Q: In the early 1950s, I paid 25 cents each for small boxes of playing cards that have only been printed on the picture side. They are blank on the other. I traded them with other girls. I still have many of the cards. I just took them to a licensed appraiser and he had never seen any before. I need the value. Can you help?

A: You and I are smarter than the appraiser. Trading cards were a popular pastime in the 1940s and ‘50s just as sports cards are today. I re-member getting the jokers from all the decks of cards used by my mother’s bridge game to trade with other girls. Since there is little to no interest in this activity to-day, there is almost no one to buy the cards. There are sev-eral playing-card clubs that meet, have printed publica-tions and collect old playing
