Circleville Pumpkin Show 2004 Playing Cards - SOLD OUT
Description
We have sold out of this deck of Pumpkin Show playing cards from 2004! If you didn't pick up a deck yet then sorry, you are out of luck. If you already have this deck you may want to hold on to it as it is collectible.
This was the deck that started the Pumpkin Show Playing Card craze for us! To view more about other Pumpkin Show Playing Cards go here. The deck itself had normal card faces but had souvenir card back design. This limited edition deck of normal face playing cards featured artwork by U.K. playing card artist Peter Wood. The deck was sold at the Circleville Pumpkin Show and we have SOLD OUT.
To add to the value the deck of cards they are enclosed in a matching tin that has the same artwork on it. There is a gold label inside each tin numbering it as #? of 500 along with a Certificate of Authenticity.
What makes them even more valuable is the fact that we really only started with 430 of the decks/tins because of an error at the printer. There was supposed to be 500! So if you have one of these decks you have a VERY limited edition.
P.S. The Circleville Pumpkin Show is located in Circleville Ohio and is one of the largest festivals in the United States.

What is the Difference between Bridge and Poker Sized Playing Cards?
Often times the size of a playing card is referred to as a "narrow" or "wide" deck of cards. While the narrow/bridge decks (2-1/4" x 3-1/2") are called "bridge" size, the wide/poker decks (2-1/2" x 3-1/2") are called "poker" sized.
FACT: BOTH sizes are usable for any normal card game as they are really just normal decks that are a different width. So it really doesn't make any difference which size deck you choose.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
- It is said that the bridge sized decks were made for the "ladies" so that it was easier to hold.
- Often times the bridge or narrow sized decks do make it easier to hold more cards in your hand.
- In the U.S. the "poker" sized are considered the "normal" size.
- In pretty much the rest of the world, the "bridge" sized cards are considered the "normal" size.
Again, please remember that you can use the "bridge" or "poker" sized decks for pretty much any card game. The only difference is one is a 1/4" narrower than the other.
Other Sizes...
Some times we offer various other "sizes" of playing cards. They may be "enlarged" or larger than normal decks or they may also be smaller than normal decks.
Another varience on the "size" would be what we call "shaped" cards. The shaped cards have taken various shapes over the years and change in popularity. They do offer a nice change of pace to a normal deck of cards.
Poker Size (2-1/2 x 3-1/2)
