[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Best way to braille playing cards

[Ellen Ringlein]

I always use a slate to Braille cards. I slide the card in the slate so that it bumps up to the two right-hand pins. This way you don't get the pin holes, but the card is lined up straight. 

If you don't want to Braille your own cards, you can buy two different styles of Braille playing cards from the NFB Independence Market (410-659-9314, extension 2216).

Cordially,

Ellen

Subject: [NFB-Braille-Discussion] Best way to braille playing cards

Hello,
I have several decks of braille playing cards. However, only one corner has braille on it. I used to be able to find some with two corners brailled, but I can’t seem to find them now, so I’m considering taking a deck I already have and brailling the other corner. However, I have found that lining the cards up in the Perkins brailler is a bit tricky, so I am looking for recommendations on the best way to do this. Would a slate be the better way to accomplish this?
