[saul riffel] Souvenir Playing cards from places

[saulriffel]

Hello again, in this post I'm sharing my souvenir decks from places, they are from South America, USA, Canada, and Europe, a few of them I got myself and others were gifts.
I'm excluding most of the big brands unless they are specific decks for a place, like Bicycle Canada Four Seasons, meaning that most of them are made in china by generic brands and some are made by local small brands.
The first pic is with all of them (actually most of them) together, I'll get into details bellow

I'll start with decks from South America, I have some playing cards from Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil (I also got some decks in Uruguay but they are made by Fournier).

This first pic is all my Playing cards from Argentina, inside the wood box there are bean seeds (for a specific game that I don't remember), both horses decks are poker decks, the other two are Spanish decks. All these were gifts (I've been to Argentina once when I was 11 but was not collecting at that time)
In the second pic, all my Brazilian decks (that are not made by Copag, I already did a post for the Copags), I couldn't find more details about the Mundial Brand, The Blue and Green ones are decks of Football Teams, Grêmio is the blue one (the one that i support) and the green one is Palmeiras. The deck with dogs and cats is from a pet shop.

In 2014 I went to Peru and Bolivia backpacking for a month, here are some of the decks I got on that trip. They have very strange sizes (almost every deck has a distinct size) and are printed in a photographic paper, only 2 or 3 were opened, I'll show a few cards bellow.
The deck was opened this deck, it didn't had with any seal but it was so hard to open (the cards are "bigger" than the box) that I always left to open another day when I had the patience to open without destroying the tuck box, turns out the deck looks great, each card is a plastic work by this artist named Manuel Molina Baspineiro, I choose a few cards to show you above.
As I said, the cards were printed in a photographic paper and are bad for handling, they were cut in different sizes also, but if they were printed in a good finish and paper would make a nice fan. Sure it's not a deck for magic or cardistry, so, for an art deck, I think this is an awesome one!

Now a few cards of that deck

I'll take a pic of the other decks from Europe (Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Russia, England, Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Spain, and Portugal), and North America (I only got the ones from Canada myself, the decks from the USA were gifts)
For now, the decks from Germany:
the three pairs of the left were gifts (By the way, if anyone knows anything about them, please let me know!), the Duckomenta, doppel-kopf, and skat I got in Berlin in 2015, and the Bayern from Munich in 2016.
