Price Guide for Collectible Playing Cards: Volume Ii: Standard Souvenir

By Harry Wastrack

Playing cards have been around a thousand years or more and are infinite in their variety. This makes individual playing cards and complete decks rich in history and every bit as collectible as coins and postage stamps.

The Price Guide for Collectible Playing Cards is intended to be a basic resource for collectors of playing cards and decks of playing cards and to give at least some idea of what different decks of cards may be worth among other collectors.

Volume I presents examples of different decks in the categories of Advertising, Humor, Patience, Pinup, and Transportation.

Volume II presents examples of different decks in the categories of Standard and Souvenir.

Volume III presents examples of different decks categorized as Non-Standard.
