An inscription on the box reads: En el preciso momento que las presentes generaciones están formando conciencia de sus tradiciones, el naipe “Victoria” llenará un íntimo anhelo al contar con un juego de cartas que por sus figuras gauchas les serán familiares, recordándoles un pasado que debe ser inspiración al proyectarse en el futuro.
Que en la inquebrantable determinación de superarse de estas generaciones, aliente el espíritu indomable y estoíco de aquellos gauchos que les legaron el insuperable patrimonio de sus libertades ganadas con sacrificio, amor y patriotísmo.
La edición de estos naipes sea un homenaje a estas generaciones y aquellos gauchos.
