King Con Cards





























Here is a Fabulous item. These are the cards that were used in Xena Season 3 episode "King Con". Me and my fellow Propaholic Buddy Morgan were able to acquire these and we split the deck between us but we also shared some with our other good friend Barbie. You can see their cards on each of their sites which I have a link to their blog sites on my main page. These cards are also believed to be a "One-Off" item as we were told this which made us very happy. One-Offs are an item that the prop masters only made one of which makes them Very Rare because most of the time they usually made a back-up just in case of an accident. The cards are printed on very thick cardboard type material. Each suit has a different picture on them consisting of a Black Sythe, a Red Fig Branch, a Black Sword and a Red Hand and are numbered in Roman Numerals except the Royal cards.







I have Rafe's card that he shows in the beginning of the episode where he bets his partner on how many times he can pull this card out of the deck. I also have 2 cards from Titus's hand that he looses to Xena at the end of the episode and then I have a general assortment of the rest of the deck. Xena's winning hand was not in the deck and we believe that they may have been taken while they were on set or that one of the prop masters kept them as a souvenir which is a real bummer cause that would have been Great to have them in our collections. Maybe someday we will. We can always hope right!!! :-)

UPDATE 5/5/14- SOLD-I NO LONGER OWN THIS ITEM
