Help needed: poker gamecards reference

[R_M]

Hi people!
I am finally of the academy, and have again time to spend on my painting, and am in the middle of developing a pic.
I have been looking around for some reference shot of classic game cards, but can't find any on the internet, and I don't have a deck at home.
I need the 4 queens, you know Spades, Diamonds and so on.. do You know any place where I can find them? don't care if the resolution isn't huge, anything will do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yeah, go to a Walgreens or Eckerd's (depending on where you are in the U.S) or another local drugstore and ask for a Bicycle Poker deck of playing cards. Bicycle cards are pretty much the standard. Another way is you can go to a casino and ask for an old deck. It'll come with a hole punched trhough all the cards (so you can't cheat) but they'll usually put the hole through the border and not the pictures.

Thanks for the advice Jarvis, I didn't know the old casino deck thing...
Anyway it turns out a friend of mine has a deck I can borrow so no more help needed :D

Glad to hear you found references. The way I knew about the casino thing is that was how my grandmother came to own a good dozen decks of cards.
