Find of the Century

The title of this post may be a *bit* dramatic, but for those of you who already know how obsessed I am with vintage playing cards... well, you'll understand.
~*~
While in Pennsylvania this past week, I had an opportunity to visit my two favorite antique malls.  I will share more of my finds later in the week, but this was one I just couldn't believe!
~*~
Check it out~ A deck of cards where ALL of the backs are different- made specifically for swappers and collectors like me, but back in the 50s.  Here is a shot of most of them:

Here are more- these are my second runner up favorites:

And here is my number one favorite card to date!

That bunny!  That color!  Those dots!

I am going to hope that you all like me too much to hate me about this, but I have to tell you the price.

Happy Father's Day to all of you papas out there.  I'll be celebrating with my dad and my hubby today at the Gettysburg "Beer, Blues, and Barbecue" festival.  Whoop, whoop!

Thursday's Treasure

You KNOW I've had a lovely day when I have treasures like these to share!  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these adorable playing cards on the Salvation Army shelf.

These make a beautiful addition to my collection, and since I only keep one of every deck I find, the rest will get to be shared with some lucky sosovintage customers!


I just can't choose a favorite... can you?
