The 2018 52 Plus Joker Club deck was introduced at the 52 Plus Joker Convention in Cleveland, Ohio by designer by Randy Butterfield from Midnight Cards. Randy might be familiar through his previous deck designs that include the Draconian series, Oculus, LUXX, the Ornate series, Rome, and Grinders. This year, Randy has designed a superb club deck that honors not just the club, but also the city of Cleveland. The tuck sports a brown colorway, a nod to the Cleveland pro football team, and the back of the box displays a gold silhouetted view of the Cleveland skyline. Unlike previous club decks, Randy used gold foil only on the box, not on the cards. The cards themselves are subtle but still eminently elegant. The card backs and the joker feature the 52 Plus Joker logo, a jester, in brown. The color brown is also used in all the court cards. Custom numbered seal, limited to 500. designed by midnightcards.com, printed by expert playing card co

Created and printed by fellow member Mark Stutzman (Eloqui), and William Kalush (Expert Playing Card Company) exclusively for the 52 Plus Joker. This limited edition decks design is an homage to playing card historian, Tom Dawson. Fully customized. Original decks had a typo: "Tiwan" on the bottom of the tuck and the 6 of Clubs were misprinted (they have 7 pips). Complete decks should include corrected Tuck and corrected 6 of Clubs.

The rare UNBROKEN series was launched by Seasons Playing Cards in a unique mystery deck sale. This was an experimental launch based around the premise that each deck would be unique in its own way. Only 250 “experiments” were produced in this extremely labor intensive project. Each piece is signified by a holographic seal featuring the Seasons logo featuring an ‘X’ indicating the eXperimental series along with a ‘1 of 1’.

This deck is printed with a unique soft non-gloss finish showcasing the design below along with a shimmering gold foil that showcases the cracks and repairs of the deck. The cards inside feature an animated blooming back design that when flipped will show the logo flowering and closing with the different seasons. The deck gilding is made to match the tuck. The two piece Jokers showcase a piece of the card falling off with the repair paint revealing a ‘J’ to complete the Joker titling. The AoS follows similar in suit with a “broken” face revealing the spade shape with a custom pattern to match the back design and the ‘Experimental Series’ tag below.
