Experience premium casino-quality cards with a luxurious feel in the Bee Signature Series Playing Cards – Thin Crushed Black Special Edition. Since 1892, when the New York Consolidated Card Company first manufactured Bee Playing Cards, the Bee brand has been synonymous with casino excellence and professional card play. The "92" on the Ace of Spades pays homage to that founding year, and when USPCC acquired the company in 1894, Bee became a cornerstone brand that has defined the standards of what "casino quality" means for over 130 years.
The Signature Series represents a special collaboration between USPCC's most iconic brands, utilizing the proprietary Thin Crushed™ treatment on premium casino-grade cardstock. This innovative process creates softer, more flexible playing cards that feel broken-in right out of the pack. Magicians and cardists prefer these cards for their exceptional handling, ease of use, and ability to perform certain moves with remarkable fluidity.
