JEU DE CARTES HANFORD, CALIFORNIA PLAYING CARDS.

“When the Gym Lights Glowed.” Step back to 1949 and the golden age of Hanford High basketball, when Friday nights meant packed bleachers, polished hardwood, and small-town pride echoing through the gym rafters. This vivid reproduction of the original season schedule captures that postwar energy — bold colors, hand-drawn lettering, and a confident dribbler ready for the tip-off against rivals like Visalia, Edison, and Roosevelt. Every inch radiates the excitement of Valley sports at mid-century, when the whole town turned out to cheer the Bullpups. Original Valley Monster Co. release — faithfully reproduced from the vintage Hanford High basketball hand-out and printed as a full deck of playing cards. A perfect keepsake for alumni, local history fans, and anyone who remembers when the games were loud, the bleachers were wooden, and the pride of Hanford burned bright.
