Ace Fulton's (Cancelled Edition) Playing Cards

A rare find has surfaced from the archives of Las Vegas lore: the Ace Fulton's Cancelled Edition playing cards. Discovered in the original Ace Fulton's Casino, these decks carry a piece of history with every card. 

Once sold in the casino’s gift shop, the decks were “cancelled” with a single hole drilled straight through the center—an old-school move to prevent players from reusing them in the legendary games that defined the Fulton's mystique.

What makes this release especially notable is that, for the first time ever, the classic Ace Fulton's court cards have been rendered in traditional red, blue, and yellow. Standard court colors that bring a fresh yet nostalgic twist to the familiar faces. A subtle change, but one that transforms the deck, highlighting the timeless charm of the design.

Less than 500 of these decks were made available. Also available is an extremely rare batch of 50 Gilded Editions in both Silver and Gold. Available now for $12 on Fulton's Playing Cards.
