Ciba Ser-Ap-Es Playing Cards from 1971

A custom double deck made in the USA in 1971 for a pharmaceutical company. Comes in two colors, blue and pink.

A listing for a pink version as a single deck for a starting bid of 55 £. As it is a single deck taken from a double deck box, there is no tuck box. I wasn't able to find other listings as of now. I also want to note that the seller on the current listing has really, really high prices typically, I'm quite sure that a better deal would come around at some point.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Awesome find.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Organ Aces and on the courts are quirky. Like them.
