BEAUTY) i got all Three.He`s got all Four Holmes decks as well he`s selling. Them are MINE.He`S saving them for me till i get some spare change.
Once again i thank you for taking the time to look at my cards-Jase-
Thanks Eoghann, I fear looking all over this forum for fear of the same thing.Eoghann wrote:I always fear looking at this thread because chances are you've obtained decks I've been looking for a while! The Siriol deck....
Nice one!
Hi there Volantangel, The box is interesting, Padded front with ribbons around the sides. very smooth to the touch with a 3-D effect. very cool.volantangel wrote:Haha heck ive got the far better end of the deal than you jase ! Ill make sure its worth your while the next time we trade ! The last box with the dog on the deck is interesting, reminds me of a small powder box

For now, Its cheap decks on sale to expand the collection. lol
In short, Jase, I'm friggin jealous of you dude.
Hi Dazzelgitsdazzleguts wrote:I have a mint deck of that Waddingtons Canasta with the points. I found it sealed in cello but with no box. Nice to see the set it came from. Is there a year on that set Jase?
Do you have many tarot decks?

Hi Dazzelgutsdazzleguts wrote:"Around 1965, USPC began the practice of "pre-facing" some decks, especially Congress decks. This means a supply of faces were printed then stored so the backs could be added as needed. Therefore, Congress cards and any other pre-faced brands stopped using the codes altogether."
I know that doesn't really pinpoint it, but at least we know they are from after 1965. Copied that from Lee Asher's site.
I noticed you have a lot of double decks and sets Jase. Is that by choice or chance?
I have seen those cards you`re talking about scattered about but haven`t any.dazzleguts wrote:Love that 555 tuck box. They really wanted you to know that deck number!
Reminds me of the made in China decks that always have some prominent 3 digit number. You know - the decks not made for a particular company, but imported to fill a cheap card deck spot on someone's shop shelf. I have a small collection of some with interesting boxes and card graphics.
