Federal 52 - A NEW Bicycle Playing Card Deck designed by Jackson Robinson inspired by US bank notes and currency.

Kickstarter project, funded on Apr 22, 2013 Stock: Casino Bee Card stock with magic finish

The Federal 52 decks also won 6 out of 18 categories from UnitedCardists 2013 Deck of the Year awards: Best Ace of Spades, Best Court Cards, Best Jokers, Best Deck Series, Best Kickstarter Campaign, Best Overall Deck of 2013 https://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4247

The unique artistic style achieved with the Robin Hood playing cards took heavy inspiration from the Bayeux Tapestry - a French tapestry from around 1066. If you look closely at each card, you'll find that designer Jackson Robinson drew every stitch by hand to create this incredible display of artistic achievement.

The tuck case was intricately designed to resemble an ancient book, including life-like features to resemble canvas and leather design-work, a book spine, frayed paper edges and finished with realistic wear-n-tear details.

The diptych jokers from the Robin Hood deck show the legendary first encounter of Robin Hood and Little John. ⁣

The "OG" Federal 52 is an almost exact reproduction of the very first Kings Wild deck ever designed and produced. Until now the OG Federal 52 has never been reprinted and by most playing card collectors and enthusiasts are considered one of the cornerstones of the custom playing card world.

It is with great pride and excitement we have finally reprinted this very special deck to us and to many of the original supporters.

The OG Federal 52 was printed by The United States Playing Card Company.

The only changes we have made from the first edition are enlarged index numbers and letters to help with easier readability. Also, new custom plate IDs and serial numbers are on all of the court cards and aces.

The easiest way to tell the difference between the first print run from 2013 and the new print run is by looking at the bottom of the box. You will find a new add copy. Also, the new print run does NOT have a green seal with the Kings Wild logo.

The quest that was launched together with this product is over and the winners will be announced soon. You can read about it on www.stockholm17.com/room17

The cards are the same from Cartomancer variant, but they have been gilded in France. The deck has the numbered seal on the back. Numbers are assigned randomly and cannot be requested.

This is a luxurious deck of cards with gold foil application on both sides of all the cards, custom illustrated court cards, 3 jokers and ace of spades surrounded by shiny gold. The cards handle fantastic and the light reflected on the gold foiled areas makes the cards pop and shine.
