NASCAL S.R.L. Plastic-Card No.127
Nascal S.R.L., Paisandu 760, Buenos Aires c.1960-80.
The cards shown below date from the 1970s. As can be seen from the details printed on the aces, by this time the cards were being distributed by Casa Bertrand Domec (Fagoaga y Cía), Tacaurí 127, Buenos Aires and printed by Nascal. The ace of spades has been simplified and a new joker designed.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
