Design & Development / Options for Creating a Single Custom Deck
« on: June 21, 2015, 03:52:03 PM »
Hello all, I do hope you can help me, or, more specifically, my niece, with some great information. My niece knows how much I love playing cards. She would like to make / pay for a single custom deck of playing cards with family photos on the court cards and a simple text-based back design for my collection. At one time she had a website link to a company that did this sort of thing, but now that link is broken. Do you have any suggestions on companies who make affordable single custom decks? Any information would be appreciate.  Thanks for your time.

Introduce Yourself / Hello Everyone

Just wanted to say "hi" to everyone here.  My name is Alan and I'm a member of the 52 Plus Joker playing card collecting club.  I really do enjoy collecting playing cards.  I live in northwest Arkansas and continue to build me collection whenever I can.  I'll buy just about any deck of cards, except for ones with animals on the back, just not to interested in those.  However, what I really go after are the following:
Casino decks
Rail Road decks
Airline decks
Sports decks
World's Fair decks
Send me a message some time and I'll help you out if I can.

A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Re: Wild Bill Hickok Deck?
« on: March 03, 2014, 09:18:26 AM »
Y'all are doing great work on trying to find "the" deck that Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he shot and killed in Deadwood.  I would like add my two cents to this string.  As mentioned earlier, Bill was killed in August 1876 in the Deadwood camp in Tom Nuttall's #10 Saloon.  According to the extra footage on the HBO Deadwood complete DVD series, the entire Deadwood camp burned to the ground in 1877, including the chair that he was sitting in when he was killed.  The camp did have a very heavy water pump wagon, but because it was so heavy and cumbersome to use, it was left behind and burned as well.  I speculate the original cards / deck he was holding / playing with burned up in the fire of 1877, unless they were on the person of Calamity Jane of Tom Nuttall as they left the camp and the fire.  That's a possibility.  I believe it is going to be very hard to find the actual deck Wild Bill had in his hand when he was killed.  Would be an awesome find, if we can find it, but I would classify it as ultra extremely rare, based on the fire that wiped out the entire camp.
