Has anyone who collects decks of casino playing cards successfully made contact with someone outside of this group (and maybe Chip Talk) who collects playing cards from casinos. I have tried on a number of occasions to find someone without any success at all. Unlike this forum, it appears that the main groups require you pay for membership before you can use their forums and even ask if there is anyone out there who collects what you are looking for. I really don't like the idea of paying a fee to find out if there is even anyone in that group that collects casino cards (let alone the Aruba casino cards I am looking for). Most of the groups seem to focus on magicians or antique/historical decks. I did make contact with two people who ran local groups and only one even suggested one person to contact. I wrote to that person, but never received a response.

So, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.
