Info

I have a collection of playing cards. In that collection I have roughly 2 700 decks in all. (another record perhaps). I wanted to create the smallest "playable" deck of playing cards. It's a standard deck of 54 cards (52 + 2 jokers) and it measures 2 mm x 3mm. (1 mm = 1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inch) It's also easy to read, without a magnifying glass and you have to shuffle it as they do in a casino (face down with your hands). I prefer using a stylus not to ruin the cards and have them sticking to my fingers. I can play solitaire or poker with it as I would imagine I could play any other game... I have an article to what written about my collection of playing cards and this deck in particular (in French). The witness is the journalist of that newspaper. If you need any other proof, as in photos, articles, etc... write to me at Thanks a lot!
