1. Good. One corner of virtually every card has been eaten or worn by something. Otherwise don't seem to have been used too much but do have some wear and discolouration. Packet has some tears and stains but is mostly complete. Nice lot. 2. Fair. Missing the top flaps. Folds and worn. Nice clear print though. Good piece of advertising. 3. Good. Some wear and folds. A few little tears and marks. Nice print. Good looking item. 4. Fair. Missing the top flaps. Tears and marks. Some stain. Folds. Nice colours. Front and back display pretty well. 5. Good. Packet is worn. Missing the top flap. Some tears and marks. Cards inside have been used for playing 500. The red 2s and 3s and the black 2s, 3s and 4s are all in quite good shape while the rest of the deck are heavily worn. Must have been a lot of Reschs drunk while playing cards with these! Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
