24.01.2022 Paisley lovers will be interested in these decks which Max posted. It would be interesting to know if the back design is the same as the cover. Thanks Max for sharing

23.01.2022 You really need to read the wonderful summary that Jason posted with this photo of an Advertising card for Harts Squeezers - apparently a mid deal was extremely embarrassing and these cards could help solve the problem. Thank you Jason for describing the process so thoroughly.

22.01.2022 After reading a comment yesterday - Ive now learned that this type of Joker can be called the 'sower' - hate to think what the noise would be like with the Cup and saucer Joker if the saucers fall. Thanks to Alan for providing an interesting comparison

21.01.2022 Oh if only we'd been able to have a meeting today !! Jeff created this wonderful display of Swan playing / swap cards for an earlier meeting this year after my commenting how much I liked swans . He is really remarkable how he chooses different themes for each meeting, takes the cards from his collections - displays them and then needs to return he cards to their safe haven. Sadly we have been unable to meet today wonder what theme he would have chosen for the June meeting ???

20.01.2022 These wonderful Art Deco back designs were kindly posted by Jason - its fantastic to see them in a group rather than in alphabetical order - maybe a need to start rearranging some of the cards in our collections ??? Thanks Jason for the idea

19.01.2022 Its fascinating to see the illustrations on these cards - very interesting art work. The back displays the signs of the Zodiac - thanks Pavel for sharing with us.

17.01.2022 This is a real treat with thanks to Jason and then john for follow up comments - it really is interesting and for those who would like to know more read Jasons comments

15.01.2022 Another wonderful share from Jason who has researched and shares his research through 'The World of Paper Empires' A brilliant document to have not only for pleasure; but also as a resource book.

13.01.2022 For deck collectors with thanks to Marc - happened to comment on his 'growing' collection and the wonderful display unit and he very kindly forwarded a link:- https://www.amazon.com//ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_8izTFbAJFR

13.01.2022 Oh dear - this seems to sum up some card enthusiasts - thanks Ryan

11.01.2022 It was interesting to read Beth's description of an Agricultural calendar on this post from Caleb - thank you for sharing.

11.01.2022 Collectors use different ways to display their cards /decks - Justin has this fabulous picture displayed - leaving no doubt in anyone's mind that he likes playing cards. Thanks for sharing Justin

10.01.2022 There are some extremely creative ways to display ones collection - thanks to Aron for this post - its quite fascinating

10.01.2022 Dave Seaney has very kindly agreed to share a fascinating site that he has established titled 'Forgotten People of Playing Cards' and has included the link if you would like to find out more. Not only has Dave spent an immeasurable amount of time researching he generously shares his research so that we may learn. https://fpopc.weebly.com/

08.01.2022 Some people collect Bicycle cards for their backs - others collect the whole deck - with many thanks to Aron for sharing this post of such a wide variety of Bicycle decks.

07.01.2022 Just in time for Christmas - some wonderful Sarah Kay designs - sadly not on cards - that you could add to your Sarah Kay collection.

03.01.2022 How lovely to see Sarah Kay designs, while not those used on cards, being used to decorate Cup Cakes - a delight for anyone to see.

03.01.2022 What a wonderful find - and so kind of Pavel to share with us. Goodness there will be so many who will have memories of these early card games - seeing the illustrations helped re-live card 'times' when we were younger.
