The picture of the aces is for illustration only. He lent me these cards from an open deck to scan.
The key to the rarity is as follows. It is normal practice for a card manufacturer to have their logo on the Ace of Spades. For years, Playboy negotiated with Fournier to have their name on the Ace of Spades instead. Finally Fournier agreed, and as you can see from the photo of the single deck they moved their logo to the 4 of Clubs. Only one case of these cards was delivered before the Playboy shut down. Not many of those survived (he recalls less than 50 decks), half green back and half orange. The Aces in the decks are as shown, the other cards are normal.
What he has to offer is as follows.
A couple of single decks in each of the two colors.
A sealed box of 4 decks in each of the two colors.
ALL decks still have their individual seals intact.
Feel free to email me with serious offers.
