Description: Iraqi Most Wanted Playing Cards In Original Sealed Packaging A deck of playing cards and military collectible depicting the 52 most wanted Iraqis was first seen on 11 April 2003 when Brigadier General Vincent Brooks held up the deck at a press briefing in Qatar. The cards were designed "to provide a reminder of key Iraqi personnel of interest and to provide a recreational resource for troops in the field," according to the Department of Defense. "We try to have things that have dual usage whenever we can," said U.S. Army Major Randi Steffy, a Central Command spokesperson. Only a few days after the general introduced the cards, collectors started looking to acquire them. An initial print run of only a couple hundred decks was sent to Central Command in Qatar for distribution. The popularity and demand for the cards sent the Defense Department to an outside contractor, United States Playing Card Company, to reproduce the popular item.
