Not the Iraqi Most Wanted playing cards
Fifty-five Irish heroes and villains, some ancient but mostly modern.
On the back of the Most Wanted Iraqi playing cards published in 2003, many other ‘Most Wanted’ packs popped up, often including unpopular politicians. Certainly there are some political villains in this pack but there are also many Irish heroes, some of whom (e.g., Graham Norton, Colin Farrell, Ronan Keating) are still going strong; others have died or fallen by the wayside. The images are of mixed quality. On the back is a map of Ireland in green with the title of the pack superimposed. See the box
Above: Not the Iraqi Most Wanted playing cards published c2004. Publisher and printer unknown. 52 cards + 3 Jokers + 1 blank card in tuck box. Size: 56 x 87 mm.
