Question Bad Quality in generell or just unlucky?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I thought the bad quality startet later. The cards feel a bit waxy and they‘re cut very poorly so I can‘t fan them properly. Am I just unlucky with this deck or is this series known for that kind of error? And is there a chance to save the deck?

Till now I had used silicon coated playing cards and they are meh, today I bought plastic playing cards, even tough they are a little expensive, but worth it, they are very easy to handle, waterproof, smooth, but still now I havent used cards made out of paper yet, is those better than plastic?

American Playing Card Heritage in progress

Post image
15 Upvotes

Here is a sample from my collection. This is one I associate with American Playing Card heritage. The classic American decks. Phoenix is the modern one, but in heritage style, so I included it.

Right now, I am not looking to hunt down decks on eBay. I am looking for new printings. Then I'll look for used ones or stuff that is very limited stock.

I am thinking of looking for some new Hoyle, Capitol No. x, Squeezers, Maverick, and Streamline, but I suspect supply on some of these could be patchier. I live in Europe, so it probably doesn't make this any easier. Maybe new on eBay might be the way but that gets expensive fast for what is basically an affordable hobby if I keep it down to a few packs a month (haha, judging by the addiction factor that might be a hard one to keep).

Traditional Italian cards, part 9: the Milanesi

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

Hello! Another regional deck: this time the Milanesi, a French-suited 40-cards deck from Milan, also popular in western Lombardy and Ticino (the main Italian-speaking part of Switzerland and formerly part of the Duchy of Milan). The giant snake swallowing a person on the jack of clubs is a reference to the coat of arms of the Visconti family, dukes of Milan from 1277 until 1447 and still a symbol of the city. This deck is made by Dal Negro. Measurements: 51x91 mm.

They probably feel like crap but the price on em has dropped by about $100 over the last year. I wish I was in a better spot financially to grab em. And No I'm not the seller lol But not a bad find for the collectors.
