Title: Huestis & Levy
Post by: TheBadJoker on February 16, 2015, 10:14:08 AM

A very rare Huestis & Levy (1855) deck just sold on Ebay for $2020. Early American standard decks are still high priority to collectors.

Could you provide us with some photos - or failing that, a link to the auction page?

Great.  Since eBay listings have a way of vanishing over time, I downloaded the photos and will upload them here.
