Hey all.
What playing cards (regular deck of 2 to Ace, special decks like SKIP-BO, or enhancement games like Magic: The Gathering, etc.) or card games (Gin Rummy, Pinochle, or magic tricks even) do you like/have memories of?  Or even game shows with cards (Gambit, Card Sharks, etc.) or video games with cards?  Or if you just have memories of certain decks you used to play with mom/dad/grandma, or have card playing tips you'd like to share or have card-playing gambling memories/tips.  Post it all in pics/memories/videos.

I used to play these decks a lot:
BICYCLE

HOYLE

MAVERICK

BEE

I used to enjoy looking for unique Joker cards!  Like Hoyle's:

Post away with your cards anecdotes/pics/vids.

 I enjoy poker. 5 card draw is my favorite.
I enjoy Black Jack too.

I have a lot of cards based games. When I have some time I'll try and get a photo of them but they include Star Wars, Fallout and Jack Daniels themed playing cards, Magi: The Gathering, A Vampire the Masquerade one, Exploding Kittens, Munchkin Cthulhu, Kung Fu, Vampire & Conan, Cards Against Humanity, Monty Python & Firefly Fluxx, Uno. No doubt there will be a few others I've forgotten about, but that's a fair chunk of them.

Before solitaire came standard on every PC, I used to play it with real decks of cards. I sometimes miss the feel of shuffling them.

MTG, Family Business, Rummy, Go Fish, Old Maid, Indian Poker, vintage Garbage Pail Kids, some old Star Wars cards, my buddy once gave me a deck of playing cards with infamous murderers on them but I threw them out a car window. Someone else brought me back a deck used for Blackjack in Monte Carlo but they just looked like ordinary cards and they got used and lost. I also collect Tarot decks and know how to read the cards, as opposed to those who "instinctively" make up meanings as they go, their astral teachers whispering answers in their ear as they divine fortunes.

Probably these then:

Or these:

I have pretty much every kind of unusual card deck in a drawer in the kitchen.
I remember as a kid going into novelty stores where they had very adult decks of cards-- and also those novelty pens with a design of a scantily clad woman, and when you tip the pen upside down the clothes fall off..

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
