In a private email exchange, I had opined that most of the currently available marked decks (Lesley, Wild, Demon, and Symbology) were actually based on Al Baker's "Readers" which he published in Pet Secrets in 1951.
My correspondent said that he thought that Jack Channin had produced something similar, but pre-dating the Baker concept.
I'd love to find out more about Channin's marked cards.
Anybody know about them?
