Playing Cards for Canasta

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Exchange: A Forum for Antiques and The Arts : One Thread

We have obtained a deck of Canasta playing cards from my husbands grandfather. We believe it is an original deck. It has a sticker on it with "Sdney Paper Products Pty. Ltd. on one side. On the other side it says" Playing Cards for Canasta The New Card Game. It is kept in an old cardboard style box with two compartments for both decks of cards. It has a different finish to on the card which I am not familiar with. Talking to a friend he mentioned these were ones that players were able to cheat with by putting red markings on them. Would this deck be of any value and who would be interested in it.
