History of Hawaii Playing Cards by USPCC (?) from 1985
So I just saw this listing on ebay for a custom deck called "History of Hawaii", obviously with a Hawaian theme. What caught my eye was the starting bid 150 £ and the seller claiming it's by USPCC from 1985. I found no other mentions from anywhere online about the deck, even from this forum, Portfolio52 or WOPC. According to the listing it's in Mint condition "In original clear plastic box". If it really is a rare USPCC custom artwork deck from 1985 then the price kinda makes sense, I mean, how many actually are there? Oh, and the seller is a reputable playing card seller from the UK. HERE IS THE LINK TO THE LISTING if you want to take a look. And the artwork is really nice.
And this the cue for Jase, Jarl Ratledge or some other member who actually knows their shit to ride here and drop us some knowledge.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Re: History of Hawaii Playing Cards by USPCC (?) from 1985
Well i am no expert of "American" cards, But to my knowledge these are-
"The times of Kamehanieha" , designed by Joseph Feher of Hawaii and Printed by ARRCO in 1984
USPCC "could have" reprinted these after their takeover of Arrco in 1987, but i doubt it.
Again i am no expert, hopefully someone else can shed some light
