Justo Rodero produced plastic coated playing cards with the registered trade mark 'Celuplastic'. Apart from the different box design and four of cups (shown right), in all other respects packs were the same as their regular 'Naipes Casino' and 'Naipes Habana' brands. The full 48-card packs also contained 2 Jokers.

Below & Right: cards from "Naipes Casino Celuplastic" manufactured by Justo Rodero e Hijos, Buenos Aires, c.1967. The address given on the four of cups and box is Avda Fco Beiro 3855/59, Buenos Aires. A brown 5 pesos tax band [Ley 16.656, 1965-67] is affixed outside the box, and the four of cups has the 'Marianne' internal revenues tax stamp.

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.
