1988 Adobe Playing Card Info

[jphj012]

Good evening everyone. I have started to collect playing cards recently and recently acquired this rare 1988 Adobe Playing Card for a steal! All I have to stay is the colors are vibrant and its a very odd and unique deck. I know Adobe has manufactured this deck in 1988 as a promotional item to advertise their Illustrator and PostScript software. Nevertheless, this is a cool piece. I doubt these are fake (unless someone else can prove me wrong) and happy to own this unique piece. Enjoy the pictures.

I've actually seen images of this deck elsewhere.  It is a rather rare find these days!

Due to the age of the deck, I'm moving the topic into A Cellar of Fine Vintages - I hope you don't mind!  Generally, that's the home for all decks over 20 years old.

No problem. I apologize if I have posted in the wrong section.

This is a great deck and hard to find. One of the suits [Spades] and one Joker were designed by Ruth Kedar, a member of 52+J. She went on to design a full deck which is spectacular called Duolog.

Looks like your deck is complete. It is worth well over $100 mint.

Nice find!

That is a great find !  I have met many collectors who would love to add an Adobe deck to their collection.  While not a deck of "classic" or common design, it is very cool and quite rare.  Tom's suggestion that it may be well worth more that $100 mint, seems to be correct, if not conservative.  If the deck is currently in mint condition, take good care of it.
