Don,

I tried to answer your ? the best I could earlier.. The truth is the guy is near100 years old and that his memory isn't the best if you know what I mean.   He isn't always "with it" so to say..

His son is a close friend of mine and he is my go between for the most part..

I asked him ?s about the cards, when I first seen them, and he told me that the cards are from the Factory in Chicago and date back to the Mid 1960's to the early 1970s..

He worked for the Arrco Playing Card Company for nearly 50 years..  So he printed alot of cards.. He did it all there..

He would take a few decks home from work every week or couple weeks and save them in storage...

They sat in storage for 40 years until I was able to get them...

And as for a famous person using them, Ed Marlo, was from Chicago and one of the biggest fans of Arrco Playing Cards and used them religiously..

Yes in the Magic community unless a deck is started on KS, and hyped up, no one knows about it and before the decks are even financed and paid for they are being hailed as being RARE and Limited Edition and selling for $100s of dollars a deck.. LOL.. Sad but True...

These cards are TRULY RARE and I know this because I have talked to collectors all around the world and no one has seen them.. After Dan and Dave Buck seen the cards, They were absolutely AMAZED and wanted All The Decks I could get My Hands On, to work out a trade so they could feature them on their site..

I have already managed to see several decks out of the 12 and Traded another Set away to a friend..
I have 6 Decks listed on eBay and then that is it...

As far as I KNOW, I am the only one in the World that has these Cards, and the few ppl that bought a deck or traded me for a deck are the others.. Now that is TRULY RARE and LIMITED EDITION..

With STUD ERA coming to an end, it is funny how the entire thing has come full circle with the end of an era, and then finding 1st Gen STUDS manufactured by arrco with the unique back design..

The Quality of the cards speak for themselves and anyone who owns a VTG Deck of Tahoes, with the Resilient linen finish Know exactly what feel I am talking about..

Hey who knows, someone maybe spent $300 a deck for UsEd decks..

I think it is most likely a schill and the reason I say that Is b/c I tried buying these cards at $100 a deck and he WOULD not budge and wanted $2500 for 10 decks..

So he sales a set for $300 each and then I get a message saying he will give me a great deal at $200 a deck...

He says see the lsiting completed I sold a set for $300 each so you are getn a great deal..

But it dont add up b/c this guy would not give you a penny break !!

Anyways I am done tlking aobut it.. if someone wants to pay that much and they get rippe doff by the guy , that is their busienss...

The cards are nice, but they are still used and at max I would value them at $150-$175 a deck USE din MINT condition..

$300 is insane..  .

Hey Don,

The friend of mine is a very elderly man and is nearly 100 years old.  He use to work for the Arrco Playing Card Company in Chicago until USPC bought them out  and closed them down.

The man worked for Arrco for over 40 years, and he was able to collect alot of these decks over that time period..

He has a large collection of Vintage Arrco decks which I was able to purchase some of Today..

I was able to get some Vintage Arrco Tahoe Decks.. Some Vintage Club Reno decks - Pre-cursor to US Rgs... Some Vegas Clubs - which are pre-cursor to the Tahoes.. and some Vtg STUDS - with Rare Back design..

I have talked to collectors all over the world and no one has been able to show me a matching deck..

The closest thing I heard was one of these RARE STUD decks sold at auction on eBay for over $500 5 years ago..

I heard this story from 2 seperate sources..

Dan and Bave, The Buck Twins, I showed them a pic of the cards and they were completely dumb founded and NEVER SEEN them before ever.. They prob. have one of the largest Private Collections in the World..

They Definitely want as many of the decks as I can get though for themselves.. They couldn't believe that I came across such a stash and I still can't believe it either.. I am going to work out a Trade with them and I am selling 6 decks on eBay right now or on my site at: http://dealingdeuces.com. ..

I got them Priced to sell quickly at $199 a deck, which is a steal...

If anyone is wondering on what they feel like, they feel exactly like the VTG Vegas Clubs and VTG Foil Wrapped Tahoes with the Resilient Linen Finish.. These are DEF a true GEM, and once everyone realizes how TRULY FEW the # of decks are out there, they will be going at auction for alot more than Jerrys Nuggets..

If you think Jerrys Nuggets are a RARE deck , these are prob 10,000 times RARE..
For all I know I may have the only ones left in the entire world.. That would be CRAZY..
I am STILL waiting for Someone to show me another Deck like them...  I have tried finding another deck like this for weeks...

If you are interested in owning a deck of these, it's 1st come 1st serve on my site or on ebay..

http://dealingdeuces.com

Also I am open to Trade Offers also....

Buyer Beware, after trying to get a deal with this guy there is no way on Gods green Earth he is going to give anyone a discount, if was TRULY able to get $600 for 2 decks..

All the decks would be sold for $300... not a penny less..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-2-DECKS-of-VINTAGE-1965-DUNES-CASINO-PLAYING-CARDS-COMPLETE-55-CARD-DECKS-/120993402070?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2bc4ccd6

So he simply uses a schill to make a buy, pay the fees, then tells ppl like me and you who made offers, hey I am getting $300 a deck, you can too also.. I'll give you a deal for $2000.. at $200 a deck...

So BUYER BEWARE, this guy is DEF out to get every penny he can..

I am fine with making a bunck but to try to manipulate ppl and the market by what he is doing is just wrong..

No 1 in their right mind is going to pay $300 for a USED Deck of Dunes, but if someone is dumb enough to pay, then they deserve each other..

I wish I could have got the for $100 a deck, but simply not going to happen.. They will pop up again soon :)

11
The boxes of 3 of the tucks are torn... But this gut is trying to say someone bought a set off of him for $599.99...  LOL..

He did another listing for $499.99 which is $250 a used deck, which is crazy ... No one bought that but then all of a sudden someone paid $600 for 2 used decks or paid $300 a deck..

But now he MAGICALLY wants to give me a deal now and has all these other buyers and wants $2000 or $200 a deck for 10 decks which is just INSANE...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-2-DECKS-of-VINTAGE-1965-DUNES-CASINO-PLAYING-CARDS-COMPLETE-55-CARD-DECKS-/120993402070?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2bc4ccd6

This gy would NOT give you a penny discount if he didn't have too..

But now he acts like he is giving me some great deal for $2000 or $200 a deck and he says look see I sold a set for $600 today..

Chances are he bought the SET himself or had a schill buy it... He is prob telling other ppl the same thing.. Trying to get someone to bite and pay $200 a deck...

If someone is dumb enough to bite and pay that much they DESERVE to get ripped off..

IMHO USED DUNES cards with the ripped Tuckcases on 3 of the decks are worth approx $150-$160 a deck and then the other 3 decks $20 - $30 cheaper... I would drop $1000 or $100 a deck on the cards but he wants double that...

Not going to happen from me... maybe some will pay it, who knows, but $200 a deck for Used cards is not worth it to me.. He is not leaving anything on the bone for anyone else.. Its Crazy..

Hey Everyone,

Today was my lucky day!! I was able to come across one brick of Vintage 1st Generation Arrco STUD Playing cards that are TAX STAMPED..

Out of the 12 Decks, I have 6 left to Sale..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271073517146?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

I have talked to collectors and magicians from around the world and have yet to find a single person who owned a used deck of these VTG STUD cards, let alone a deck still factory sealed..

These Tax Stamped Decks Are So Extremely Rare and Hard To Find that these decks may be the only ones left that exist in the world..

I have heard that a similar deck sold at auction for over $500 on eBay about 5 years ago, from a collector..

What made the deck so RARE was the fact that the back design is completely different than that of the Normal STUD playing cards.. This decks are SUPER IMPOSSIBLE to find as is, but to find a brick Still Factory Sealed and Tax Stamped, is simply extraordinary..

These decks are priced to sale quickly.. A collector purchased 6 decks already which leaves 6 decks left for sale..

I was lucky enough to come across these decks from a collector who worked for the Arrco Company in Chicago in the 1940's until it closed in the 1980's.  These decks were sitting in his storage and I was lucky enough to be able to get these 12 decks from him today.   :D

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271073517146?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

UPDATE: AUCTION STYLE LISTING for 1 DECK OF EACH COLOR LEFT..

Remaining Decks Have been Sold or Traded.. Good Luck...


13
He is jsut not reasonable and seems to be greedy.. I dont know maybe he PAID too much for the decks..

Used Dunes in Mint condition will sale for $150 at auction ..

That is what they are worth.. To try to sell for $500 a deck is Crazy...

I made a FAIR offer and I am sure you and others have had also..

But to pay more than $150 a deck, is Crazy.. That is all they are worth and to buy QTY and drop $1000 and pay top dollar on each and every deck is just crazy...

I told him to list him one set at a time and go from there.. It's ashame he won't be reasonable b/c I would love to buy them, but I am not stupid.. I am not going to pay top dollar on 10 decks in QTY.

Check This listing out:

This guy wants $5000 for 10 used decks of VTG Dunes... That is $500 a deck for USED cards...

I try talk to this guy and tell him prices are crazy and explain to him that no one in their right mind will pay this much let along half this much..

A USED DECK in prisitine condition with pristine Tuck sold for $160.00 on ebay last week...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-THE-DUNES-playing-cards-HOTEL-COUNTRY-CLUB-las-vegas-EXCELLENT-/200791289156?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec017ed44" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Others have sold even cheaper...

The guy wnats someone to fork out over $1000 on USED cards and will not give a break what so ever..

I offered him $100 a deck and He REFUSED...

Now he want $250 a deck for USED Decks and if you look closely 3 out of 10 Tucks are torn and ripped..

Unless I am crazy also, but a USED deck of Cards that is opened is not worth $200, and even $150 is ALOT OF $$ for an opened decks of cards..

If It were Factory sealed New for $250 - $300 that is Fair..

Dunes aren't as RARE as he may think...   This is just craziness...

$5000 for 10 used decks... Well he has come down now, to still a crazy high #...

3 of the tuckcases have tears in them so I wonder the condition of those decks? He says Mint, but I have my doubts if the Tucks are ripped,,, 

I am sure I am not the only one to see this auction...

Hey Guys,

Check Out this E-Bay Listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261105021766?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

One Rainbow Deck of VTG Golden Nugget and VTG Dunes Cards..

One Sealed Black Deck of VTG Golden Nugget Casino Cards..

I was able to trade for a few sets with a fellow local collector, who actually worked at the Arrco Factory in Chicago for 35 years until USPC bought them out in 1986.

I was able to trade for a bunch of VTG arrco decks and hope to trade and get more of these STUDS today..

Again, the feel of them is UNDENIABLE and feel exactly the same as VTG ARRCO TAHOES, which many magicians feel are the finest deck of cards ever made..

I was lucky enough to also get some other VTG Arrco decks in a trade, I got  VTG ARRCO "21" Decks, which were Arrcos answer to BEE DECKS..

These decks also have the TAHOE feel, with the linen finish and are FOIL WRAPPED and sticker sealed..

I was able to TRADE for some CLUB CASINO VTG ARRCO DECKS which are also FOIL sealed and Have the ARRCO US REGULATION back design.. These also have the VTG arrco Feel that is so highly desired..

The decks were not cheap to get by TRADE, but are a gem in my collection b/c I know that hardly NO ONE ELSE HAS ANY OF THESE AT ALL, LET ALONE FACTORY SEALED :)

Yesterday was a great day and Today looks to be even better b/c I am looking to Trade for more of these STUDS..

I already SOLD 1 set, to a collector and am hoping to get a few more decks to Sell today or even Trade with someone...

If any serious collector has any of these VTG Arrco STUD decks please do post some pics and let me know how you got them...

The deck was Discontinued when USPC bought out arrco, and USPC changed the design from what I have been told by the collector I got them from..

Vintage ARRCO 1st GENERATION STUD DESIGN from CHICAGO IL



The STUDS you all know from USPC



The VTG ARRCO STUDS have that UNDENIABLE ARRCO TAHOE FEEL with the resilient Linen Finish, the cards are one of a kind and feel like no other..

This design has been known to sale on eBAY several years ago for over $350 per deck from what I have been told..

I am selling one set of VTG ARRCO STUDS for $350 INCL FREE EXPRESS S&H with DELIVERY CONFIRMATION WORLDWIDE..

Email me at: admin@dealingdeuces.com

Hey Everyone,

I hear that an end of an era is coming and that STUDS are being discontinued... I am currently looking for Vintage Arrco STUD Playing Cards that were manufactured by arrco in Chicago. The STUDS have an arrco seal on them and are have a COMPLETELY different back design altogether,,

There is alot of talk about Old STUDS and VTG STUDS, that are made by USPC with the white on the top and bottom of the tucks, there are lighter color old studs which are really kind of new... And then finally the darker color studs that are sold today which are now being stopped..

But the RAREST STUD has a completely different back design and was manufactured by arrco in Chicago, before the Factory was closed and everything sold to USPC..

I have been told that this VTG Arrco STUD deck does exist by a collector who owns some and I am in the process of trying to work out a deal..

Is this just a myth?  or is there a different back design altogether from arrco and the decks were discontinued and printed in very limited runs so that is the reason no one has any..

A friend told me of a deck of STUDS selling on eBAY for $350..

I am thinking that this may be of the RAREST STUD with the different back design..

I am in talks trying to buy some of these decks and work out a Trade, but I simply have not seen them yet.. Does anyone have one of these decks or ever see them?

Is this guy just pulling my chain? I dont think he would do that and I think they exist, but these are not the same design of the STUDS we all know.. these are VTG ARRCO STUDS and they feel better than VTG Jerrys Nuggets from what I am told.. They Fan and Faro beautifully and the cards linen finsih has never been close to being emulated even by uspcc..

Does anyone own this deck I seek? Would anyone sale a set? I am sure they are pricey which I am prepared to pay for..   Please LMK

email me at: admin@dealingdeuces.com

Its sad to see STUD era come to an end but to be able to find the 1st GEN arrco STUDS, would make my collection full circle..


20
Just an update on that auction, that was no the Blue GN deck, that was the TEAL GN deck which is a newer deck and not one of the OLD VTG ones..

The BLUE GN deck is Tax STAMPED and it is EXTREMELY RARE and VALUABLE b/c it was used for the HIGH ROLLERS when the GN opened its doors in 1965  I believe it was...

The Blue GN is a light Blue, and is Tax Stamped.. That is the rarest GN out there...

The tEal is a nice color but it is not the blue GN and the tEal is more common than the Blue GN..
