Title: Playboy cards
Post by: CBJ on January 10, 2012, 09:51:39 AM

I was watching this auction, but it went way too high for me.. $402!

It also came with some other stuff, but I was really only interested in those 4 red and 2 blue decks

I'm sure most of you know, but the backs look like this

I can see why it's so expensive - those non-standard Rider Backs will never occur again, and adult decks like this are hitting really big on the aftermarket, particularly for major name brands like Playboy.

I really like the back but not the aces at all.
Maybe it because I'm a girl. LoL

Man, these decks are so cool. I will like to get them into my collection.
