Pioneers Red Playing Cards

They say good design is attractive... but it doesn't have a story - when it does, we call it art. That's exactly what Pioneers cards are. They are so much more than vintage style. They are art. The box is made of exceptional paper that captures the texture of the period with accuracy. Embossed in all the right places to create a 4th dimension of quality. On the back is Lady Liberty, with a phoenix at her feet. In her left hand is the US flag - on her right is the lesser known but equally sharp Chicago flag. The deck is printed on luxuriously pressed E7 paper for a crush-proof yet durable finish. This is exactly the kind of merchandise you've come to love from our cohort decks. But you won't notice any borrowed artwork here, Pioneers is completely unique, inside and out. Every detail and line on the box, card backs, aces and jokers has been meticulously hand-drawn by renowned card artist Oban Jones. The back design is a celebration of the 1893 World's Fair, a 600-acre spectacle dedicated to the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World. It looks like the Pioneers deck was pulled from that gift shop in 1893, locked away in storage for over a century, and gently placed in your waiting hands.
