Kings Wild Project — Federal 52 Black Reserve Note | Original 2013 USPCC Uncut Sheet | Mint Condition | Rolled
This is a genuine, mint condition uncut sheet from the original 2013 Federal 52 Black Reserve Note by Kings Wild Project — designed by Jackson Robinson and printed by the United States Playing Card Company. This is the original Federal 52 series sheet, not to be confused with any subsequent Kings Wild Reserve Note reprints or later print runs. A rare and significant piece of luxury playing card history.
About This Sheet:The Reserve Note deck is the fourth deck released in the Federal 52 series, inspired by US Reserve Notes of the early 1900s, featuring a completely new courts set from the Federal 52, Gold Certificate and Silver Certificate series. The uncut sheet presents both the face and back of the cards in their pre-cut printer's format — a format that is rarer and more collectible than the deck itself.

Why This Sheet Matters:The Federal 52 Kickstarter was funded on July 25, 2013 with 2,705 backers pledging $188,005 — one of the landmark campaigns in the history of the luxury playing card movement. The original Federal 52 is considered by most playing card collectors and enthusiasts to be one of the cornerstones of the custom playing card world. Uncut sheets from this original run were offered exclusively to Kickstarter backers and have not been widely available since. Finding one in mint rolled condition over a decade later is genuinely exceptional.
A centerpiece display piece for any serious Kings Wild Project or luxury playing card collection.
