15 Years of Fultons Playing Cards

The elegant presentation begins with a striking tuck box wrapped in gold foil, setting a luxurious tone that reflects the significance of the milestone. Inside, the cards feature a detailed “bank note” style design, evoking the look and feel of classic currency artwork.

A key visual element is the inclusion of Fulton's signature moths, originally seen in the Clip Joint series... bringing the brand’s aesthetic full circle and tying past and present together. The result is a cohesive, narrative-driven deck that feels both nostalgic and elevated.

Limited to just 300 decks, the deck is designed to stand out as a celebratory piece, one that captures the refinement and identity of the brand while commemorating a major chapter in its history.

Ace Fulton's Casino (Bootleg Edition) Playing Cards

Ace Fulton's Casino Bootleg Edition playing cards is a playful and self-aware take on counterfeit culture, reimagining their iconic deck through the lens of imitation and reproduction. Rather than being an actual knockoff, this release is an intentional “bootleg” created by Brad Fulton himself.

Inspired by a real encounter with counterfeit Fulton’s decks found in an Asian night market, the concept leans into the idea of copying by recreating the deck using an old Xerox-style process. 

The result is a facsimile of the original Ace Fulton’s Casino design... intentionally imperfect, raw, and stripped down to a photocopied aesthetic. It even draws from an early version of the deck that never officially went to print, adding an extra layer of rarity and intrigue.

The tuck box continues the theme, designed to look like a simple matte photocopy, reinforcing the underground, bootleg feel. Despite its lo-fi concept, the deck maintains strong visual appeal.

Limited to just 400 decks, and available now on Fulton's Playing Cards for $25.

Fulton's Irish Wonders Playing Cards

Fulton's Irish Wonders Playing Cards are a tribute to Ireland, blending cultural symbolism with refined design. Inspired by the spirit of the Emerald Isle... and a personal connection to Brad Fulton's grandmother from Aughnacloy, this fully custom deck captures both heritage and nostalgia through every detail.


The tuck box is richly wrapped in vintage-style gold foil, designed to feel like a treasured artifact. Its surface features iconic Celtic elements, including the powerful Celtic Dragon and intricate knotwork patterns that symbolize eternity and interconnectedness.

Over time, the foil is intended to develop a natural patina, giving the box the appearance of aged “old gold” and enhancing its antique character.


Inside, the deck continues the Irish theme with a carefully Pantone-matched color palette reflecting the Irish flag. The faces maintain a clean, playable layout while incorporating subtle custom touches that tie the design together.


Printed on premium thin stock for smooth handling and flexibility, the cards are built for both performance and longevity. Available NOW from Fulton's Playing Cards for $21.


Franklin BBQ Retro Black Playing Cards

Franklin BBQ Retro Black Playing Cards celebrate one of America’s most iconic barbecue institutions through a deck that blends classic casino styling with unmistakable Texas character. The project began in 2013, when Brad Fulton spent four hours in the legendary Franklin Barbecue line in Austin and was struck not only by the food, but by the brand’s bold, timeless visual identity. 

That experience, and a later friendship with founders Aaron and Stacy Franklin, led to the idea of preserving the spirit of Franklin BBQ in playing card form.

The deck’s back design draws inspiration from vintage casino cards, reimagined in a sleek retro black palette. A period-accurate long-flap tuck box, echoing packaging styles from the 1970s... adds to the nostalgic feel, complete with an embossed finish that enhances its tactile appeal. Inside are fully custom cards, including court cards that pay tribute to the people who helped redefine Austin barbecue culture.

Designed by Brad Fulton, the deck features illustrations by Dave Lamplugh, the original artist behind Franklin’s beloved sauce bottle cartoons, while the instantly recognizable logo by Blair Richardson anchors the design with enduring authenticity. 

Printed in China on premium cardistry stock, the Franklin BBQ decks are a thoughtful blend of Americana, brand history, and classic playing card craftsmanship. Available for $21 on Fulton's Playing Cards.

Fulton’s Arcade GameBoy Edition

Fulton’s returns with one of its most nostalgic concepts yet: the Arcade GameBoy Edition, the latest addition to Fulton's Arcade series designed to transport collectors straight back to the era of monochrome green screens and late-night handheld gaming.

This release leans fully into the retro fantasy. The tuck box features a period-accurate long flap, embossed grid detailing, and a color palette pulled directly from the classic grey-and-green handheld devices of the 1980s and early ’90s. 


The moment you slide the green-backed cards from the grey case, the effect is instant... pure childhood dejavu.


The back design carries the theme even further, echoing the distinctive green glow of those early screens, the kind many 90's kids stared at for hours in the backseat of the family minivan. Every tone, texture, and printed detail has been tuned to recreate that tactile memory.


Fulton’s has always excelled at capturing mood and place, but the Arcade GameBoy Edition might be its most affectionate time machine yet. Available now for $20 on Fulton's Playing Cards.

Ace Fulton's Casino V3 Playing Cards

Ace Fulton's Casino: the Ace Fulton's Casino V3 Playing Cards of the latest release by Fulton's Playing Cards. This new rendition showcases the first approved back design concept that was never put into production, making it a unique addition to any deck collection. 


Designed by Dan Phillips, the original artist behind the Ace Fulton concept, this version is based on the blueprint for Ace Fulton V1 that was initially planned for release in 2011. After countless hours of refinement, the now-famous Ace Fulton's was born, but this particular design was set aside. Now, after 15 years, it has finally been brought to life.


The V3 deck stays true to the original vision with its long flaps reminiscent of the iconic 1970s Vegas style. The striking contrast of deep blacks against a specially formulated vibrant 037 Orange creates a visually captivating experience. 


One of the standout features of this deck is the thick borders on the card backs, a nostalgic nod to the classic designs of the past that exude elegance and sophistication. The courts and pips are pretty much standard but recolored with black and vibrant orange to match the overall theme of the deck. 


Don’t miss your chance to add these striking cards to your collection. Available now on Fulton's Playing Cards for $19.77.

Fulton’s October V2 Playing Cards: A Haunting Sequel 12 Years in the Making

Twelve years after the release of the original Fulton’s October, one of the most iconic Halloween-themed decks ever produced, artist Steven Noble and designer Brad Fulton have reunited to conjure an all-new sequel.

Also, the limited edition inversed interior art boxes are available. Only 66 were produced, each individually numbered and somes with a numbered tombstone seal. The deck inside features the standard October V2 cards.

In revisiting the archives, an early and previously unreleased version by renowned illustrator Steven Noble resurfaced—one that perfectly captured the spirit of the series. First envisioned in 2013, this edition can be seen as the “version 0,” now brought to life in full to honor the enduring legacy of Fulton's October.
