Coincidentally, I got a deck of cards in the mail yesterday that I purchased off of eBay. With this deck, I now have all of the decks from Vegas World (table used, not gift shop) that I know of. The first two I got as a free giveaway the first time I went to Vegas World, on my first adult trip to Las Vegas:

These two Hoyle back designs came in the same pack of cards. One color for the deck and another for the jokers. No idea why. The next I got about 10 years ago off of eBay when I was searching for things to put in a frame with some chips, dice, matchbook covers and possibly a postcard, all from Vegas World. I never made the frame, but I still may. It has a USPC Bee design back:

I knew there were two colors made by Gemaco, but they were always expensive, when I even saw them. Anyway, current state of collecting hobbies and prices have come down. I see a deck which looks blue on the box, but the picture shows red backs. Very cheap. I got it unopposed. Arrived yesterday and it had red cards with blue jokers!! They did it again. So, I have five backs and only three decks!

The red is below my signature. A set completed. At least as far as I know. Anyone know of any other designs? Anyone have the Steffner/O'Neill book to check?

Just wanted to share.
