Title: [ISO] Steamboat 999 deck with green plaid back and no J
Post by: Chuqii on December 05, 2016, 04:22:53 PM
I've got a joker that needs a home.  Looking for a nice condition green plaid back Steamboat 999 c.1895, Hochman US7a with the United States Printing Co. Ace of Spades.  Looking to buy or trade.
I'm not trading the joker, just looking for a deck to go with my joker.

Just for clarity, you have the joker, you need the matching deck, you're willing to buy or trade to get it.

Because the way you phrased it, it could be interpreted (or misinterpreted) that you're willing to trade the joker away to get the deck...

Hi Chuqii!

... Not sure this is what you are looking for, but thought I'd post it anyway!

I'm a bit colour blind (for real), so it's hard for me to tell 100% if this back is a match! ... Also, I think your joker might be from an older Steamboat deck ...?

Anyway, this one comes with a damaged/repaired box (top flaps missing) There is a small crease in the 3H top right corner in the photo. Other than that, I think the deck is in very good condition! ... No joker, of course!

... Let me know if you are interested! - I'll take some better pictures! ;)

Thanks for the offer, Kruser.  I fixed post to reflect I am looking for Hochman US7a with the United States Printing Co. Ace.

Happy Hunting!

You've inspired me to perhaps try to find a joker to complete my deck!

... Too bad no one seems to want to part with Steamboat jokers!
