Opening comment
[edit]where can one buy a four color deck for real world use?
I have bought and used decks where they used black/grey/red/pink for the colours. That preserves the basic red/black scheme, but adds some distinction. (Unfortunately, it was a long time ago and I don't remember anything about the source.)
- Copag is a producer of such decks. --80.109.73.21 18:58, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Four-color decks are also available for the visually impaired. The index can be a letter/number of the appropriate color, and can be larger (and thus, more easily recognized) than a letter/number and a similarly sized suit. ILA's Low Vision Playing Cards are one example. -- Darin McGrew 05:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Picture
[edit]Somebody needs to edit the picture so that it doesn't obscure any text. I'd edit it myself, but I have no idea how to. JaeDyWolf (talk) 01:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Earliest Four-color No-revoke Deck
[edit]The current article states that the earliest No-revoke deck in the US is the Seminole Wars Deck, dated 1819. I found the same deck in the Albert Field Collection of Playing Cards in the Columbia University Library dates the deck at 1801. I'm not sure which dating is correct.
Additionally, the earliest in the US seems of dubious value compared to the earliest deck worldwide. The aforementioned Albert Field Collection includes an English deck published by Rowley & Co in 1765. Beccaroni (talk) 20:24, 9 September 2026 (UTC)
