Step into the golden age of American playing cards with the Squeezers Collection, featuring two of the most storied backs in history: the Bulldog and the Angel.
Born in the late 19th century from legendary companies like New York Consolidated Card Co. and A. Dougherty, Squeezers decks pioneered the corner index—a breakthrough allowing players to “squeeze” their hand and read cards easily. The Bulldog back, minted in 1877, humorously commemorates the merger of two fierce rivals, depicting chained bulldogs named Squeezer and Trip—each straining toward their own doghouse, symbolizing their sales territories and famous competitive agreement.
The Angel back, with its four detailed angels, celebrates artistry and elegance, carrying subtle one-way design and vintage style that made Squeezers a longtime staple in American homes and magic acts. Both decks, now made by USPCC, deliver classic handling and an authentic connection to America’s card-playing roots.
