Thanks Remi!

It looks like Bicycle is directly releasing some collector sets of these..

"Bicycle has created a Limited Edition 2 Pack to help promote the Wounded Warrior Project. This special 2 pack deck features the Bicycle Wounded Warrior Deck and the America the Beautiful Deck. These cards are housed in a special case. Each set contains a numbered card denoting the limited production. There were exactly 500 Limited Edition Packs produced. Numbers 101 - 500 were used by US Playing Cards for employee gifts and internal use. Numbers 1 - 100 are available online directly to consumers. This limited edition set will be available on a first come first served basis. Once all 100 sets are sold, no more sets will be produced. Earliest orders will get the lowest numbers. When these are sold out, the decks will no longer be available. "

I spoke with someone at Bicycle today...
It is important to note that this set has the standard Wounded Warrior deck in it.  There is one loose playing card in each set that has the limited number in it.

If others like me are wondering why this set costs so much although the Wounded Warrior and America the Beautiful decks don't cost so much alone, it's because of the nice looking box, but also because the America the Beautiful deck is actually the v2 in the series. Personally I think this set looks very nice. Will be picking it up soon.

Nathan if you are going to pick them up you got to be fast there are only 100 of them


i really like the way the case look and i hope to pick them up and also there are very rare , 100 of them .. would be cool to add them into my collection .. so i decided to purchase 2 and when i was checking out i was shocked to see $40+ for shipping !! which is even more expensive than the cards ... does anyone know why is shipping so expensive ?? does it cost so much to ship to the US too ?

I hope you guys realize what you're buying...

1 - deck of Bicycle wounded warrior (the one available EVERYWHERE)
1 - American flag deck
1 - leatherette-type case
1 - single playing card that say what number you have


I do find it kind of shameful that USPCC is only giving 15 cents from this $20 purchase to the charity (less than 1%)

As for the shipping, I believe they have a flat rate of 9.99 to the us for us to 5 sets
