CSO5213	MEDIAVAL PLAYING CARDS 1897. This pack of 52 cards lacks the Joker., never-the-less this is still quite a rare pack as its non-standard court format was unpopular with buyers and consequently there was only a short print run. The cards have been well played with and would rate them 4.5 out of 10. There is no box. There is very minor colour variation on the backs probably due to light exposure. There are no bends and tears but the occasional non-distracting marks on the face of the face commensurate with the rating above.
