Iraqi Most Wanted Bicycle Playing Cards - NEW / SEALED. Comes from a smoke free home. This is a souvenir edition of the Iraqi "Most Wanted" Playing Cards, originally modeled after the famous personality-identifying flashcards issued by the US Defense Intelligence Agency to coalition troops during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Origin & Purpose: The original decks featured photographs, names, and ranks of the most wanted members of Saddam Hussein's regime, serving as a practical identification tool for soldiers in the field. Retail Release: Following widespread media attention, commercial playing card companies like the United States Playing Card Company (under brands like Bicycle or Hoyle) produced replica and retail decks for collectors and the general public.
