The Original Hero Decks Presents Pittsburgh Football Heroes Playing Cards

This item is a sealed deck of 'The Original Hero Decks Presents Pittsburgh Football Heroes Playing Cards,' designed to feature prominent players from the Pittsburgh football team. The packaging, primarily white with black and yellow text, showcases key details and examples of the card designs. The front of the box prominently displays 'THE ORIGINAL HERO DECKS PRESENTS PITTSBURGH' in bold, stylized fonts, with 'HERO DECKS' in a distinctive yellow with a black outline. Below this, 'FOOTBALL HEROES Playing Cards' is printed in large black lettering. Three example playing cards are visible on the front. One card, an Ace of Spades, features a caricature of Terry Bradshaw, identified as 'Quarterback, 1970-1983.' Another, a King of Hearts, depicts Jerome 'The Bus' Bettis, labeled 'Running Back, 1996-2005.' The third partially visible card appears to be a Jack of Clubs. The caricatures are rendered in a slightly exaggerated, cartoon style. The packaging appears to be made of standard cardstock, with clear graphics and text indicating good printing quality. The item is still in its original, presumably shrink-wrapped, condition, as suggested by the crisp edges and lack of visible wear on the box. There are no obvious tears, creases, or damage to the packaging, suggesting it is either new old stock or has been very well preserved. The overall aesthetic is consistent with collectible sports memorabilia from the late 20th or early 21st century, likely produced after Jerome Bettis's career, placing its estimated age sometime in the mid-2000s or later.
