I had to dig in to my collection to find a gift for a friend so I figured I would share a few pics.
In the first and second picture all of the decks are sealed except for the 2 Fanning Decks. There are some Pinochle Decks in there but thats just because I am an avid Pinochle player and it is something that I don't mind collecting. The Bee's on the bottom left are the smooth finish variation which is rather rare the others that I have are all cambric. Oh and the Mavericks are probably one of my favorite decks. I have one that is opened and they are some of the best handling cards I have used.
The third picture is a cool piece of playing card advertisement from the 70's.
The fourth picture consists of a few vintage magic decks. One is an old Fox Lake Rainbow Deck very rare and they are in mint condition. The Enardoe Deck is a vintage Stripper Deck and the Delesi is a vintage Invisible Deck.
Don't even try handling modern Mavericks - they're made very cheaply and if you had to faro to save your life, this is NOT the deck you'd choose.
The Fox Lake cards are actually part of a series of assorted magic decks - but the most interesting thing about them is that they're all based off of the Aviator BRIDGE-sized deck. I recognized the card back right away. Here's a British site selling a huge variety of gaffed Aviator/Fox Lake bridge decks:

Drane - shorten the first name to just the initial, spell the whole thing backwards, and there it is, the deck brand name...

It's kind of a common lazy-man's name generator, spelling things backwards like that. There's a company that does construction garbage hauling in my area called Nacirema, apparently run by a rather patriotic americaN...
