Note from Roddy Somerville
Cards were supplied cello-wrapped, one suit at a time, within four issues of the magazine "90 Minutes". I still have the cello wrapping! Note how similar in style these cards are to the New Musical Express pack from the same stable (IPC Magazines). - RS.

I have adored playing cards since before I was seven years old, and was brought up on packs of Waddington's No 1. As a child I was fascinated by the pictures of the court cards.
Over the next fifty years I was seduced by the artwork in Piatnik's packs and became a collector of playing cards.
Seeking more information about various unidentified packs I discovered the World of Playing Cards website and became an enthusiastic contributor researching and documenting different packs of cards.
I describe my self as a playing card archaeologist, using detective work to identify and date obscure packs of cards discovered in old houses, flea markets and car boot sales.
