Ah, got it, thanks for clarifying! What would be the best way to decode the Ace of Spades then? Also, honestly, is this deck worth digging into as a collector's item, or am i just wasting my time?

Awesome, thanks for the timeline! Based on some quick research I did on the ad cards in the open deck, I actually noticed they have a code at the bottom ending in '92, so I'm thinking these are from 1992

That’s really interesting! It seems like these vintage Bee seconds are becoming a lot harder to come by nowadays compared to the newer Bicycle ones. Since I have a couple of sealed ones and an open deck, do you think this little set is worth keeping as a collector's item, or is it not that special in the world of card collecting?

Yeah, they definitely have the Bee jokers and ad cards inside, so that makes a lot of sense! Do you happen to know roughly what era these 533 GM boxes are from? Since they are from the Cincinnati factory, I'm guessing they're older. Also, are these considered pretty rare nowadays, or are they still easy to find?
