Most interesting item in my collection is a set-up of Playboy Club Playmate cards. These are 100% plastic playing cards. Each deck features 1 playmate for the whole deck (1 pose), and standard faces, pips, etc. They came to me from my wife's late Uncle in Idaho. We lost him last December, and my Mother-in-Law went down in the spring to see her Sister (the Widow). Long story short, she was told to pick something for each of the "kids" back home to have a token to remember him by and, knowing I play poker, she grabbed the cards, thinking the Playboy aspect would be funny. What little looking around I have done seems to indicate that these are fairly unique, as most of the nudie cards produced were paper. They do not use the traditional Kem Ace of Spades, but Kem is the only maker I have heard of that made plastic cards of Playboy. Starting to think that maybe these were actually from a Playboy "Club" somewhere. Regardless they are an interesting conversation item.
In total, I am currently sitting with 32 set-ups (not counting the Playboy set-up), and two miscellaneous set-ups (logoed giveaway cards).
I think I need some more.
