Inspired by the Art Deco design Era, this deck was made for the specification of the actual restaurant called the Turtle Club at Florida, USA.
In all honesty when I see the playing cards, I always remember the ‘Coco Bongo’ from the animated tv show, The Mask. The ambience and the people in it are sort of living in the old days. A…[Read more]

Upon a closer look on the playing cards, the innovation and execution of manufacturing by Lotrek and his printing company exhibits high class production.

The main tuck box is made out of a felt-like paper stock to mimic a velvet material that is…[Read more]

The epitome of art and innovation in regards to playing cards. My photos don’t do them justice but I’d like to share it to everyone. It goes without saying that this is on the highest tier of luxury and beauty. Art deserves to be seen. Art deserves to be appreciated.

A minimalist worker’s deck in the naked eye, with a casino full bleed back design that for some collectors, isn’t a head turner. But upon opening the said tuck box, you are greeted with such premium and luxurious expereince.
With that said, inspired by @52.and.tuck ‘s earlier post, I did what I had to. Flipped and turned it…[Read more]

A beautiful artwork from Jonathan Schubert in collaboration with Derek Mckee & Zach Davidson. In my interpretation ofcthe deck, I can’t help but be drawn to it for its theme of African explorers/scientists. My favorite part of this deck is the stamp-like Lion insignia probably signifying a guild of intellectuals. Beside it…[Read more]

Created by Lynn Patricia, this specific deck is a homage to the famous painter, Vincent Van Gogh. The tuck box is made to look like a framed painting, but what lies inside is an even more well executed precision. Treated in a way as a puzzle, you’ll have to lay down all the cards and rearrange them to form the very image you see on the box. (cheat…[Read more]
