We had Kathy and Jerry Norrenbrock over Saturday night, and decided we'd play pinochle. I haven't played for over 30 years and Mary Lynn had never played. But, I knew I had cards, but wasn't sure if I had pinochle cards. For those of you who have never played, pinochle cards are different in that they just have 9 thru Ace. Anyway, I had two sets of pinochle cards. I knew I had decks of cards stored in a box in the basement closet. I didn't realize how many decks of cards I had. I had 53 decks in that box! All of the cards are in good shape, many of the decks new. I would guess that around the house, in drawers, I would be able to find 5 or 10 more decks of cards. Anybody need any cards? My favorite deck of all time is in the box on top, with the Ace of Clubs and Ace of Hearts on it. Julie made that box and gave it to me for Christmas many years ago, with two decks of cards inside with "Make Checks Payable to Bob Tabler" printed on the backs. Many of the decks of cards came from Horseshoe Casino, where they only use them a few hands and use new ones. I got those from Chuck Tate, who worked there for awhile. He's in the poker club with me. I also had 5 or 6 decks of Coca-Cola Cards, and one set of Jockey cards. As far as I know, none of them are marked!
