Two weeks ago, the U.S. military issued 200 decks printed on cheap paper to troops looking for absconded Iraqis. Soon, fakes turned up on eBay and attracted hundreds of dollars in bids.

So the United States Playing Card Co., the Pentagon's longtime partner in making cards for military purposes - during World War II, decks sent to POWs contained hidden maps of escape routes - reproduced the Saddam deck on "casino quality" paper with proper rounded corners. "They're a real slice of history," says USPC's George White.

Some proceeds will go to veterans groups; a $10,000 check has been sent to AMVETS, says Louis Amoroso, co-founder of greatUSAflags.com.
