KickStarter deck which was a 3 deck set consisting of White/Gold, Blue/Silver and a special Limited Edition (Black/Red).  There was apparently a flaw or error made in creating the Blue/Silver decks as they came out more black instead of the vivid blue described in the original KickStarter project.

Originally inspired by the roadside signs that guide travelers and plane spotters to their destination airports, Jetsetter Playing Cards has taken that same inspiration and produced the Luxury Edition to embrace the true elegance of air travel and jet-setting. The classic design is essential for any aviation, travel, or playing card enthusiast. The playing cards showcase re-colored standard faces with a classic and casino inspired back design. They're traditionally cut utilizing Legends' famous 'Diamond Cut' process, a closely guarded secret that distinguishes these playing cards from other brands. The tuck box has clear UV spot varnish accents on the text and defines the airplane icon on the front, creating a classy and elegant feel one the matte white tuck box.

From the makers of the Unrest Series of playing cards comes a new exciting series based on life and death. This series focuses on several historical events where life and death was a major factor. In this case, we honor the historic ship known simply as RMS Titanic.

Funded as a Kickstarter project on October 29, 2014  with $37,460 pledged from 582 backers, this was available in a Life and Death tuck options (each with custom stickers for First, Second and Third Class, plus crew) and unbranded version based on the Death tuck and a Deluxe edition tuck.  Using the theme of the titanic each deck the Life/Death tucks used a unique and custom variable seal that included the name, age, gender and serial number (ticket number) for each person on board, with their survival or death indicated by the tuck used (Life or Death).  An accompanying 'boarding pass' in the form of a custom card with more details of the person were also available for each person.  The decks were created and designed by Robert Tomlinson of Tomlinson Playing Cards and were printed by Expert Playing Card Company.  

This PCDB Entry is for the Titanic Life Third Class Deck [Bicycle].
