Hello All...

I joined to do some research and maybe get some answers on several decks of vintage playing cards... they are  "Risqué" cards so still looking around to see if I'm allowed to post pictures of them on this site somewhere.

I worked for a very rich man (he was in the top half of the Forbes 400 list before he died) and I was one of the people who helped empty his house. After his wife and kids had come through and picked out everything they wanted/were entitled to, we had to throw everything else out because the house was being sold.

In the pile that was set to be trashed I found several decks of these older playing cards- being a poker fan i picked them up- but then they pretty much sat in my garage for the last half-decade and I just re-discovered them recently.

Most of the decks have nude women, some drawn some photographic, and these all seem to be from France. There's a couple other decks still sealed in plastic wrap with the letters LGS (I believe) in calligraphy on the cards in gold- with solid dark blue and dark red backgrounds (a blue deck / a red deck). Unsure what LGS means since it is not the initials of my boss or anyone in his family.

Anyway, I'm going to look around a bit and hopefully post some more.
