Playing Card Plethora / Re: Post Your Collection / Your Newest Acquisitions
« on: September 21, 2014, 05:24:08 PM »
Hi.  I'm new here and a relative novice to this corner of collecting although I'm a veteran collector of other things. Thought I'd show some of the decks I have I like. Apologies if they're common to you.

A relatively modern Cartier pair of decks


My only older Dougherty deck (I prefer no indicies)


A vintage set of Hermes Cassandre cards


A more modern set of Hermes cards


An old Great Mogul Deck (I know they're relatively common but as I said, I prefer no indicies!)


And of course my favorites, a pair of Tiffany Harlequin decks. Although to be perfectly honest, the green deck is missing a couple of cards (Does anybody deal in/trade loose cards?)

Thank you all for the warm welcome.  It will probably take me a little while but I'll find a quiet little corner to post some pics of stuff I've found interesting. The decks I'm sure you know but I've found some interesting card boxes you all might like. Just have to find a weekend I'm not running around trying to buy stuff!

No, not a member of anything playing card related until I joined this forum.  I'm mainly a general collector with many interests, one of which is playing cards. To try to cross multiple interests I try to stick with antique playing cards.  I know they don't take up too much space but if I don't limit myself with all the other stuff I collect I'll have people calling me a hoarder (more than usual)

Thanks for the welcome and the direction!

Hey Everyone,

I'm new here, found the forum doing a google search. I'm from NJ, USA.  I've been picking up older playing card decks here and there and also card boxes.  Growing up playing cards with my grandfather I've always liked them. Once I started collecting antiques and other things I got interested in playing cards too.  Can't say I have a very large collection. I prefer to get pre-1900 complete decks but you don't find them too often for the "right" price.  I do have a Tiffany Harlequin deck I'm happy with and a couple of other older ones.  Just thought I'd check out the forum to see if there was an active community trading decks, singles, etc. Hope to learn a bit too!

Ruben
