A striking set of original 1979 oversized face card decorations, comprising the Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. manufactured in Pennsylvania, USA by the historic holiday and party ephemera giants, The Beistle Company.

While Beistle’s timeless graphics are still printed today for mass party stores, these original 1979 editions carry an entirely different structural weight. Unlike modern, flimsy reproductions meant to be tossed away after a single night, these true vintage pieces are heavy-weight, rigid poster-board designed for permanence and repeated display.

The graphic impact is bold with a beautifully flat, matte ink characteristic of late-70s industrial printing presses.

NOTE: Price is for the complete set of 4 cards [ Jack, Queen, King & Ace ]
