Boxed cards

Mon Dec 11 00:20:48 UTC 2000

Can anyone help find the origin of "boxed," meaning a card that is faced in the wrong direction in a pack of playing cards? What dictionaries include that meaning?

(This question is on behalf one of the editors of the American Contract Bridge League's Bridge Bulletin.)
