Title: NR10 - Ideal Non-revoke
Post by: skinny on August 11, 2018, 04:11:55 PM

Brown clubs, green diamonds, red hearts, black spades, 52+J+ad+blank, gilded, slipcase, matched pair.

I really like having these and they get more attention than a lot of the decks I have. This might be the last series, since I haven't seen Series "H" or beyond. I can't be sure.

I wonder if Hurd's was the manufacturer or if they contracted out to another company to make the cards for them?  I've heard of this often being the case for decks like this.  I think Arrco and Brown & Bigelow's playing card division (makers of Hoyle) have done it in the past (both are now absorbed into USPC).

Hurd's cards (that weren't Non-Revoke) were found to have been an NYCC printing. I'm going to make the assumption that these were as well.
