And my bizarre card collection has expanded yet again (with more to come, possibly even this afternoon; if so I'll just edit this message). This time I've added another 乐山二七十 (Leshan 2,7,10) deck, in the "Crystal PVC" format.

I've also added a handmade, plasticized silk set of 娃兒牌 (doll cards) from Sichuan. I'm not even going to try to explain these…

as promised, editing to add
Late in the day a set came in that I wasn't expecting to arrive. These are handmade of plasticized silk as well, but they are [紙骨牌 (Domino Cards)] instead of the "Doll Cards".

In addition to the above, which are Chinese cards, I snagged a poker deck from India which is not in the album because, you know, not a weird Chinese playing card deck. I will also not be putting the image here because it could be considered NSFW for those workplaces who think classic Hindu texts on virtue and gracious living are bad. Follow the link iff you're OK with Hindu holy texts being illustrated. On poker cards.
