Here is a list of abbreviations
used in our playing-card catalog, along with their meanings. If
you find any terms in our catalog which you do not understand,
please ask - we'd be glad to help.
Also please note ** If a deck is described as "52
complete" then that is exactly as it is, just 52 cards only,
because if it has it's jokers also, then it will be stated thus
"52+J" or "52+2J" etc etc.
