Bicycle Tom Foolery Mullica Playing Cards (Autographed)

Source: Card-Freaks.com (Singapore-based)
Price: SGD30

Got this deck from Lawrence today. He was very nice to help replace the previous set that he delivered. There was no major issue, just a minor clipped which I was quite fussy about.

Decide to get this even though it is quite expensive. First of all, Tom Foolery Mullica cards are not that common, in fact, rare. Plus this comes with autograph edition that Lawrence got from Tom Mullica himself !! This deck is about 20 years old.



"Tom Mullica opened the “Tom-Foolery Magic Bar Theatre” in Atlanta, Georgia in 1978. After opening the bar Tom had the U.S. Playing Card Co. print a run of special Bicycle (Poker size) cards with backs featuring the club’s logo in a burgundy color. The purpose of these decks were for his own use during the magic show.
