I was reading about cards made by prisoners out of newspaper and scraps of paper (in the collection at St. Petersburg). These are instances where the playing card is the second use. Gejus, you have samples of these types as well? I suppose you must. An interesting twist on reuse.

Do not believe Rhonda. I had to go to the bank first to steal her cards. But yes, they are special, like the previous owner.

I used to have a small but very nice collection of secondary used playing cards, but then I had a house guest from the Netherlands and somehow my collection disappeared!!! :-)
