Looking for a deck or two of the 999 Steamboats printed in Ohio.
Thanks!
Well, there's the "recent" reprints of Steamboats, as in within the last few years of the Ohio plant, and then there's the regular run Steamboats, which started being printed in 1883 under Russell & Morgan Co., and was eventually printed as a USPC deck. I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I think the originals ceased production in the late 1990s and someone ordered a run of reprints in the early 2000s before USPC left Cincinnati and well before Dan and Dave's print run.
BTW: If it's performance you're after, the D&D decks are better, I think. They're a bit stiffer and smooth-finished with a coating of Magic Finish for good measure. The older reprint was embossed and had the standard coating (Magic Finish didn't yet exist), with a quality probably on par with off-the-shelf Bicycles of that time period.
