Anecdote
I bought some more playing cards last week.
These are French: B. P. Grimaud no. 1502. They're a famous deck because they're absolutely gorgeous. I had two copies of them already (plus a third I gave away to my elder daughter), but I bought another one because I like it so much and it had a buy-it-now option on eBay much lower than what they normally fetch.
Grimaud did make other decks (presumably at least 1,501 of them), but I only have one. It uses the regular French pattern as isn't remotely lush.
I now return you to your normal service.
