Playing Cards

Jake collects playing cards.  We always buy a deck when we travel.  Sometimes that’s easier said than done – especially when most of a trip is planned out with other folks, or if we’re on a cruise stop for just an afternoon.  He’s also collected interesting playing cards at thrift shops and game stores.  Sometimes I look at cards as gifts for him, and I’ve found some that appeal to me as well.  Here’s some of the cards from my wish-list that I think are the coolest.  Some of these are educational, such as cards that have survival tips, stargazing info, or photography cheat sheets.  Some represent my interest in literature, coffee, and art.  And a lot of them just look cool.
