Walt Disney Cards II
Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and other familiar Disney characters.
These Disney characters need no introduction. All the familiar faces are here – Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto and other members of the gang. The courts and Jokers are double-ended with indices in German. The manufacturer’s name can be found on the Ace of Diamonds and the Jack of Clubs. The back pattern is formed of Mickey heads in green, blue and white.
