How can you tell how old a playing card is?
The easiest way to tell the age of a deck of cards is probably by the back design, and a general knowledge of what has been produced in which eras. It must also be kept in mind that the same designs were sometimes discontinued and then reintroduced at a later date. This can give you a clue as to when they were made.
Does the cold warp cards?
