Seriously cool stuff. I also loved watching you with Steve Forte in his Museum Tour on the GPS. The only word that came to mind while watching that was "priceless." Thanks again. -Craig J Newman

I have similar cards from the early 20th century. They have the modern ace though (a little different) and a different joker, but it could e because the cards were used for a card game called 500. The backs were also different (for the game I am guessing) but the faces are the same for the most part

Those are some awesome cards. They should make one of their vintage edition decks look like those.

I wonder if the holder he had the full deck in was the original case, or if it's a late addition.

I have a deck like that, but I need a case to put it in. If anyone knows where I could find one, that would be great. Mine aren't quite as old as yours are, however they are thicker and harder to find a case for. If anyone can find any, comment.
