Poker Cards | Missing Grant Series 019

Dressed in softly tailored vintage attire, with suspenders and rolled sleeves, these two men lean toward one another, their eyes filled with the kind of affection that transcends words. Their fingers graze between the seats, a secret yet undeniable touch in a world that often forced them into the shadows. The warm glow of the theater lights reflects a romance that quietly flourished, despite the limitations of the time—a love story hidden in the background, but never forgotten.

For those who cherish LGBTQ+ history, classic Americana, and the untold stories of queer resilience, this deck is a testament to those who found love in the hushed moments of a darkened theater, where the world faded away and only their story remained.
