Description:

We're going on a scavenger hunt! And this one is different than the regular series. For this scavenger hunt, please only send VINTAGE playing cards.

Let's find FIVE different designed playing cards where each one of the five fits into one of the following categories:

  • Animal
  • Flower
  • Landscape
  • Map
  • Pattern (anything except the "standard" blue/red bicycle back)
  • Person/people
  • Transportation (vehicle of some kind: car, bus, airplane)
  • Sender's choice (open theme for whatever you have)

You choose the categories your playing cards represent and please include a note to let your person know the Swap Name, your Username, and which Themes you've chosen to share. Remember, you don't have to match a card with each one—please choose five from the above list.

Also, no plain Bicycle backs. These are for VINTAGE designed playing cards.

Not sure if the playing cards you have to swap are vintage? If they're older looking and a bridge-sized, not Bicycle-sized card, they're likely vintage. If there's a slight wear and tear or even discoloration, odds are it was well loved and vintage. Did you happen to pick them up at a garage or estate sale? Likely vintage. =)

Folks, please put in the comments section any other ideas you have to help others identify if they have cards that may be considered vintage.

RECAP - You're finding 5 different VINTAGE designed playing cards that correlate with 5 different above themes to mail to 1 person

Does that include vintage cards that are advertising for one of the categories, such as airlines, etc. or does it have to have a picture of the category, airplane, for example.

@mamajoy Thanks for asking. I’m not a stickler (I feel like concept would be OK, or so would a literal picture) so I’m not sure how best to answer. Might want to message your partner once assigned if you’re concerned that it might not be a fit within your selected category.
