Erdnaseum Cards (Cambric Finish, Limited Edition) Dan & Dave

Look into another time with this unique reproduction deck, when Erdnase was the staple card at the turn of the century. The Bee's® Squeezers box reproduces a 1900's classic. These Bee® Worm back playing cards have been imprinted with an original Scott Kim ambigram that says, "S.W. Erdnase" or W.E. Sanders when flipped end over end. This beautiful deck is cut and printed by the US Playing Card Company on premium stock using a casino quality web press.

Now for the first time in nearly a century these card are available to the public in commemoration of S.W. Erdnase The Expert at the Card Table and its author. A man whose names have been discovered as anagrammatic equivalents (?) to the pseudonymous writer, W.E. Sanders emerges as perhaps the most compelling. A longtime card player and a student of magic, Sanders was the kind of person who took half-a-dozen decks with him on a camping trip. Skilled in deception, he rearranged the letters in his name, tore pages from his diaries and snuck out of his home for late night visits to high-rolling private clubs. A mining engineer and professional writer by trade, Sanders was eccentric and brilliant, offering no justification and seeking no credit for the knowledge he imparted. But whatever the result of his actions may be, if they inspire lovers of card entertainment and legerdemain, then they will have provided the primary motive of card table artifice, as it needs the mystery.
