Hi, this deck of spanish playing cards was a birthday gift from my mom. when I saw it, I was horrified to see that the price had been stuck on the paper! I tried to detach as best I could, even so was damaged.
I like the stave and the musical notes. The packaging is slightly damaged and a big part of the tax stamp is missing, but still is an unopened deck from the 30'. Hope you like it! Thanks for read!
