All-Time Wrestling Icons - Art Playing Card Deck
In 1985, a publication by Shogakukan Inc., included a wrestling card insert set styled as a deck of playing cards. The perforated card sheet included prominent wrestling stars familiar to the region, at the time.
Inspired by this concept, artist, Kevin Gust created 54 unique illustrations of his All-Time Wrestling Icons to update & modernize into a complete, art playing card deck.
Each wrestler is assigned a "rank" & a "suit" to make these cards suitable for all playing card games.
Domino sized: 1.75" x 3.5"
Set includes:
- 54 unique wrestling icon playing cards (13 ea.) hearts, diamonds, spades & clubs with 2 jokers)
- Bonus Checklist card

(Note: current orders have exceeded this total)
