- THE INTERNATIONAL PATTERN & ITS ANOMALIES -

-34-

 

Even solid American companies, like Coca Cola, have ordered decks overseas. This one was made in Taiwan and although the Taiwanese government won't like this, we have already incorporated Taiwan in the China albums in our collection. The Coca Cola "Winning Smiles" shows two black children on the backs. The "black" deck stays very close to the original: the attributes and other features of the international pattern are all there. Here only the faces have been colored in a brownish shade. However, the facial features of the courts haven't been altered, so now they look more like heavily sun-tanned white folk. 

Made in Taiwan in 1997 and published in the US. The backdesign was done by John S. Sandridge.
The deck consists of 52 cards and 2 jokers.
