Dear all.
At this year’s 11th European Open Sports Bridge Championship, I will have the pleasure of presenting more than 200 card decks from all over the world. I have been collecting them for 17 years. Currently, the collection has more than 1,700 decks from 113 countries around the world, including such interesting corners as Andorra, Cuba, Sri Lanka, Vanuatu, Vatican City, Greenland. The most interesting exhibits will be cards from the late 19th century (1870)and early 20th century. These are sets in very good condition. You will also be able to see cards from 2025. These are definitely collector’s items. I presented some of the cards in the last three issues of “World of Bridge”. Previously, you could see some of them at the Poznan Congress in 2023 and 2024. I will be at your disposal on June 21-22 and 28-29. I will try to answer how the cards were created, what are the designs, where you can buy collectible cards and antiques. I also invite you to watch the exhibition, residents of Poznan and the surrounding area, who can treat some of the cards as works of art.
If you have interesting cards in your collections and are willing to contribute them to my collection, I will be very grateful.
See you in Poznan.
Grzegorz Samol
