Nothing on Snopes, but this is on there meaasge board. Seems there have been a lot more Spades than other aces.

quote:During the war in Vietnam, at the request of the United States government, USPC shipped thousands of decks containing nothing but the “Bicycle” Ace of Spades. The Viet Cong were very superstitious and highly frightened by this Ace. These decks were housed in plain white tuckcases and inscribed, “Bicycle Secret Weapon.” The cards were deliberately scattered in the jungle and in hostile villages during raids causing many Viet Cong to flee at the sight of them.
