I suppose odds are I’d win 1/52 times (or is it 1/48 with the baraja deck?)

We could balance the odds by playing snap…

What a great project – we should play a hand or two one day – my 3 of Hearts against your partially completed deck. You would win. Let’s hope the quest for the Last Card remains exciting for as long as possible…

A great blog – I will certainly be returning.

Over the past twenty or so years have been putting together a pack of cards from individual examples found by the wayside. Certain rules apply, for instance: if you find a whole pack only one may be kept, nobody else can pass cards on to you. The pack is still incomplete (and includes Spanish design baraja cards from South America which upsets the applecart somewhat). I imagine finding the final card will be a great anticlimax.

Thanks for your encouraging comments.
I’m hoping to get back in the saddle (as it were) before Easter…
All the best, R

Very much enjoyed reading the posts. In several places a turn of phrase, an observation or a photo made me chuckle which not many blogs achieve. (I’m thinking of the forthcoming attractions sign in Southport – which took a while to sink in – I think that’s partly why it made me laugh when I finally looked at it properly).

Years ago I used to think about walking from Manchester to my parents home in Leicestershire. I never did, but I have occasionally thought about making a journey not unlike the one you have embarked upon. I shall follow your further progress with interest.

Thanks
