The Pasteboard Bazaar - Sales, Trades & In Search Of (STISO) / [SALE] Your inexpensive way to get into the vintage card collecting...
« on: January 27, 2015, 04:39:36 PM »
I keep hearing people mention that they are scared to venture into vintage & antique card collecting because it's too foreign. When I first started, I said the same thing. However, with time & a little bit of guidance, I picked up a few tips and bits of information that have helped me. Though, to this day, I'm still learning.
Nonetheless, the most important thing I've come to understand is that there are plenty of decks worth collecting, well within most everyone's price range Click here for an example.
Take for instance...
The cost of owing an original 1890's Russell & Morgan Co. Texan #45 Deck is not cheap.
However thirty years ago, Philip Morris (Marlboro) produced a beautiful reproduction set of playing cards that included two wax paper wrapped decks of Texan #45 cards plus a booklet on the game of Poker packaged in a gold foiled imitation leather slipcase. The best part is that these are relatively easy to find, inexpensive to purchase, and should be in your collection.
Gold Foiled Imitation Leather Slipcase - Sweet!
These Texan #45 poker cards carry the Lone Star design (from the late 1890's), still the best known symbol of Texas.
Set comes with both Red & Blue
Raise your hands if you love small pips! I do! The old school Russell & Morgan Co. pips and courts are stellar!
NOTE: I know there are people out there in collectorville who shy away from purchasing cards produced by alcohol or tobacco companies, and I respect that. Though this 2-deck set has an exceptionally small amount of 'vice-like' branding. I believe Marlboro was focused on making great reproductions that day, rather than selling cigarettes.
This past week, I received twenty two (22) sets in AS ISSUED condition, just like the day they left the United States Playing Card Co.'s Cincinnati manufacturing plant.
Cease the moment and get your feet wet in regards to vintage cards. Buy this thirty year old, brand new cellophane'd two-deck Texan #45 playing cards for only $15.95 per set (plus shipping). First come, first served. Once I run out, I have no more.
