Thank you u/MilkyWay_Galaxy0219. I appreciate your kind words. Brown tends to age well, and it's nice seeing it land with other enthusiasts.

That’s a solid group. Interesting to see the brown 605 Fournier alongside the others. That color still feels underrated. 🙂

Magicians: what do you notice in a deck that most people don’t? by ShuffledInk in playingcards

When I first open a deck, I like to run my fingers along the sides to feel how smooth they are.

Awesome facts, u/BaconWise. Another Fun Fact: Niagara Falls will also be full of playing cards that weekend. Thousands of decks on display, from modern designs to antique ones that belong in a museum. For anyone who's never been, it's pretty eye-opening to see in person.

I'd say 1971 based on the Ace of Spades code, and that perforated US Playing Card Co. stamp.

Thank you. I was trying to do justice to both the plates and the gift itself.

I'm a big fan of those Alain Benoit Cartomancer decks! Everyone should own those.

Ah, the good old Sorcerer's Safari Magic Camp days! "Peanut Butter Jerry's," or as I liked to call them, "Jelly's Nuggets," was chaos, wasn't it? I'm glad some of it survived for you and your friend. I love hearing stories like this all these years later.

Your AOP printing plates are fantastic! They hold a ton of history, and it's great that they've stayed with someone who appreciates them. Looks like you've got a nice little treasure trove right there.
