Playing Card Plethora / TheBadJoker Internet Store
« on: July 20, 2020, 07:49:33 PM »
Hi Everyone;
 
Just a heads up that I have initiated an on line internet store through BIG CARTEL. I will have a total of 50 items in the store and I invite you all to take a peek. I am posting this because each one of you I know has a collecting interest in one or more of the items I have listed. Categories include gambling, playing cards, playing card related items, advertising and the unusual. There are only about 14  or so items currently listed but I will be adding more every day until the total of 50 is reached.

These appear to be an advertising pack from Beirut printed in the mid-1950's featuring scantily clad women. Not a lot of value here but a nice collectible.

A Cellar of Fine Vintages / POTTER & POTTER AUCTION
« on: March 25, 2017, 06:22:33 PM »
Well, it's that time of year again! Potter & Potter spring Playing Card & Gambling Auction featuring the playing card collection of Bob & Rhonda Hawes.

Continental Playing Card Co. “Funny Spot.” New York, ca. 1905. 52 + J + EC. Very good-. Some cards creased and many with scrapes, the 2H being by far the worst. The pips have humorous faces and there is a humorous saying or motto on every card. The extra card has a blue back while the other 53 cards have a red back. Very rare. Remember bidding starts at 1/2 the low price which in this case is $1,750. Hoch.T13.

$3,500/4,500

I too feel the deck is American. It may be slightly later than you think because the man seated might be dressed in World War I clothing. Never seen the deck but definitely cool.

Would have interest in a near mint  1906 deck in Box.

A Cellar of Fine Vintages / POTTER & POTTER MAY 21ST. AUCTION
« on: March 08, 2016, 03:46:30 PM »
Well, it's almost that time of year again. I thought I would post one of the many rare decks that will be auctioned. The Monitor & Merrimac deck is one of the top five rarest American decks in my opinion although an argument might be made for others. In 40 years, I have not seen this deck change hands at any price. Hope you enjoy the photo and by the way it is in near mint condition and there is a leather box with it that might very well be original. Enjoy!

Only looked at half because they were mainly singles. It was crazy. Took this person a lifetime.

A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Playing Card Collection

This weekend I viewed a collection of well over 1 million playing cards.

Just a thought. The 11 & 12 spots could easily have been removed for playing poker.

Sept. 19th & 20th are the dates for the next Potter & Potter auction. This auction is crammed full of wonderful posters, lobby cards, toys, coin-op machines, advertising, chewing gum collectibles and more. Go to potterauctions.com or LiveAuctioneers.com to see this vast array. Alas, no playing cards.

A Cellar of Fine Vintages / RARE PORTFOLIO
« on: August 06, 2015, 10:57:22 AM »
I thought this wonderful portfolio of playing card images lampooning the Axis powers might be of interest. This portfolio is rarely seen in it's entirety. Have included a description of it below as well as a few photos. Anyone know how many may have been printed?

ANTONIO ARIAS BERNAL (1914-1960, Mexico) PLAYING CARD MASTERS, LITHOGRAPHS ON PAPER - Plate signed complete set of 56 unbound cartoons in a large folio, "Album Historico la II Guerra Mundial Illustrada por Arias Bernal" - Caricatures of World War II major figures, the portfolio includes a full description of each cartoon - A noted caricaturist, works by Bernal can be found in numerous collections - Provenance: the set was given to Trygve Lie by J. Resendiz Picasso when he was First Secretary General of the United Nations; Mr. Lie subsequently gave it to the consignor's great uncle, who was his private secretary. Includes all cartoons and the portfolio. 15.25" x 11.5

Yet another fantastic pack!

National Cards (The Bad Joker) Playing Cards, B.W. Hitchcock, NY, ca.1883. 52 + J (facsimile). G+, deck is well used, soiled, and some cards creased or torn. The suit symbols (eagles, flags, shields and liberty) are the same as used in the Union Deck of 1862. Courts are different: Jacks, Navy; Queens, Miss Liberty, and Kings, Presidents (Lincoln, Jackson, Washington and Arthur [1861-1865] ). This deck never comes up for sale in any condition and I know of only one other. Hoch. P2

The response has been overwhelming so I am posting another fabulous and rare pack of cards. Below is the auction description. ENJOY:

Reynolds & Sons “Crowquill”, Alfred (pseudonym of Alfred Henry Forrester). London, ca.1845. 52. VG. Cards lightly soiled but no cards bent or torn. Some call this a transformation deck but it is not listed in Field’s book on transformation cards.  The courts are all caricatures perhaps political in nature. Playing Cards in the Victorian Albert Museum, pg. 42.
