Hello Everyone;

I have been collecting and dealing in vintage decks of playing cards and gambling paraphernalia since the early 70's. Bought my first deck from Gene Hochman and haven't looked back. My specialty besides playing cards are Faro equipment and coin-op.  I also play professional poker and have had several cashes in events at the WSOP.

I am currently working with Gabe Fajuri who is the owner of Potter & Potter Auction Co. in Chicago and who you magicians out there know puts on world class magic auctions.  Gabe is branching out into playing cards and gambling and I am writing the catalog for the May 30th. "Devil's Picturebook" auction that will include many fine decks of American and European cards as well as books, gambling items including faro equipment, playing card ephemera, and much, much more.

The Bad Joker arises from the depths of  Chicago. Welcome Larry. We will be trying to organize a gathering of p[laying card aficionados to tie in with the P&P auction. I'll be in touch in that regard soon.
Welcome to Discourse and we hope to see you often - especially in the Cellar of Fine Vintages!
