Bashful Boy

Bashful Boy is my very precious Beagle. He is 5 years old and very active. He lets me know when I am spending too much time on my playing card collection and not giving him enough TLC. I try to work on my cards when Bashful is sleeping so he does not feel deprived of my love. I have more than 3000 different single Dog Playing Cards and many of them are Beagles. I do, however, have more Scottie Dog Cards than any other breed -- more than 1000 Scottie Dog cards alone in my collection. As soon as I can, I will upload some of my Dog Playing Cards for you to check out. In the meantime, you can see hundreds of my Dog Playing Cards by going to eBay and searching under Seller thousandsofcards or by visiting my eBay Store at http://stores.ebay.com/vintage-playing-cards-and-oldbooks. Have a great day, Sally

Playing Cards - A Great Hobby

My name is Sally and I first started collecting single playing cards in the 1950s when I was a little girl. They were called trading cards at that time but they were identical to playing cards but did not have any numbers of suits on the back of them as they do today. My original playing card collection disappeared when I became interested in boys as a teenager. I never lost my love of this wonderful collection and was delighted when my brother gave me an antique book in the early 1990s that mentioned a club for playing card collectors. I joined that club and began collecting playing cards again. My current collection numbers in the thousands and is so much larger and better than the collection I had as a child.

I trade cards with other collectors around the world. I have so many different single dog, cat, horse, pinup, people, paintings, airline, railroad, ship, advertising, and miscellaneous playing cards. I sell my extra cards on eBay. You can get a glimpse of the cards I have by checking out my eBay Store which is called Vintage Playing Cards and Old Books or you can search under my eBay Seller ID which is thousandsofcards.

I will write more about my collection soon and hope to hear from you about your collections as well. Collecting single playing cards is wonderful for anyone who is interested in an exciting yet relatively inexpensive hobby. This is also a great hobby for anyone who is homebound during the cold winter months or who is disabled and has to spend a lot of time indoors. I love collecting playing cards and so do all the other collectors that I keep in touch with.

Check out my cards -- you will be amazed at the wide variety of cards that are available to collectors. Happy Collecting, Sally
