Playing cards...

Any factory sealed deck remains sealed.

Casino sealed decks are OK to open, without damage to box. For gummed adhesive, a hot-air gun or hair dryer, BOTH ON LOW HEAT, works well to soften adhesive to remove with a small knife.

But only if scanning the cards are important, which is often important to see backs, date of manufacture, date of use, if recorded, shade of red ink used for diamonds and hearts ( yes, there are 3 different), joker designs, ace of Spades design, bonus cards (manufacture tracking or calendars) and type(s) of cancelations, and to find out if there are any missing cards.

Whew! Can't wait to see your finished Project!
