I know this is a little new for this board (and me) but has anyone seen this type of card? My thought is it's from the 50's? Thanks much.......leon (now getting into later cards as the old ones are too expensive )

That's the "Two of Diamonds"

It can be paired with the Two of Clubs, Spades or Hearts...

or it can be used in a straight of a flush.

Normally one of the lowest cards in the Deck of 52.

I have no idea why there is picture of a man on it.

Thanks......btw, the man is in a uniform that is a baseball uniform. He is also a HOF'er. My guess is it's just an uncatalogued ( my fave ) playing card set....I've just never seen it before.....any help is appreciated ...except you Hal...you've helped plenty..... later

Nah.....I just hadn't ever seen one and thought it was cool looking...probably over paid for it but got it for $4.99.......crap I've lost 75x that in the last 2 weeks just overpaying for the really vintage stuff....I will leave most or the regional stuff for you regional guys. (have I said "regional" enough in this post?)...thanks again....this board really is awesome......

We've "renamed" the set 1962 Pittsburgh Exhibits. It's listed on Page 134 of the 2005 Standard Catalog. We show it at $60 in NM.
