I've recently acquired this first edition Hermes set. It is complete except for the blue decks cardboard case. Anyone have any idea what it's worth?

Wow, really? They currently sell for that new in the Hermes stores so I believe a first edition set will be valued at a bit more than that but I will continue to do research. Thank you for the feedback though, I am just learning the ropes right now and every reply helps.

Lots of these show up on eBay etc so I think the $75-125 estimate is good.

The First Edition would possibly sell for more - but yours is also missing a tuck box.

Great, thank you again for the replies. I really appreciate the feedback I received here since this piece has been a bit unique as it fell into too categories of collections. I confess to not being very knowledgeable about playing cards and I value the opinions that I received here.

I'm looking for a Hermes Set. I've got an excellent Blue deck already but really would like to have a red deck and the box. Let me know if you interested in letting go of it or trading for it.

Rachel, he's trustworthy to deal with - Jackson's executed many trades on this board and made many people very happy with the results!  He'll give you a fair deal, perhaps even better than fair.
