Fundraising Playing Cards

We’ve got to be honest with you. When we did our first deck of souvenir playing cards for Circleville, Ohio we did not plan on taking it nation wide and creating unique decks of cards for history centers clear across the US. We were just fanatics about playing cards and wanted to create a unique collectible for our community. From there it has gone CRAZY.

You see, over and over again we help organizations create unique decks of cards that are just for their community. We’re not just another playing card printer, we are a company that specializes in helping history centers not only do a fundraiser to get their deck printed, but marketing materials to help sell the decks. Over the years that information that we create has changed again and again as we learn and grow.

We Make History Fun

We so LOVE working with history centers! Not only because we love history, but because it is so cool seeing all of the history that is being captured through the various decks of cards we have created. From historical and genealogical societies, museums and preservation organizations to chambers of commerce and business associations. Some of these groups work with each other and share the proceeds raised. The choice is up to you.

One thing we do know is that a decks of cards can cross all age barriers. From children to adults. There are so many things that various ages do with a deck of cards…which is why we believe that when we help you get a deck of cards we are “making history fun” for all ages.

Featured Fundraiser

Way back in 2005 our small company set out on a mission to create a unique deck of cards for the Circleville, Ohio community.  Our goal was to create a deck modeled after an 1898 deck of souvenir playing cards that our owner had in his collection.  In our minds we thought people would like a deck with unique card faces better than a deck with normal card faces.  The deck was created and as we thought, PEOPLE LOVED THE DECK!  It was sold during the annual festival in town called the Circleville Pumpkin Show.  After selling out of the initial batch we ordered more to keep up with demand.

Shortly after the Pumpkin Show we were contacted the Pickerington Historical Society to help them create a deck for their organization.  It was at this time we started to develop our trademark fundraising that has now helped hundreds of history centers, Main Street associations, etc. create their own deck of Real Souvenir Playing Cards. 

Back at the time of this article decks would retail between $8-12 to the general public with each organization deciding where they want to set the price.

The article here was published in the Museums and More magazine way back when all the craze started.
