Does this list really serve any purpose? All names are on U.S. list of most wanted Iraqis. I propose any significant information that is here and not there is transferred, and then this article is made into a redirect. (If anyone cares to transfer the actual card values, be my guest). -- Egil 22:05 May 5, 2003 (UTC)
Hmm, it does seem that there is an awful lot of duplication here. Not necessarily a bad thing, but we'll have to keep the two articles in step, by making sure the names and descriptions agree between the two pages, which will be a lot of work. So I'm tempted to agrre with Egil. Still, I do like the idea of showing which person corresponds to which card, arranged neatly into suits like this, which the simple list doesn't show. So I suppose I'm going to have to support keeping both pages. Hmm. -- Oliver P. 05:08 May 8, 2003 (UTC)
I'm getting tons of spam email asking me if I want to buy these things. Are they being printed and sold on the Internet by anyone with the rights to them? -- Zoe
I think this page really does serve a purpose. There's been a lot of interest specifically in the card set - witness not only the spam sales of the cards, but the many articles about them (including Time, May 12, 2003). There are issues specific to the cards unrelated to the list of 55 - for example, the weird Hoyle trademark issue. Besides, it's useful to link to it separately - for example, discussions of special playing cards through history are easier if this is a separate document. Dwheeler 02:51 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
Okay, sorry if this is a stupid question, or if it's been explained in one of the articles and I just haven't seen it, but if there are 55 people on the "most wanted" list, and only 52 playing cards, erm... how does that work? -- Oliver P. 02:58 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
Certainly this article serves many purposes. LoveLight ( talk) 21:30, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
I have a signed Ace of Spades card by Saddam Hussein. I can upload it if anyone thinks it would add value to the article. Aaronwayneodonahue ( talk) 06:43, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I wanted to update US Playing Card Company of Cincinnati as the company who made these cards but this article suggests they were made in Texas. Not that I don't believe them... it's just that I went to the US Playing Card Company in Norwood, Ohio myself and got a pack... Is there a credible source for this information? Oh... wait I get it now. Nevermind, but please clarity? US Playing Card Company only made a commercial version? JoeHenzi 19:50 and 19:53, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I guess it may be useful to put who has been captured by the US. SYSS Mouse 13:44, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Has anyone remarked that the acronym would be "PIP" cards? "Pip" being the term for one of the markings on traditional playing cards.
Hi does anyone know the actual number of captured "cards"? I don't remember reading it in the article thanks! Xaios 14:11, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Could we add the outstanding reward for information/capture? This article is also in need of updating. ( talk) 21:23, 01 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.152.238 ( talk)
A number of articles online show that it was not in fact 4th Psychological Operations Group that created them and was in fact several Soldiers working at the Defense Intelligence Agency. Sample articles are here and here. Tigey ( talk) 15:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
If French Tarot cards would be used instead of Bridge cards, then:
Treating Ace as highest is aberration from French Revolution. Traditionally Ace is lowest card, which was preserved in French Tarot. 79.162.23.63 ( talk) 20:05, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
If French Tarot cards would be used instead of Bridge cards, then most wanted numbers would go:
