Best Answer

In colonial America the Ace of spades was where they placed the British tax stamp. __________________ It is also the card that shows when they package decks of cards, so they usually glam it up a little, and that is usually where you can find manufacturer information. In card games that recognize suit superiority, Spades is the highest suit, and the Ace the most powerful card, so it is representative of the "ultimate" card in some ways.

Most games have the ace as the highest-value card, and games that rank the suits (such as Bridge) tend to do so in alphabetical order in English (Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades), making the ace of spades the highest value.

The ace of spades usually has the manufacturer's logo on its face as well.
