Spending one's leisure time gathering, forming and expanding a collection is one of the many activities that have long captured human interest. Moreover, this activity has historically been very significant because collecting forms the basis of today’s museums.
Collecting here covers the practical side of building, caring for and understanding playing-card collections. Topics include standard vs non-standard designs; how to identify makers and dates from aces, tax stamps and court patterns; and what condition, completeness and storage mean for value. It brings together step-by-step dating and attribution case studies, digitised museum catalogues and club newsletters, plus notes on pricing.
