stud playing cards

My all time favorite deck of cards are Stud Playing cards. Recently made a post about finding a couple of decks of them at a junk shop. I finally opened up the deck and and starting using them as my “fun” deck.

These cards handle exactly how I remember them! I could immediately do a table and in the hands faro with the deck!

When I was a teenager, these were the cheapest usable decks that were around. There were cheaper, but those were junk by any standard. Stud cards were made on great stock, had a great finish, and were available for a great price.

I wish these were still available…

Stud Playing Cards – New Old Stock!

When I’m on the road, I frequently stop to stretch my legs and walk through junk shops. I was super surprised to find two unopened decks of old stock Stud Playing Cards!

These were my favorite playing cards when they were available. They haven’t made them in years. I think someone (US Playing Card Co.?) made another batch of them about 10 years ago; however, they were on a different stock than the original, and basically Bicycle Cards with the stud back printed on them.

I’m planning on adding these cards to the stack of nice cards that I practice with. They’ll last longer that way than a working deck that lasts 45mins to a hour.
