Aces and Eights - the Vintage/Antique STISO Board / RE: Brown 808 Stag Deck

« on: August 17, 2021, 08:39:30 PM »

Hello, there is a card on Ebay right now that is a brown 808 Stag card, I don't see any reference of the Stag cards coming in brown. Does anyone know if this is a USPC card or a copycat? Thanks for any help.

The Conversation Parlor / Is the U.S. Playing Card Company building in Norwood, Ohio being demolished?

« on: February 14, 2020, 12:19:09 PM »

For a couple of weeks, the old U.S. Playing Card Co. Building In Cincinnati has been used for filming for a Bruce Willis movie, once they finished filming, they fenced the old building in. It looks like they are about to demolish the building. Has anyone heard anything about this? It would be a shame to see that building go, because it is one of the few iconic buildings in Norwood, Ohio.

Can anyone give me insight into the ages of the different bicycle boxes? I have several that the tax stamp Is either missing, or only a small fragment remains, so I am having a hard time attributing a date to them. Thanks.

They are Rider Back, the cellophane is sealed, it says "Gold Edges" on the bottom only, it is a blue deck. The only deck I've seen like it recently sold on Ebay, for $157.00. That is what piqued my interest in this deck. I have been collecting older decks with tax stamps for a couple of years now, and I'm still learning.

Hello Tom, I have an older looking deck of 808 Bicycle U.S. playing cards. The box says "gold edges", the box isn't in great condition, but the inner deck is wrapped in cellophane and has gold edges it is in perfect condition. Can you give me any information about this deck? Any help would be appreciated. I live in Norwood, Ohio, former home of USPC and found them in a thrift store nearby. Thanks.
