Any playing card collectors here?
Went to Wichita and picked up my late brother's playing card collection to sell for my sister in law. 
Currently sorting them putting them in like piles, have about 2,000 decks to go through. Have stuff from
the 1800's to the newest which is year 2000.
Drop me a note if you're interested in any type of playing cards.

A few years ago I went through a phase of drawing the Queens, & spent lots of time looking through card decks online, studying the differences. I would love to look through your older decks!
