[Tall-Corn] playing card slate anyone?

[Richard]

Greetings colleagues,

Back in the old days there was a specialized slate one could get for 
brailling playing cards, such as the standard 54 card bicycle deck you 
can buy at any general merchandise imporium.

I used to have one but cannot locate it these days.  My mother says she 
thinks she still has it, but it is so far not findable.

It's become imperative that I either find that one, or a replacement, 
and it seems that Independence market doesn't carry them, nor does 
anyone else I've found.

It's become an imperative to find one, because I'm a serious cribbage 
player, and i like to start with a new deck every so often, and 
wintertime seems to be card playing season for me.

So, recently when making an order from Independence market i asked for 
two decks of the Bicycle playing cards.  Instead of Bicycles I get these 
plastic playing cards, and although the braille probably holds up very 
well on them, they're really unsuitable as playing cards.  In other 
words, new and improved ain't improvement in this case.

So, I have to find one of those card slates to be able to braille 
playing cards iwthout defacing them or damaging them, and those card 
slates were just perfect for doing that.

Anyone know of sources for them?

Regards,

Richard Webb
