Topic: Three Stooges Playing Cards ??????

[misty0143]

Ive aquired a set of playing cards from I belive to be from the 40's.  They are a complete set and each card has the same individual photos of Larry, Moe and Shemp. Theay are in excellent condition.  Could anyone tell me more about these and possible tell me the value?  Thanks.

I would offer you $500 for the set if you were selling it to me.

[misty0143]

Thanks for the offer but several others have offered $1500.00 and up.

Wow.  I had never knew of these before.  That sounds really interesting.  I'm not sure about the value, though.

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents.

[Shemp Laugh]I guess that makes the collective offer something along the lines of $1500.02![/Shemp Laugh]

They sound cool, but very expensive.

I wonder if there are any cards that are made today with the Three Stooges on them?

These card decks were printed for the Stooges, who used them as give-aways for friends, relatives, etc.  There are also decks with Curly and Curly-Joe as the 3rd Stooge. They were made in small quantities and are thus quite rare and valued today, especially a complete unused deck.

Do you happen to know the total made for give aways?  I figured they were very limited.  Thanks.

[garystooge]

There's no way to know how many were made.

As a matter of fact, they do have some new decks of cards out. I received a deck for Fathers Day. I know they are new because they were made in good old China. I heard some of the toy's coming from China were coated with a chemical that is used to made the drug Ecstacy. I licked the cards to see if I would get a buzz, but all I got was a headache and a upset stomach. I guess my cards are the ones coated in lead paint.

Are these the same cards that are in the merchandise chapter of the Three Stooges Scrapbook?

[moe-jo]

where can I get these?

The playing cards mentioned above are almost impossible to find. But if you're just looking for a set of Stooges playing cards you can find them here.

Well, first you gotta finish high school... then go to college... then get a $100k+ a year job... THEN maybe, maybe, you'll hit it lucky.

I'm halfway there and I still don't have these, so good luck sister!

[moe-jo]
