Wow, very nice indeed! I've always wanted to get my hand on one of Ronald Reagan's presidential Jelly Belly jars-- those might even be more cool! .
What's interesting is that they say "Spirit of '76", yet bear Nixon's Presidential Signature (who resigned in '74). Of course, when they were made up he was probably still anticipating being in office when '76 rolled around . Do you know if similar decks exist with Ford's signature? I'm not sure how long you have to be President in order to qualify to have stuff made up with your name on it. Maybe he wasn't in long enough.
I also find it amusing that Congress is featured as the Joker. Do you know if that is the case with all AF1 decks, or is that just telling of Nixon's opinion of them?
In any case, very cool!! Thanks for sharing.
