 The rare UNBROKEN series was launched by Seasons Playing Cards in a unique mystery deck sale. This was an experimental launch based around the premise that each deck would be unique in its own way. Only 250 “experiments” were produced in this extremely labor intensive project. Each piece is signified by a holographic seal featuring the Seasons logo featuring an ‘X’ indicating the eXperimental series along with a ‘1 of 1’.  This deck is printed with a unique soft finish showcasing the design below along with a shimmering gold foil that showcases the cracks and repairs of the deck. The cards inside feature the animated Tide back design that when flipped will show a scrolling marquee of flowers across the back. The deck gilding is made to match the tuck. The two piece Jokers showcase a piece of the card falling off with the repair paint revealing a ‘J’ to complete the Joker titling. The AoS follows similar in suit with a “broken” face revealing the spade shape with a custom pattern to match the back design and the ‘Experimental Series’ tag below.

A mystery deck from Seasons Playing Cards, one of 250 unique pieces in this launch. This particular deck is code number FGG6. As owners of the deck are informed we can rename ours, for this one I chose "Gilded Butterfly", representing fragility and vibrancy.

Paul announced this limited deck early 2018 to the Patreon members, and sold mostly to the Patreon members as well (limited to 50). The deck was delivered in July 2018. Cards are the same as the original Chancellor deck, but gilded with the help from Seasons Playing Cards. Paul handmaded the tuck box, and cards come with a customized carat case.

From Jisuk Cho, Broken Spell Playing Cards is the result of a collective 56 artists coming together to create a playing card deck based on their own dark interpretation of a fairy tale. Each card is illustrated by a different artist in their unique style. Funded in 11th September 2010, Broken Spell was the first deck to be funded on the popular crowdfunding site, Kickstarter. The project raised $6.7k from 305 backers. The deck consists of 54 casino quality, plastic coated playing cards, printed on 300gsm paperboard stick by Ad Magic. Each deck comes in a custom tuck box.

Experimental Deck, printed on bronze stock with silver foil on the backs.

Gambling is a sin. A last resort for depraved, desperate people dancing down life’s tightrope in a pair of stilettos. At best it can lead to second mortgages on your grandparents house, pawn stores, poverty and – at its most extreme - long walks through the national park with a burly Croatian enforcer named Dragon.  So if you are going to gamble, we suggest you do so with the delightful StrangeLove Special Edition Playing Cards. Hand illustrated by the uber-talented Colombian collage artist Randy Mora, there is something here for the whole family to enjoy. In fact, each card is so exquisitely beautiful it will be sure to lighten your day long enough to momentarily forget the impending doom that awaits you.

Tomski and Polanski created a limited edition set of playing cards that tell the stories of incredible men. This was self funded deck features 32 cards plus 1 reserve card (Central European Version).

• A signed card (you choose the one you want to be signed)
• Handmade tuck, made of metallic card stock in three layers:
  • A copper laser cut cover

This is a non standard deck issued by AllSaints, a British fashion retailer headquartered in Spitalfields, London, UK. The deck is discontinued and very hard to find. The cards have an all over slightly textured warm gray colour. The pips are customized and feature anatomically correct hearts, skull and bones in the clubs, a razor blade diamond, and a goat skull in the spades. The court designs are the same for each suit, except for colouring. The deck was issued without plastic wrap on box or cards.

This deck was exclusively created to accompany If an Octopus Could Palm, Dan & Dave’s first book on palming techniques. A limited run, the decks have never been sold separately.
