History of Casino Decks
iDoctor:
Fred,
First of all thank you for your work, it's very useful and looks nice. Hope you will have enough time to develop it further. As for my interest, I would say you much thanks if you info me about exact production's years of each generation of GNs. From my side I may help with some scans and images which are not presented there at presence (f/ex 2nd generation in brown or Hotel and Casino in red).
As for other vintage Vegas decks, you are absolutely right that they have less differences than GNs. At the same time, I'm sure for some of us it will be interesting and useful to have general database and forum in one place. Might be, it's my personal interest as vintage Vegas decks collector, but I hope not only mine.
P.S. For example, I couldn't find any info about exact years of printing of the purple (Arrco style) Carson Nugget's cards and other info about them. It seems to be between 1959 and 1965, but I'm not sure.

I don't think there are many vintage Vegas cards collectors .. The story of these cards is not well known and nowadays many people prefer collecting newer cards mostly because it's less expensive and we can buy more and play with them :)
I have 2nd generation brown and red hotel and casino, what would be interesting is a list of all decks you have with the code of the ace of spades .. to be able to feed the survey i could give you an access ..
Send me a PM and we'll be able to study that ..
About the purple Carson City i have only seen it once but i never really studied these cards.

Most of other Vegas Casinos 70's cards are like that .. Only Golden Nugget have more than 6 colors and years

Hi Fredv,
I don't normally post here and mainly a lurker. However it itchs me to post when people mention vintage casino cards as its my favourite collection. I believe the other casino that has lot of colors apart from Golden Nuggets, will be Desert Inn. I have 3 pairs (3R & 4B) of sealed red and blue Desert Inn and personally seen other colors like Green and Gold on eBay before.
As for the Purple Carson City Nugget printed by Arrcco Playing Card Company, I do have one sealed. I can provide photos when I borrow a good camera from my friend. However that will only be the tuck box as all of my Vintage Casino Decks are sealed. I have the USPCC printed pair as well.
As for Golden Nugget, if I am not wrong I have all the colors less the first generation Purple & Orange as well as second generation Red (both the "Gambling Hall and Roaming House" and "Hotel and Casino"). Other than that I should be able to help out with the photos.
Having Dunes in the project will be great if possible. I too can provide the photos if you need them.
Hey iDoctor, I initially thought you are River Tsai because of the display picture you are using, as that photo was taken by him. Maybe can try seeking River Tsai's help when it comes to Vintage Casino Cards because he is very knowledgeable and have a wide range of decks (I used to ask him alot to understand more of Vintage Cards).

Hi, Silverboi,
Thank you for your post. I'm really quite charmed by vintage Vegas cards and I'm on a long way of collecting them. My avatar (you were absolutely right, taken from River Tsai) shows my key interest. Unfortunately I have no contact with him and will be glad to get it, if possible.
Always yours, iDoctor
P.S. First GN generation had purple?? Please, PM me photos if you have..

Hello guys,
i think we are on the way to creating something nice :)
Maybe we can start with listing all the types of cards we want to study .. i will contact you via PM as soon as i have enough time .. we'll talk about that and try to list which cards we want to follow .. Nuggets, Desert Inn, Imperial Palace, Caesar Palace, Dunes, Silver Slipper, all these mythics decks !
And yes there is a purple Golden Nugget deck, the rarest, the most expensive one .. the only one i'm still looking for :) (last one was around $300 for a used one)
