In 1999, following the release of the adult comedy crime caper “Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels”, Universal Pictures (UK) released a special ‘limited edition collectors set’ based on the film contained within a large hinged box containing a VHS video tape of the Director’s cut of the film, a script book of the film, custom poker chips and a deck of rather nice custom poker sized playing cards.

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.
