I'm going to have to start wearing a bib when I visit your thread Jase....

While I do love old cards they definitely take a back seat to newer decks for me... Except your collection good sir. You've posted more beautiful and interesting old decks than I ever realized existed. It makes me wish I started collecting a few decades ago.

Jock1971 · Unread post by **Jock1971** » Thu Jul 07, 2016 5:38 am

I`ve been under the weather recently with the flu

Thanks for the kind words regarding my collection my friend

...i also wish i had started collecting decades ago

...you know i only started this thread because i thought i`d never get asked to be collector of the month (which started around the same time) i honestly thought the cards that i posted would be laughed at...but with the help and encouragement from a few members i plodded on..i regard UC as a forum for collectors of modern American decks, so when a member thanks me for showing them something they have never seen and likes what they see (even if its just one deck) then i`m glad i started this thread so long ago and it gives me the incentive to carry on..even though sometimes i wonder why i bother

Here`s some cards

First up is a modern jacobs bible deck from Lion playing card factory in Isreal.

1216.JPG

A triple deck set called "Panchatantra"from India produced by 61c and printed by Parksons graphics of Mumbai,all the decks are gilded.

1217.JPG

The third "Moscow" deck, this one is the all white background.

1218.JPG

And a couple of Waddingtons beautiful britain series decks..i will probably post a all waddingtons post over the weekend

I love that you keep posting decks from your expansive collection, especially the more rare ones. I also love how far along you've come as a collector and part of the community. Let's take a trip back in time to some of your first posts from Feb 2014:

Jock1971 wrote:I have only recently started collecting card decks through kickstarter and e-bay. I didn't know what i was letting myself in for. At the minute i have 12 Decks and more on the way. My favorite so far is the Bicycle Arch Angels deck by Tom lane.

You've come a VERY long way Jase.

Well......they ain`t Waddingtons.

I am not sure why you posted these here ? I`m not the best with American decks but...
The Court Cards were used by the American Playing Card Co of Kalamazoo (see some decks here a.trionfi.eu/WWPCM/WWPCM/usa/apcc.htm) Also Russeell & Morgan used these courts on a few of their decks as well e.g Congress N0.404 & Texan N0.45 (see below).
As for the Ace. Sorry but i have not seen this before, There is a advertising joker by A.P.C.C that looks like your ace (a.trionfi.eu/WWPCM/decks10/d08525/d08525.htm) so it could be an advertising ace for a company etc.
thats all i got sorry,As i`ve said i`m not good with American decks,hope it helps

So here`s a set of Texan No.45, published by Philip Morris in 1984 .The set faithfully reproduces the Russell & Morgan Texan No.45 decks from the late 1800`s.
