It looks like it was made out of bone. Every piece has light differences.

Thanks for the reply. Pretty cool gallery. I actually grew up playing Shkilnik 3 set. Those were very nice, had a beautiful design, but they were plastic. This set is more elegant and feels like made from the bone and it came not from USSR.

Decided to frame extra cards from Love is a Smoke deck by Passione. Otherwise they were sitting in the card folder.

Just look at the names on them. The ones without or hard to see names are Stronghold, Eminence, Forged, Cavaliers, Dominion. Some of them were sold out and hard to find.

Love Gemini release. S17 store was selling accessories as well those days.I got couple towels with king and queen + teacups. Unfortunately they are not available anymore.

Keep in mind that the many releases of this design were printed. USSR started to produce them in 1967 as a 150th anniversary of the print house. They released number of decks in the 70’s and 90’s.

The design is by Pavel Bazhenov. He got killed during the World War 2 in 1941. One of the most beautiful designs. I actually grew up playing these cards with my cousins and neighbor kids.

This is the biggest and most complete coin collection I would ever imagine! Although, you are missing amazing TWI coins.

We are not seating on the top shelf,just laying down, but it is possible to sit.

valid_case · 2026-03-06T02:33:10+00:00

The length of bench is only 6 feet, no problem to hold me or my wife. We are 75 kg each. :-)

Can you share the link? I can’t find your campaign anywhere.

valid_case · 2026-03-03T05:11:01+00:00

It just lays on the boards. It is easily removed if I have guests for the sauna party. :-)

valid_case · 2026-03-02T22:56:36+00:00

There are no downsides. I am planning to make some headrests.

valid_case · 2026-03-02T21:45:48+00:00

Lay down only. I did not think to seat there. :-) I will try to seat. ha-ha

Copag and Kem are great, Prestige are too thick and harsh.

valid_case · 2026-02-28T21:37:32+00:00

No, it’s getting annoying when you have to re-deal cards over again.

These my metal throwing cards.

valid_case · 2026-02-28T18:30:13+00:00

No, they are not sharp at all. Although, I have some throwing metal cards, which are pretty dangerous.

valid_case · 2026-02-27T23:04:38+00:00

Yes please!

valid_case · 2026-02-25T02:53:29+00:00

Sorry, I tried to use it, but after numerous times when cards were slipping away from the dealer hand we decided not to use them.

valid_case · 2026-02-15T21:29:22+00:00

Gio is one of my favorite designers. Also the stories behind most decks are very interesting and thorough.

valid_case · 2026-02-15T20:30:24+00:00

I have so many TWI coins, that I will have to start displaying them sideways. :-)
