-1-

 

These first examples will give you a rough idea of what we mean by "anomalies". We'll begin with some photo inserts. They seem to have been a popular modification in the 1960's and 70's.

Published by Ed-u-cards in 1965. The courts have a repeated series with the faces  of the main actors from the TV-series "The Man from U.N.C.L.E".
The Aces - 10's show different "action photos", 2 jokers.

Edu-cards has published another deck, called "The Monkees", dedicated to the pop group with the same name. Although this deck has regular international patterned courts, the number cards show a repeating series of b/w photos of the group and its members.

Published by Ed-u-cards in 1966. The courts have a repeated series with the faces  of the main actors from the TV-series The Green Hornet.
The Aces - 10's show different "action photos", 2 jokers.

 

The "Laugh"-in" deck was published by Stancraft in 1969. The courts have a repeated series with the faces of American comedians, who's names we don't know, unfortunately.
