This is not just a deck of cards for me. The Innocence Playing Cards are the only cards I would use for the rest of my life. With your help I was able to print 2500 decks through Kickstarter in 2018. Eight months passed from the first dot to the final printed deck. They sold out in a few months. Since then I always thought about a reprint. But since the deck is so close to my heart reprinting also felt kind of wrong. Without these thoughts I could have reprinted the deck much earlier. The reason why I finally decided to reprint them is that I don't like the thought that this deck isn't available for those who really like them. And of course I'm happy about some new decks that I can use. It's not really a second edition and I don't want to print the deck in 500 different colors. Even if it could look great. That isn't the initial idea of this deck or the reason why these cards exist. I just updated the faces with my redrawn courts. And these Innocence Playing Cards will be my first decks with a matte tuck box printed by the Clove St. Press.

Polyantha Playing Cards by Daniel Schneider was designed to resemble a classic casino deck for the card table. Completely black and white face cards with modified Courts give the deck a modern twist that you haven't seen before. Due to the well-hidden, yet easy-to-read Black Roses Marking System, it's possible with a short glimpse to see which card you hold in your hand. With that feature, you are also able to perform mind reading effects very quickly, without any set-up. The borderless back design of the Polyantha Playing Cards creates an eye-catching pattern which especially comes into play during card spreads. Two extra cards come with the Polyantha Playing Cards: - A black casino cut card with the Black Roses Playing Cards logo on one side. - One gaff card with the 2 of Diamonds on top and the 8 of Spades on the bottom of the face. Printed by The US Playing Card Co. on crushed premium (Bee) paper stock with Air Cushion finish and traditional cut.

- This is not a duplicate, it's a new deck. The Polyanthas are going to be printed by the USPCC on their premium (Bee) paper stock. They will be traditionally cut to make your faro shuffles as easy as breathing. The tuck box has an allover print of the Black Roses logo. You'll love the premium look and feel of the tuck box with Air-Cushion finish. Hearts and Diamonds will have a deep dark red. Besides black, it's the only color in the deck. The back design fades at the edges but it won't fade out completely to a white border. It's still a borderless back design, which makes this back design really special because - as far as I know - nobody has ever done it before. The back is fully marked as well. You'll have a lot fun with this marking system.

As of 7 September 2019 only 5500 decks exist per a conversation with the artist Daniel Schneider

Introducing Exquisite Bolder with Perfecta Foil - QUANTITY LIMITED!* The original Exquisite Bold from Expert Playing Card Co.® was the first deck by any card company to to incorporate foil into the back design of a playing card. We did this a few years ago and the Exquisite Bold decks sold out quickly and became a sensation. They are now hard to find. Now Expert has done it again. By creating and introducing Perfecta Foil Expert has moved the bar again. This new technology allows for foil to be extremely accurate and also can be shaded to add the illusion of depth to the design. This is just a first use of this technology but what a first it is! Like the original Exquisite Bold this new version also sports our Master Finish. They handle beautifully, even better than the originals. They are also cut traditionally so that Faro shuffles work perfectly. The tuck is also very special. It's sideways like Expert pioneered some years ago but this time we used a very heavy soft touch material and used Pefecta Foil on the tuck, Spot UV and 3d embossing. The tuck is just as special as this great deck.
