A Cellar of Fine Vintages / The Golden Nugget Survey
« on: October 21, 2013, 08:53:50 AM »
Hello,
i'm a quite new playing cards' collector and i quickly fell in love with the cards from the 70s.
Jerry's Nugget are nice but expensive, Dunes are really nice looking but also really rare, then there are the Golden Nugget.
I have decided to have a look at these playing cards because of the big number of colors and a wider availability.
The problem is that there are many colors, different versions, different quality and nobody really knows what is the rarest color or when each color was produced. Is the red more common than the black one ? Is it possible to have a brown one > 1970 ?
You can find good articles on this forum, on other forums and on several web sites, but no article can tell you exactly the beginning or the end of the production of a specific color.
Then i had the idea of a survey. If a big number of Golden Nugget owners could tell the color, tax stamp, and year of their deck, maybe we could have statistics about these wonderful cards.
If you want to be part of this survey, feel free to send me via private message the list of your Golden Nugget deck with :
color / type of tax stamp (old style or new style) / type of deck (Downtown or 2nd And Fremont or Atlantic City) / letter and number on the Ace of Spade (if the deck is not sealed)
If i can get enough information or at least some people are interested, i will start a website to try and create the most complete documentation about Golden Nugget.
Thanks in advance to be part of such an interesting survey for vintage playing cards' lovers
