Ace of Spades Collection

 

Throughout time the Aces of Spades has varied in design.

 

 

IMAGE of ACE of SPADES

Numbers seen on Cards

Initially the design featured a company logo inside the spade shape which had a defined 3 pointed bottom. It has been seen with various numbers written below as well as blank (probably earlier).

Blank, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9A, 10, 13, 13C, 16, 23, 27, 31, 60, 63, 66, 68, 68A, 98

This was modified to have a flatter bottom, still with the same logo inside the spade shape. I have not seen a blank one as all the cards in my collection feature a number.

69A, 71, 73, 75, 75A, 76, 76A, 79, 81, 81A, 84, 84B, 86, 87, 89, 89A, 89B, 90B, 92, 92A, 98

The third numbered Ace changed the design and features a banner with the company name, and MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA at the bottom. Again, I have not seen a blank card as all the cards in my collection have a number.

92B, 94, 95, 95A, 97A, 98, 99, 101, 102, 105, 106, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 117, 117A, 118, 118A, 119, 121, 121A, 122, 122A, 123, 123A, 123B, 125, 126A, 128, 129, 130, 133, 134, 136, 140, 140A, 143, 144, 149, 151, 151A, 155, 155A, 155B, 156, 159, 159A, 163, 163A

the end
