1876, Mauger Quadruplicate Restoration Playing Cards
Here is a great set of playing cards that I purchased on Kickstarter. The edition offered on Kickstarter was not offered anywhere else. This set is called "1876, Mauger Quadruplicate Playing Cards Restoration" and is also known as "The Centennial Deck." The artist is Michael Scott and is based on an older Victor Mauger deck. This is the USPCC standard deck with blue black backs.
The original deck printed in 1876, The Centennial Exposition Deck is thought to be the first deck to commemorate a fair. They were made in conjunction with the world's fair in Philadelphia. The deck also commemorated the 100 year anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Because Triplicates were already patented and since Mauger wanted to use indices on his cards he opted to put them in all 4 corners making them Quadruplicates. He also went a step further and like many popular European decks made the pips 4 colors with Black Spades, Red Hearts, Yellow Diamonds, and Blue Clubs.
The decorative ace of spades has the dates 1776 & 1876 commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the signing of Declaration of Independence. It also has the Latin words "Nunquam Retrorsum" which translates to "No Revoke" or "Never Retreat" Condition: New. This is in the original SEALED packaging that has never been opened. I've had them stored in an archive (acid free) photo box during the time I've had them. Any 'discoloration' you see is the shadow of my hand and/or camera. It turns out it is difficult to photograph cellophane without creating reflections and shadows.
