Still looking to identify a gaffed deck from Haines house of cards. Seen an article by david Goodsell in MUM magazine that he was allowed to view all of the gaffed decks at Haines. Did Goodsell ever publish a list of names for the gaffed decks he had viewed?

I've got a gaffed pack from Haines - clearly a forcing pack of some kind - but I haven't got a clue how it's used - nor indeed why anyone would particularly want to use it.

All of the card faces are 2 of Clubs - but there's a third(!) index showing all cards (when reverse-fanned) to be different.

It was in a lot of Fox Lake cards that I bought years ago - along with another similarly useless pack with the suit colours reversed (H & D - Black, C & S - Red) - was this marketed as a 'Goofy Deck'?
