About This Design

Cardiff Giant w/David Hannum Quote Playing Cards

Cardiff Giant w/David Hannum Quote Playing Cards

Homer resident David Hannum was the leading financial backer of one of the biggest hoaxes in history. In 1869, George Hull carved a 10 foot tall man out of a block of gypsum. It was artificially aged and buried on his cousin's farm, where this huge petrified "man" was "discovered." Huge crowds came to see it at the comparatively steep fee of 50 cents per person. P.T. Barnum offered Hannum $30,000 to buy it, but Hannum refused, leading Barnum to construct his own Giant and claim it was the original. Barnum told the newspapers he bought it from Hannum who was now displaying a copy. The public bought Barnum's story, leading Hannum (not Barnum as generally believed) to say: "There's a sucker born every minute."

Upon seeing that I could print my personal photo onto a deck of cards, I was very excited. Seeing the image that I captured 54 times while playing card games is an a great way to spend time. There is no limit to the amount of people that can play cards and admire the photo on the back. At first I thought it would only be a small amount of people that would want and use the cards but then more and more people wanted to see my photo on the cards. People are recognizing the value of playing cards instead of video games. This was a great idea! The printing turned out exactly as described when I aligned everything before placing the order. Very happy with the way the printing turned out.

Thank You - I am organizing a memorial tournament for a great friend. The cards are fantastic. They feel almost like real Bicycle Cards. The image I uploaded took beautifully. I will likely be ordering more. .
