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.

I have about a dozen & a half decks I've gotten over the years, including my mother's pinochle set. 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!

I really like the more historical cards like the decks by Piatnik. I only wish they were easier to shuffle.

I really like that they print the names of the Royals on the face cards.

Hearts and Diamonds are Christians, while Spades and Clubs are Muslim. The artwork is very nice and colorful. It's worth looking for.

I really like the way they handled the Jacks. Each one represents a different country.
