Chach, thanks for comment. I do not have these. They are somewhat expensive. I collect these images from auction web sites.chach wrote:That's pretty darn cool. Are these all in your collection?

Re: Bicycle Playing Cards Memorabilia
Not really "memorabilia", per se, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread for just one post. Anyway, found this at the local Goodwill. Not sure if it is meant to be displayed in portrait or landscape mode. In any case, I think it will look great on the wall of the display area I'm putting together. I'll post pics when it is completed.

Re: Bicycle Playing Cards Memorabilia
I have a book of matches like that, up until now it was the only one I had seen like that. DK what card is it inside, will have to take a look if I remember. Good to know there's at least two others out there in the world.Levent Suberk wrote:Diamond brand Bicycle playing card cover matchbooks. 1970s.
