Playing Card Plethora / Arrco deck made in Hong kong?
« on: April 26, 2014, 10:30:12 PM »
I just acquired a couple of decks from an estate sale that I am puzzled about.  The decks are paper (non coated) made by Arrco and include the line "Made in Hong Kong" on the AoS and the two Jokers.  The AoS includes the PLA-MOR line as many Arrco decks have.  I thought Arrco decks were good old American cards.  By the way, the backs are a bad photograph of a Tucan bird.  Is this unusual?  I know, it's only a garbage deck,  but I've never noticed the Arrcos Made in Hong Kong before.

A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Environmental Control for storing older cards
« on: January 29, 2014, 09:44:09 PM »
Is anyone out there concerned about temperature, light, and humidity control for larger collections of older cards?
I use a couple of dehumidifiers near my display cabinets to keep the atmosphere dry. 
I also protect my older decks in plastic boxes that are made of lo-gassing uv blocking plastic.

In more than just a few cases I have found that celo wrapping has been so tight that some older decks have warped
over the years (from previous owners).  Has anyone else experienced this or am I just "special"?   :)
