Good Tuesday. Another from the stash.

Name: Palace Club
Date: 6.23.2009

Cost: ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
Ebay find. 8$, I’d imagine these decks would fluctuate back and forth. Last set I was bidding on went for 35$,,,,unfortunately not to me. Buh.

Vintage casino. And its white bordered. Quite a bit difficult to come across I guess.

Life/Finish: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○

One of my favorite finish/stock combination. Long lasting,,,still has snap after all these years. I find it amusing that I’m using playing cards which are older than me by probably twice my age. Finish….uhh …hm… it’s the ‘good’ casino stock. In addition, these take fanning powder really really really well.

Above average. Nothing to note else.

Back Design: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○

Once again, I personally like it. A white border casino stock. A solid color backdrop. A casino ’emblem’ logo.  All check +,

Spring ‘Russian‘ Shuffle: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○
“Because the cards go rushin’ by”. or something. Theres enough snap to make a card spring look good,,,as well as ??sound?? Good.

-Palace Club. What an excellent styled box. Blue cards coming in a red box. Didn’t see any jokers. Oh well. These cards take fanning powder very well. Makes fans and spreads awesome. Probably wouldn’t use these for magic purposes due to ’old’ doubles, so you get splitting doubles and bad other sleights. But Xcm gets a good boost. Blah blah blah. What else. Good for collecting, difficult to come by. Good crisp snap.  I wish I had more of these.
