Yomiuri Giants, Bicycle Playing Cards


Yomiuri Giants, Bicycle Playing Cards. These 2 decks were made by The United States Playing Card Company for the "Yomiuri Giants" baseball team in Japan. These decks are rare were printed in a limited quantity and only released in Japan. One deck has an orange "rider back" design white face cards and black and orange pips. The other deck has a white "rider back" design with the full bleed orange color face cards with white and black pips. Both decks are a good quality "Bicycle" deck "air cushion finish" both decks come with "jokers"and some extras (see video) These decks were only released in "Japan" the are very hard to find and take a lot of time and extra costs to get here due to the low value of the U.S. dollar, customs and shipping. This is the second time a deck was produced for a Baseball team in Japan, the first time was for the "Hanshin Tigers" Those decks are sold out now, even in Japan. If you have one good for you and your collection. I had very few of them to sell and I am now sold out too. I have learned to never say never but I really don't think I will get any more of them again. I am sure that the "Giants"decks with follow the same path and will be gone for good soon, So get them while you can. I do have a limited supply but there are going fast. These two decks are cool, not sexy but cool. As a performer I really don't see much call for these out working. But who care, These are the types of decks that collectors go "ape shit" for we get them never open them put them on the self and so everyone that comes by our prize, Knowing full well that unless they have the same "playing card sickness" as us, they look smile and have no idea what the big deal is! But you and I know. So if you would like to find both decks of the new "Yomiuri Giants" Bicycle playing cards ans well as hundreds of other quality decks of playing cards for magicians, collectors, poker players and people that get obsessed with "small boxes" please visit my store www.the1eyedjack.com
