Bridging Centuries of Playing Card History:
The Great Mogul – Bicycle Rider Back deck bridges centuries of playing card history with a playful modern twist. The Great Mogul brand, first registered as early as 1741, became the standard-bearer for high-quality cards from Europe to India, celebrated for elegance and global export. This contemporary revival features an ornate, heritage-inspired Great Mogul tuck box housing genuine, factory-fresh Bicycle Rider Back playing cards by USPCC.
Inside Each Deck:
Collectors and players will find classic Rider Back cards—renowned since 1885 for their familiar faces, crisp air-cushion finish, and smooth handling. The timeless back design has graced card tables, magic stages, and casinos worldwide for over a century, making it the most recognized and trusted design in playing card history.
Vintage Aesthetic Meets Modern Quality:
The Great Mogul design showcases ornate, heritage-inspired Arabian motifs that celebrate the tradition and mystique of legendary playing cards throughout history. The back design features decorative elements that hark back to a bygone era, while the cards inside deliver the premium performance that modern players demand.
Factory Seconds – Premium Value:
