OBD playing cards, Lima, Peru, c.1976
Spanish-suited playing cards printed by OBD, S.A., Lima, Peru; 40 linen grained cards in cardboard box, slightly non-standard designs based on the Cadiz pattern, c.1976. The name 'OBD' is printed in the centre of the back design and on the box. Cheaper grade cards with exactly the same designs were printed in the 1990s by Pavias►
OBD S.A. also produced Anglo-American style cards for playing Poker & Canasta, with interesting court card designs. Again, the OBD logo is printed on the backs, and the 2 jokers have the legend "Naipes OBD, R.I. 8867 - Lima - Peru" printed on them - see below.

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.
