Arrco used to use X stands poker of the back design , (X+1) stands pinochle of the back design.
For example, no.84 is tahoe poker, no.85 is tahoe pinochle. no.1 is streamline poker, no.2 is streamline pinochle.
Before I checked my decks I thought No.102 must be pinochle filigree back.
Then I found pinochle filigree back is No.201. What the..........

I've been interested in silver slipper cards for the past month or so and managed to pick up an opened deck to see what all the fuss is about. They look great, but they handle well... yeah, not good. Recently I stumbled across this image:



I was hoping if anyone could help me with some history/background information about this set of Silver Slipper cards. I'm not getting any luck through Mr Google 

Cheers

Background info on the Casino? Or the cards?

Both both....

Just receive my package. All the items are great.
Thank you!

I believe that isn't correct. To check if a deck was really made in Ohio, you check the jokers, and I own a couple of decks that have Ohio boxes, Ohio jokers, and ohio deck, but with a black seal.
Don, can you help me out here?

To my knowledge, there are NO blue-sealed standard-issue decks from Erlanger.  Show me a picture, if you would.  Custom decks are a totally different animal - they can have any seals the designer's willing to pay for.

I just bought 2 blue sealed KY decks a few days ago. I'm not sure what is inside. = =
Here is the picture：

Most intriguing!  I'd wager that someone at USPC caught wind of the bad rep the black seal decks were getting and they switched back to blue.  If I had to guess, I'd say those decks were made pretty recently, sometime in the last 16 months or so.  This would mean they're of better quality than even Ohio decks!

If you crack those decks open, I'd be curious to know what the AoS letter code is.

I just open one of them. It feels better than black sealed ky decks, bicycle stock(as good as crown decks), traditional cut, smooth edge, no off-center.
Does the letter code on ace of spades mean it is a custom deck?

Like Paul, I received an email about HOPC and it included these 2 images.
The red one looks new to me... but the other deck is the Americana deck from Circle City Cards. Any ideas on the connection? CCC may be working with HOPC?

The red back looks great.
