“ Need the McGwire, Sheffield, Lofton, or Maddux for Black Jack. ” -rmpaq5

“ These were a great idea as Texas Hold'em was up and coming. ” -carthage44

“ Nice , he was an Ace too. ” -uncaian

“ These playing card sets are great! I wonder if anyone ever actually used these as playing cards. ” -twinscollector34

“ Don't really know why, but I like this....first time I have ever seen these. For the time, this has a Stadium Club feel. ” -tbshaw

“ Whenever I come across cards like this I'm torn. Do I just look for my players/teams? Or do I try to find the full deck (preferably with case/box)? Like I do with the Stancraft NFL team decks I collect complete (with both jokers) in box. ” -captkirk42

“ It's cool, but again, I am not sure I would call it a trading card. If we are putting playing cards up, should I put up my 1985 Bicycle red back cards with no photo. Are people trading a 5 of clubs for a 6 of diamonds. ” -muskie027

“ Pretty good 17 year career, played one year (2000) for the Tigers. 5 time free agent! ” -Kaline6

“ I avoid these types of sets like the plague. ” -Doc Floyd

Most of these sets came out in the early 90s during the time when it was a real fad to collect everything. They became available at Dollar stores in huge number, at least here in Canada. Yes I have some. Not a big fan of them though.

I like these, but am not convinced all playing cards belong here, if any. I've seen decks for things like Barbie listed. There is a difference between playing cards and trading cards. I know there is a big playing card collectors base though.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

I entered many of these. I borrowed them from a buddy and they are really nice cards. Even though I no longer pursue cards, I may buy these off him.....if he wants to sell.

Don't get me wrong; i like them. I have this deck. It's just one of those where it seemed to open the floodgates to other decks. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year.
