1876 Mauger Centennial 1st Worlds Fair Exposition No Revoke Playing Cards NY
HOCHMAN SX1 Low Grade Mauger Centennial Historic No Revoke Deck.
Famous centennial playing cards made by Victor E. Mauger of New York c.1876 in connection with the International Centennial Exposition.
The very first World\'s Fair, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Here is what Dawson/Hochman has to say about these cards in the chapter on Exposition and World\'s Fair cards:
\"These are the first known American cards that commemorate a fair or exhibit.
They have standard faces but are unique in two different ways. They are called \'Quadruplicates\' because they feature four corner indices. This was unusual as four way indices, which became popular on European cards, were rarely used on U.S. cards. This was also very innovative as at that time indices were only beginning to be used on playing cards.
The deck also features four different colored suits -- the spades are black; the hearts, red; the diamonds, yellow; and the clubs, blue. The Joker, used also in their standard cards . . ., shows George Fox, a popular entertainer of the day.\", but is not included.No Box.
Because of its four different colored suits, the deck is also a \"no-revoke\" deck, and thus discussed by Dawson/Hochman in that chapter of the Encyclopedia as well. As one would expect, the cards are wide, measuring 90mm x 62mm.
The deck has 52 of its 53 cards (Mauger Joker missing).
.
The condition is fair or acceptable shape, but is surface worn, gold edges soiled & worn, age soiled faces and backs, slight surface abrasions, a few slight water stains, Faded pips and suits and only 1 creased card.
Owning such a deck in any condition would be a huge undertaking considering its historical significance and scarcity, Only a true serious card collector would invest into such a period piece such as a Centennial Mauger Playing card deck.The backs are acceptable and because this deck is Complete, it\'s one of most sought after decks.

Collecting playing cards can be a very rewarding hobby. There is the excitement of the hunt for new decks, whether through collectors\' meetings, internet sales or at shows and flea markets where every new table may unfold the unexpected treasure. Even better, there is the enjoyment of fellow collectors, some of the most interesting people in the world!
Playing cards have been around a thousand years or more and are infinite in their variety. This makes individual playing cards and complete decks rich in history and every bit as collectible as coins and postage stamps.The Price Guide for Collectible Playing Cards is intended to be a basic resource for collectors of playing cards and decks of playing cards and to give at least some idea of what different decks of cards may be worth among other collectors.
Some advice for both buyers and sellers. “advice to buyers .... if you see a deck that you really want for your collection and you have an opportunity to buy it, and the price seems higher than the listed value, remember you may never find another .... and if you do, it will probably be for more. Even if you overpay slightly, it will not be long before the value will surpass the purchase price
The demand for old and rare playing cards far exceeds the supply, and we have all experienced regret, on occasion, for not paying the additional dollars necessary to purchase a scarce deck that we have not had another chance to buy.
The prices of standard decks are more difficult to estimate than those established for popular categories such as transformation and insert cards, souvenir and railway cards and advertising decks. Non-standard decks usually have beautiful and/or interesting courts, can be of historical significance and often appeal to more than one group of collectors.
A final point. We believe that values for good decks will only rise. Scarce items only become scarcer, and as more people realize the joy of collecting playing cards and become serious collectors, the demand for old and scarce decks, especially ones in excellent or better condition, will continue to grow and drive prices upward!
