Celebrate over 135 years of unmatched craftsmanship with the Bicycle 1885 Anniversary Playing Cards, a deluxe deck honoring the heritage and artistry of America’s most iconic card brand. Designed in collaboration with James Billiter Studio, this commemorative edition pays tribute to the 1885 launch of the Bicycle brand through a blend of historic styling, ornate engraving, and modern printing excellence.
The tuck case is a piece of art unto itself—adorned with shimmering gold foil details, embossed linework, and period-style typography reminiscent of late 19th-century design. Inside, each card features bespoke hand-drawn faces and back designs, inspired by the industrial elegance of the original United States Playing Card Company era. The back design is rich with Victorian gear motifs, decorative frames, and circular bicycle imagery, representing both artistry and America’s age of progress.
Printed on premium Bicycle cardstock with the Classic Air-Cushion® Finish, this deck offers the smooth shuffling, consistent glide, and durability that collectors and magicians have trusted for generations. Each deck includes 52 standard playing cards, two custom Jokers, and bonus historical art cards, all housed in a beautifully printed white commemorative box.
Perfect for collectors, performers, and those who celebrate classic American design, the 1885 Anniversary deck stands as both a playable work of art and a genuine piece of USPC history.
