This is the original version with the numbered seal. Original versions have seals that are xxx/800. Gilded just have the number on the seal. Here we have the sweet sweet third installation of the Deliciousness Series, brought to you by FLAMINKO Playing cards. It is an all new, custom themed, novelty deck. What awaits you when you handle these quality cards are exciting swirls and popping colours. And for these marvelous cards we have a tuck case every bit its equal. A tuck that is sensational and hypnotizing, fully coloured with raised embossed elements.

Boardwalk Papers by Alex Pandrea

Open a sealed pack of nostalgia with each new deck of Boardwalk Papers playing cards. With every shuffle, every cut, and every deal, you’ll find this deck harkening back to the days when fortunes were won or lost with the turn of a card, and Atlantic City held itself the capital of the Western World. Printed by The Expert Playing Card Company, Boardwalk Papers sport hand-drawn artwork and metallic foil embossings that reflect the golden age of the USA. You’ll quickly discover that much like the American spirit of yesteryear, they’re built to last.

 

NOTE - While sold and promoted by Dan & Dave, as well as other companies, this was actually put together by the The Blue Crown (Alex Pandrea).

Liars & Thieves is a beautifully designed deck that combines all the benefits of a white border deck with many of the deceptive qualities of an all over back design. Design on the court cards is minimalized to create a very clean look. Each deck comes complete with two identical jokers, a blank face card, and a double backer. The tuck case is made of a special synthetic paper that is built to last with resistance to tearing and moisture. Finish: Master - Very thin and very firm. This stock is the most like Jerry's Nugget. The choice of many of the masters. Semi-smooth but does have a subtle embossing pattern.

This deckis a sequel to the Origins Playing Cards decks, which were voted United Cardists Best Overall Deck of 2014.

The Shadows campaign features two new decks and a special hand crafted Black Label edition, inspired by rare 16th century originals. The goal for this campaign is again to produce premium quality decks.

The Rouen 1567 deck is the Shadows companion, a carefully crafted recreation of the original historic deck, with full body one way court cards that inspired the playing cards we know and love today. It will be printed by the United States Playing Card Company.

Religion was a major theme in 16th century art and the Shadows deck is inspired by the story of Adam and Eve, and the choice between Innocentia (innocence) and Cognitio (the acquisition of knowledge). Which will you choose?

The Rouen 1567 deck will feature: A premium quality tuck case with embossing. The cards will feature recreations of extremely rare historic cards from 1567. These cards are drawn as closely as possible to the originals, with the addition of indices for playability. The subtle back design is a design based on historic references as the originals had plain backs.

Introducing Exquisite! From Expert Playing Card Company.

Old or New? Yes!

A few years ago when we started to get the itch to create modern versions of decks from the golden age of playing cards (1860-1920) our first stop was at the great temple for all things related to playing card collecting, Tom and Judy Dawson’s place in Toronto.

Among a number of really cool and rare decks offered to us was this amazing deck called Exquisite. The Dawson’s told us that this deck from about 1895 or so and produced by the Union Playing Card Company of New York was, as far as they knew, a one of kind. No other example had ever turned up anywhere.

The sideways tuck was love at first sight!

The back design that Union used wasn’t as much fun so we decided to replace it with a really beautiful back that had also originally come from the Art Nouveau period.

What we have now is the result of that day with Tom and Judy (and many many other great days with them!), Asi Wind’s great eye in picking out the back design and Lawrence Sullivan’s help in getting the factory that made the Legends (a true instant classic) to make our sideways tuck.

Introducing Exquisite! From Expert Playing Card Company.

 

Produced in a quantity of only a few hundred this stunning deck comes in it’s own custom Pack Jacket. This deck will only be released with its Pack Jacket, and the Exquisite Pack Jacket will not be released separately. We have priced this at an amazing $14.95 post paid per deck, and we expect our very small quantity to sell out immediately. Move fast if you want this deck!
