Designed by Jackson Robinson through Kings Wild Project, this deck features the theme of the United States struggle for independence against Britan. This PCDB Entry is for the Continental Limited deck. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1722808047/the-independence-playing-cards-inspired-by-the-rev The Independence decks also won the Best Ace of Spades award from UnitedCardists 2014 Deck of the Year http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6448

Special White Gilded Edition Emerald Tally-Ho  

200 Total Made  

USPCC inadvertently packaged the gilded Silver additions into the white Standard edition tuck case. Unfortunately they also used up all of the numbered silver edition seals that were meant for the 1-200 Silver Editions.

Kings Wild Emerald Talley-ho Display Deck

Tally Ho is a brand that is more than 100 years old and it is my privilege to create my third Tally Ho deck. The Emerald Tally Ho deck is the second deck in my my limited edition Tally Ho series. The first deck, the Scarlett Tally Ho, was inspired by my youngest daughter who is also named Scarlett. The Emerald Tally Ho deck is inspired by my oldest daughter Claire. The Emerald theme comes from Claire's birthstone. Starting with the same basic design structure, as the Scarlett Tally Hos, the Emerald has a completely redesigned back and tuck. The same limited edition courts have been used with new design and color styles to match the new Emerald theme.

Chancellor follows in the footsteps of Zenith and is possibly the most beautiful deck we have created. Inspired by a small detail on a century-old Bicycle card back, Chancellor grew into an incredibly detailed artwork, packing all of the experience and design innovations that Encarded has developed since our founding in 2011.

There will be just 1000 decks of Chancellor printed. The Chancellor tuck is incredible, with thick matte black paper, two foils and large scale, incredibly detailed blind embossing. The deck is sealed with a beautiful metallic foil seal, individually numbered and carefully designed to integrate with the tuck design.

The card backs are printed on the same Master finish stock as Zenith and features FOUR metallic inks that intertwine into a detailed, "shadow bordered" back with subtle edge details and dimension. The faces are fully custom, with a dramatic court featuring beautiful detail and unique colorations.

BRuT 24KT GILDED POKER DECK - LIMITED EDITION

BRuT Gilded Poker - Uusi was the first design studio to create hand-gilded decks for the modern, custom playing card market two years ago and to our knowledge, we are currently the only company who has produced and sold them to date.

We are thrilled to continue this unique tradition with our BRuT tarot and poker deck. Each deck is hand-gilded with pure copper or gold leaf – this is NOT a sprayed on foil or simulated metal – by Peter Dunham using a 400+ year-old traditional gilding process. An exceptionally high level of craftsmanship is applied to this Fine Art process to ensure that each gilded deck is not only beautiful to look at but also to play with.

• Fifty-two playing cards and two jokers all with original, eye-catching artwork that makes them ideal for magic and card games, yet at the same time very familiar and immediately recognizable by players and spectators alike
• Printed by The Expert Playing Card Company (EPCC)
• Limited Edition of 50
• Smooth Tuck
• 24KT hand-gilded deck
• Printed on Master Finish card stock with a linen finish
• Premium paper for the tuck box

The deck features gold metallic ink on the faces, gold and silver metallic on the back and an intricate tuck case that was amazingly stamped on 2-sided color "metallic" stock, pushing the limits of detailed foiling. 600 numbered decks will become available out of the 700 produced and ICONS “SACRED” will never be reprinted. As it was technically very demanding, and before I go to the press for IMPERIAL edition's final print, I decided to “sacrifice” this deck and use it in order to test my new printer’s efficiency and also to experiment with various production aspects from cutting methods and metallic inks’ behavior to playing card finish.  I used my own varnishing formula which has a feel that I like but appears a bit sensitive to rubbing and should be handled with care. That said, crafted with much love, devotion -and some risk-, ICONS SACRED is an experimental deck, more an art object than a deck for playing games.  But who can actually play games with the Sacred? That would be a sacrilege…

"I C O N S" Imperial edition

It's the first deck ever printed having both Gold and Silver hot stamped foil on the back of the cards.

"IMPERIAL" edition is a strictly limited production: Only 555 decks produced.

THE TUCK:

For such a special edition, Lotrek wanted a special tuck case. He started searching and experimenting with various materials until he decided on velvet: The most obvious and appropriate option, came last as it often happens...

The tuck box is made of velvet and has embossing and gold foil accents.

THE DECK:

The Back design - the gem of the deck- with Gold and Silver hot stamped foil on a purple background, is inspired by Byzantine mosaics. It features the two-headed eagle, the Imperial symbol.
