Playing Card Decks & Ephemea Packs

Today, as we were scratching aroiund the homestead, trying to get things under control, we decided it was time to post some more playing cards.

We had a deck of cards that you Deadheads should enjoy"  The are a 1989 deck featuring a Grateful Dead theme.  Quite colorful and they definitely fit the Grateful Dead memories.

Well, all those skeletons ruffled our collective feathers so we decided it was time to do a few posts the show some of our relatives.

First was a double set featuring little love birds sitting on a branch!  They are so cute!  But, I digress.  They are part of a complete set from your friends across the pond - West Germany.  Oh!  That's right.  The Germanys united in 1990.  I guess this makes that boxed game a true vintage offering.  Here are the little darlings, now!

As if that wasn't enough, we listed a couple ephemera packs of playing cards.  One listing has a chipmunk, baby lions, and Teddy Bears.  The other features boats - sailing and fishing.  Naturally, almost all the cards have other little relatives tucked away in them.  Here you can see the little darlings playing their supporting cast to a tee!

 

So, That's the excitement from the barnyard for today.   It's about time for all the peafowl to hit the roost.

For those of you who are interested in books and magazines in foreign languages, you might want to visit Ostentation and pull up the section on "Books (Foreign Language)".  We decided to make a section just for those items since they can easily get lost in other areas.

While some of those are true antiques, most are vintage and a few might be relatively current.  In this way a serious collector can find the hidden treasure, and for those of you who need some nifty ephemera with a foreign twist can easily locate something to fill the bill.

At this time we have books (and a couple songbooks with the music) in German, Spanish, Swedish, and Finnish.

And as always, if the price doesn't seem quite right, or you are interested in a few, convo us on Ostentation and we'll see if we can set up something beneficial to both parties.
