This Hoyle Purple Standard Index Playing Card Deck is more than a bold visual statement—it’s a piece of American card manufacturing history. Printed at the fabled USPCC Norwood Avenue plant in Cincinnati (pre-2009), this deck features the classic Hoyle spade ace, elegant purple tuck, and sharp, traditional indices for effortless play. The Cincinnati-printed run is renowned for its “snap” and shuffle, with a slightly firmer stock and exceptional fanning that’s instantly recognized by magicians, club players, and collectors alike.
As USPCC transitioned to Kentucky, Norwood-produced decks—especially in rare colors like purple—grew prized for their tactility, durability, and as tangible links to the golden age of American cards. The face design remains crisp and functional, true to Hoyle’s rulebook roots. The unique deck coloring and Cincinnati pedigree make this a must-have for any serious card enthusiast or collection.
