Upcoming: Stranger & Stranger Playing Cards

03 Feb

“Stranger & Stranger, you’ve outdone yourselves once again. Following their Holiday Spirits of the past few years, “to celebrate the year we broke out of our alcohol comfort zone and designed premium olive oils, fine foods, luxury luggage, and just plain crazy new stuff, we teamed up with the amazing Dan & Dave to create this, our Ultimate Deck.” And broke out of their alcohol they did! Previously, anyone who asked me for suggestions on alcohol packaging, i undoubtedly told them, Stranger & Stranger! Well it sounds like it has been quite the year for the incredible design group… and these cards (no surprise) are STUNNING, down to the tiniest of details! From the matte black magnetic box… to the velvety pouches… to the festive ambigram… to the seal on the deck… to the gilded edges of the deck… to the artwork adorning each card… it’s a magnificent deck of cards!” ~ Stranger & Stranger

Printed by USPCC. Poker size.

The Blue Crown: “The Crown Deck: Luxury Edition”

03 Feb

“Designed by Randy Butterfield, The Blue Crown Luxury Deck is an elegant and premium version of TBC’s Crown deck. The back design is printed in deep blue and metallic gold inks. The faces are a classic Arrco design with custom coloring on the court cards. We also have brand-new designs for the Ace of Spades and Jokers.

The tuck box is a thing of pure beauty. Fashioned from blue vellum paper, the tuck does not have any printed ink. The design is created entirely from Blue, Gold, and Silver foil and multiple levels of embossing.”

“Only 2,500 Decks Printed”. First Edition. Poker size. Printed by USPCC.

The deck: 52 playing cards + 2 Jokers + 1 double backer card + 1 Ad card.
