This deck is more than just a retooling of regular cards! Custom Face Cards - Kings are now sheriff lawmen, Queens are serving beer at the saloons, and Jacks have become outlaw bandits! Period Accurate Back - After studying old decks, photos, and a bit of inspiration I've come up with a classy and faithful back. The final design will be a TWO WAY back with edges that fade to 'white'. Gaff Cards - You get to decide! Look at Update #4 to vote! Weathered Look - Not just satisfied with adding a filter to existing cards, I went all out! Cracks, tears, faded colors, and stains make it look like you found this deck buried in a mineshaft.

The Limited Edition Baker Street Edition is the perfect deck for any Sherlock Holmes fan. The Baker Street Edition features the same intricate back design, as the Baker Street Edition, that includes iconic elements from many of the beloved stories. The court cards for the Baker Street Edition are identical to those in the Baker Street Edition an are inspired by the original late 19th & 20th century engravings and illustrations that were released with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels and short stories. The Limited Edition Baker Street Edition tuck case features premium paper stock with embossing and Gold foiling. The tuck case is printed both on the inside and out. The playing cards inside are USPC Aristocrat Paper Stock with an embossed magic finish. The Baker Street Edition will also come with a custom 221B Tuck Seal in honor of Sherlock Holmes' home in London.

A very special edition deck will be released in which I create a Black, Silver and Red version of the Holmes / Moriarty Back design and combine it with the court cards of the Baker Street Edition. It also have a completely new tuck case. Any thing that is red on the tuck case is metallic red foil. All of the designs are also embossed into the tuck case.

The Moriarty Edition features a simple but elegant tuck case, that features intricate embossing and silver foiling. The Moriarty Edition courts cards are a whimsical stylized rendition of the characters of the Conan Doyle world that still have an element of the traditional court cards we are all accustomed to. The courts designs are the same as the Holmes Edition but with a cold desaturated feel, with elements of grunge and decay, to pay homage to evil villain the take their name sake from. The Moriarty Edition also features Metallic Silver Ink in the place of metallic red.
