This deck features 26 unique Jokers from The United States Playing Card Company archives. Some are old, some are new, but each shows the wide variety of images and styles that have been featured on our cards over the years. The card backs are straight from our archive, with art dating back many decades.

The tuck features a red and gold motif, with red embossing and a subtle raised diamond pattern. The inside of the tuck is metallic gold. This is a Limited Edition deck available exclusively to Club 808 Members. The seal on the top of the tuck is a Club 808 seal, showing the production quantity of 5,000 decks.

The third color variant of The Photography Deck is blue with waterproof PVC cards. The tuck box is not waterproof.

"Arabesque" is the second deck in the "Heritage series" which started with ICONS and is the first deck ever to feature:

• Extremely intricate Gold & Silver foil on both sides of each card, hot stamped over the printed artwork. This makes registration particularily difficult and it has never been attempted before.
• CMYK + metallic gold inks on both sides of the cards.
• Gold & Silver foil plus Embossing & Debossing for the tuck case, creating a unicue depth variation with an amazing effect in the light.
• Smooth handling despite the quantity of foil, making the deck perfectly playable.

In summer 2018 Oath Playing Cards did a small print run mainly to test the use of UV inks on two-color pearlescent stock. They also played around with the varnish a bit, experimenting with new materials. These sheets remained in the printer's facility and were forgotten until Lotrek decided to cut them. The coating that was almost accidentally created has a great slip, far better than any other Lotrek produced so far. It will be the base for all of their future coating formulas and is -- considered by Oath Playing Cards -- a great milestone in the pursuit of creating the perfect coating.

These are misaligned decks from the first print run printed on Black/Bronze Stock

Designed by Lorenzo Gaggiotti, The House of the Rising Spade is a place built for imagination; an esoteric realm full of mysteries built for cartomancers, cardists, magicians, collectors, dreamers, and card enthusiasts. Cartomancer has a tarot feeling. The aces have a magick sigil, the borders of the 54 faces are in gold. Cartomancer was printed by Cartamundi with B9 true linen finish and cold-foil on both sides of the cards. Full-bleed black back design and gold cold-foiled graphic elements.

This is a fully custom deck of playing cards featuring:

Scans can be seen at www.marytcusack.com/maryc/decks/html/Cards/Gemini.html

Gemini is a deck of completely custom illustrated poker size playing cards. The deck will be printed by Expert Playing Card Co. (NY, USA) on casino grade paper stock with their Classic Finish coating. While the campaign is run from here in Stockholm and is in Swedish crowns (SEK), the rewards will be fulfilled from the US.The choice of the name Gemini is based on the peculiarity of the court cards (JQK). At first glance the figures of each card look perfectly symmetrical, but they are not. I depicted them as twins (Gemini in latin) but they are not identical, so you will see small differences when you look closely. I thought that the Gemini zodiac sign would fit this idea, so it gets a bit astrological in its design. The archetype of Gemini is fascinating and intriguing.

With this deck, I wanted a classical, medieval feeling. The aces are depicted as axes and the figures on the court cards interact with their own pip, which becomes part of the illustration. The pips (2 to 10) are big and they take a lot of space. I used an unconventional index, which is horizontal instead of vertical. I used a prototype for testing and found that it is very playable and easy to read, especially for Burraco.

Gemini was made available as 3 different decks:

Gemini Terra: sienna back, tuck-box with embossing, copper and gold foil on thick black paper.

Gemini Ignis: red back, tuck-box with embossing, red and gold foil on thick black paper.

Gemini Noctis (stretch goal added later in project): blue back, tuck-box with embossing, silver (or silver-aqua) foil, black foil on black paper, and foil on the back of the cards.
