Celebrate American history and premium playing card artistry with this 1/2 brick (6 decks) of Bicycle Capitol Playing Cards, a collector-worthy tribute to a legendary Russell & Morgan brand introduced in 1886 and reimagined for today’s discerning card lover. Inspired by the six original Capitol back designs issued through 1928, these modern reproductions feature Bicycle’s iconic quality and a single, faithfully redrawn card back highlighting the majestic US Capitol building adorned with elegant gold metallic ink.
Each deck in this half brick is housed in an embossed tuck case richly finished with silver foil accents, a nod to the ornate style of late 19th-century playing card packaging. The card backs stun with their intricate mirrored illustrations, lush with scrollwork, laurel leaves, and Lady Liberty at the Capitol dome’s summit, while a luxurious gold metallic ring frames the entire scene. The classic thick border makes these decks as functional as they are beautiful during fanning, shuffling, and game play.
Inside, you’ll find custom vintage-style court cards and jokers colored in black, red, and gold, echoing the original Capitol decks but refined for a modern audience. The Ace of Spades is a centerpiece, displaying a dramatic spade pip topped with Lady Liberty, clouds, and flanking cherubs, along with the historic “1886” brand mark.
Printed in the USA on premium Bicycle cardstock with Air-Cushion® Finish, these decks ensure superior handling, extended durability, and the signature feel loved by magicians and cardists worldwide. This bulk pack is perfect for collectors, game night hosts, retailers, or anyone looking to stock up on an authentic piece of American playing card heritage.
