Hello,

there is a work in progress to upgrade this with many new information, statistics, histories, pictures ..

Maybe it will be released before the end of summer :)

We've had countless articles here written about the Golden Nugget series of decks.  Perform a search for them from the home page and peruse them yourself - you might find even more quality information on the subject.

Perhaps we should even begin a bit of consolidation of the various topics...  I find it better to keep each deck to a single topic for future readers like yourself to find them more easily.

iDoctor:
It would be great if you consolidate some popular topics, like Golden Nuggets or other vintage Vegas cards. There are a lot of different articles and sources but at the same time it's not easy to find correct and complete information. Above mentioned source, for example, is incomplete and doesn't contain certain info (about stamps and certain production years) and pics of some GN decks (f/ex Hotel and Casino in red).

iDoctor,
the work is still in progress and may be published sometime this year .. if Lee and I have more time :)

As far as Golden Nugget cards are concerned, i think we have a quite exhaustive view of which year for which color. We have a survey with around 200 decks (seen on ebay, or in collections), and we are less and less surprised about new items we can find.   If you have a collection of GN you may help if you want ..

About other Vegas vintage cards, yes it could be interesting, even if there are not many casinos with as many differences as Golden Nugget ..

Jerry's Nugget, for example, are quite easy : two colors, one year of production. Period.
Most of other Vegas Casinos 70's cards are like that .. Only Golden Nugget have more than 6 colors and years
