The Tally-Ho 140th Anniversary Gold Metalluxe Playing Cards celebrate over 140 years of legendary American craftsmanship and innovation. Since its founding in 1885 by Andrew Dougherty—the same year the iconic Bicycle brand debuted—Tally-Ho has stood as a symbol of premium quality, exceptional handling, and timeless design that appeals to card game enthusiasts, magicians, cardists, and collectors worldwide.
The Tally-Ho Legacy
When Andrew Dougherty introduced Tally-Ho in 1885, he created a playing card brand that would become synonymous with American card-making excellence. The name itself, drawn from the British fox-hunting tradition, captured the brand's elegant spirit. Dougherty's innovations shaped the modern playing card industry—from introducing the iconic Joker design (originally the "Jolly Joker") to pioneering manufacturing techniques that became industry standards. In 1907, USPCC acquired Andrew Dougherty's company, bringing Tally-Ho into its prestigious collection where it remains one of the most beloved and sought-after brands by serious players and collectors.
The 140th Anniversary Edition
This special 2025 limited-edition release honors 1885–2025 with luxurious Gold Metalluxe® foil detailing adorning every card face and back. The shimmering gold accents celebrate the brand's storied heritage while blending classic elegance with modern luxury. The distinctive circle or fan back design—both hallmarks of Tally-Ho since the early 1900s—remains instantly recognizable and deeply respected in the cardistry and magic communities.
