Golden Spike Black Ink Limited Edition Playing Cards Deck By Jody Eklund

Golden Spike Black Ink Limited Edition Playing Cards – By Jody Eklund is a rare and highly detailed tribute to one of the most important moments in American history — the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad on May 10th, 1869.

This special Black Ink Limited Edition was illustrated by renowned designer Jody Eklund of Steele Ink Studio and produced in a strictly limited run of only 1,000 decks worldwide, making it an instant collectible.

Every card in the deck is created using intricate cross-hatch engraving techniques, designed to mimic the hand-etched illustrations and lithographs that were common in the 19th century. The imagery captures the pioneering spirit, the industrial grit, and the iconic figures involved in the building of the transcontinental railroad.

Printed by the United States Playing Card Company on premium Bicycle stock, the deck delivers exceptional handling for both gameplay and collection. The muted black-ink aesthetic gives this edition a darker, more industrial tone, setting it apart from the standard Golden Spike editions.

The custom tuck box continues the engraved style, featuring historic train imagery with refined, vintage detailing. From the court cards to the Jokers and ad cards, every piece of artwork has been researched, crafted, and refined to reflect this transformative moment in history.

This is more than a deck of cards — it’s a miniature museum piece dedicated to innovation, expansion, and the enduring power of American industry.

✔ Playing card collectors
