The Limited Edition deck comes in a matchbox style box with a plain white tuckbox inside it. The card with the matches on it is meant to be placed so it will be visible when you slide open the matchbox. The box even has a rough 'striker' area on the side just like an actual matchbox.

Only 200 will be produced. Cards printed by the United States Playing Card Company. Cards printed on Bee Casino Stock (the same as the original Fed 52 series). Cards will have an embossed air cushioned finish. Inner Tuck case will have full-color printing, embossing, and hot stamped foiling, on premium matte finish stock. Gold Foil Seal. Made in the USA with recycled materials. Outer tuck case will be hand printed by Jackson Robinson on his 1962 Heidelberg Letter-Press. Outer tuck case WAS NOT hand numbered. The Federal 52 2nd Edition is a hybrid of both the original Federal 52 court card set and art work (that was featured in the Federal 52, Gold Certificate, and Silver Certificate decks) and the art work of the Reserve Note decks. In this edition, the artist took his favorite artistic elements of the entire Federal 52 series and created an entirely new and unique deck of playing cards.

Prototype of the Split Spades Reading deck, came in a box set with Instruction paper. Also available in David Blaine first Variety box

Full deck scan by macstrat @ https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/305-absinthe/ Absinthe - the Green Fairy of spirits, has long been associated with the bohemian lifestyle, with famous drinkers including Picasso, Van Gogh, Hemingway, Oscar Wilde and Toulouse-Lautrec. These cards embody the allure of the emerald drink, the hallucinogenic haze, sugar crystals in the night, the Ace of Spades modelled after the filigree of the absinthe spoon. With its heavy embossing and text that pokes fun at itself, even the box appears to have had a few drinks. Originally printed for the Prohibition Box Set, the Absinthe Version 2 deck has been tweaked slightly to keep the integrity in design, whilst also allowing you to own more than one deck, without having to buy multiple Prohibition sets. This deck is too cool for display, it has to be shown off...

based on talking boards and the Spiritualism movement, these playing cards are unparalleled in finish and art. Employing an engraved style and featuring foil finishes and embossing, Oracle Playing cards were printed by the United States Playing Card Company.

In 1876 legendary cowboy and gambler Wild Bill Hickok was playing cards in Deadwood, Dakota Territory. He was shot in the back before he could play his hand... and legend has it that he held Aces and Eights: The Dead Man's Hand.

We celebrate the legacy of Wild Bill Hickok and the gambling lore of the Wild West with The Dead Man's Deck. This beautiful deck is filled with details surrounding Wild Bill and his storied past. The deck's design is true to the time period, with an ornate, grey pattern and old-style faces. And of course, the Aces and Eights are, well, bloody.

The defining feature of this deck, though, is that it has a bullet hole shot right through the middle of it, along with a commemorative musket ball lodged in the hole. Every deck comes with this musket ball and a scorched bullet hole through the entire deck.

Printed by the Expert Playing Card Company. Featuring a custom seal.

In 2013, I successfully Kickstarted the Whispering Imps®, a deck of cards for magicians that was inspired by Harry Kellar’s famous portrait poster from 1894. After a very successful campaign, 5 different versions of the original design and thousands of shipped decks, it was time for a brand new deck of Whispering Imps®. In January 2014, I partnered again with illustrator Mark Stutzman, and we began designing the second deck in the Whispering Imps® series: The Gamesters.

Designed for card players, the Gamesters are two new decks inspired by classic Las Vegas casinos including Jerry’s Nugget, the Golden Nugget, and The Wynn. The clean, simplistic back design allows players to be focused on what’s most important – the game.

Additionally, I wanted to make it easier for both left and right handed card players to peek at their hand while at the same reducing the amount of card exposed to prying eyes, so the pips are placed just 2.5mm from the edge in all four corners.  The top right and bottom left indices are rotated 90°, allowing players another unique opportunity to quickly peek at their hand when cards are in a horizontal position.  

Lastly, it was important to set this deck apart from the original while maintaining elegance. The original Whispering Imps® sported a very intricate back design and were housed within a very simple, iconic tuck box. The Gamesters incorporate just the opposite - a very simple and iconic back design and an intricate, elaborate tuck box.
