Americana (CircleCityCards)



"Jack McCall shot and killed Wild Bill Hickok over these cards!
I saw it happen, call me a liar and your next. It was such a problem (people getting shot over cards) that bartenders and lawmen alike were burying and hiding these exact cards from everyone.  While panning for gold in Utah, I came across an old wooden box that had the legendary cards in it!  Unfortunately, as soon as I opened the box the cards had started falling apart in my hands due to decay and rotting. Luckily, I have perfectly redesigned them from scratch and the good people at Bicycle have agreed to reprint them on casino grade paper! Yee-haw!
This deck is more than just a retooling of regular cards!

Custom Face Cards  -  Kings are now sheriff lawmen, Queens are serving beer at the saloons, and Jacks have become outlaw bandits!
Period Accurate Back - After studying old decks, photos, and a bit of inspiration I've come up with a classy and faithful back. The final design will be a TWO WAY back with edges that fade to 'white'.
Gaff Cards - You get to decide! Look at Update #4 to vote!
Weathered Look - Not just satisfied with adding a filter to existing cards, I went all out!  Cracks, tears, faded colors, and stains make it look like you found this deck buried in a mineshaft.
Each deck will have 56 cards, matching custom tuck-box and be wrapped in cellophane.
