Ah, Franklin BBQ — the gold standard of BBQ! (Seriously, they’re not just saying that; they’ve earned the title of "Best BBQ in Texas AKA the world.") Back in 2013, our mate Brad Fulton endured a four-hour wait in that infamous line at Franklin in Austin, only to be blown away by their epic logo identity system that complemented the mouth-watering BBQ and the vibrant atmosphere. After striking up a friendship with Stacy and Aaron, Brad thought, "What better way to pay homage to this great American brand than with its very own card deck?"
Now, while you’re counting down the minutes for your brisket to finish on the Franklin Smoker (we know the struggle), these ALL NEW "Retro" Franklin Cards are here to keep you entertained. The back design is a cheeky nod to the classic casino cards we remember from yesteryear, and this special edition even includes a vintage "long flap" playing card tuck box — just like they did it back in the 1970s!
Featuring 56 playing cards that are custom through and through, including court cards that pay tribute to the dynamic duo who took Austin BBQ to dizzying new heights. Printed in China on premium cardistry playing card stock, because we believe in quality!
Oh, and did we mention the embossed tuck box? Fancy, right?
Don’t let this one-of-a-kind deck slip through your fingers! Designed by Brad Fulton and illustrated by the OG himself, Dave Lamplugh — the legend who brought the original sauce bottle cartoons to life for Franklin. The logo, crafted by Blair Richardson, has truly stood the test of time as an iconic trademark.
