Does anyone here know the history of the Trump decks ( I believe they were Hoyke decks at first and then USPCC)? I Have some ,mostly with the bar code,a few without that say made in St. Paul,Mn. Would like to know generally how to date them and an approx. value. Thank you.

That would largely depend on whether you're talking about the "Trump" brand of cards or cards made for the various Trump casino properties.
If it's the former, they were once somewhat common, but likely disappeared not later than when the company was bought by USPC. Didn't look like an expensive brand, probably a cheaper end line compared with the "Shellbacks".
