Few playing cards have a story like these bad boys.
Green version
Story goes that Jerry’s Nugget casino ordered these cards made about 1970/71 for the casino tables. A mix up had them delivered to the gift shop
Side of tuck case
They ended up in a basement for 20 years or so. These packs go for a fortune.
Thankfully “The expert playing card company” have collaborated with Jerry’s Nugget to reproduce the decks. They come in modern and vintage feel. I went with modern. I’m very likely to grab a vintage deck.
They feel lovely. Really. They table spread beautifully. So smooth.
Who knows where this will go, if anywhere at all.
This is now just going to be the blog of a 48 year old GenX cishet fella from the North of Ireland/Northern Ireland/Ulster (I don’t care). I’l l keep the waving my fists at clouds to a bare minimum. There’ll be poems and playing cards, opinions and all sorts. Some of it will be an attempt to begin a conversation. I’m tolerant of opposing values and opinions to a point. I simply won’t countenance thoughtlessness, abuse, hate or edge lord trolling nonsense.
I am extending this little corner of t'internet to include other hobbies, passtimes etc. Mediocre poetry, opinionated essays and dreadful watercolours coming your way.
