Hallmark Aces

While Hallmark Playing Cards don't inspire much nostalgia in me, especially in a partial pack, the three Aces included (Spades, Clubs and Hearts) and the Phyllis Diller-esque Jokers were worth the 25 or 50 cents I paid for them.

I never liked the cutesy adolescent designs on Hallmark products but I suppose that they were suppose to encourage happiness in housemothers, grandmas and little girls named Susie. The little elfin child watering the garden on a checkerboard pattern would do just that I suppose. Just not for me.

Now if I could find a Trump 777 pack from the brand I wouldn't seem so dour about Hallmark and their card sets.
