Chris Ramsay's 1ST Playing Cards V2 Will be Released Today!

We've been getting a few DM's on social media and on the site with regards to the release date of Chris Ramsay's 1ST Playing Cards V2. Chris Ramsay announced over the weekend that the deck will be available Monday at Noon ET on his website, Chris-Ramsay.com. Unlike the V1's, V2's will be a DIRECT release. So... No Pre-Orders. No Reprints.

The V2 spots a STUNNING black tuck box with a gold foil band and embossed 1st lettering on the exterior and gold foil 1st pattern on the interior.



The card backs are bordered but now with a black colorway. This makes the gold foils on the back pop!

Like the V1's the courts and pip are pretty much standard but with updated color palette to fit the overall theme of the deck. For every brick you purchase, you will receive a signed V2 deck and as a surprise, Chris is throwing in a limited number of V1's from his personal stock to the first brick orders.

From the comments on Chris' Instagram post, we believe these will go EXTREMELY fast. Set your alarm clocks to Noon ET on Monday (4th Feb). You don't want to miss these!

Deck View: Sea Shepherd Playing Cards

Marine. Wildlife. Conservation.

Released early last year, the Sea Shepherd Playing Cards by Ellusionist is based on an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization- Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS). The semi-custom deck features custom Ace of Spades, Jokers and standard recolored court cards and pips. You will also notice that the Sea Shepherd logo is prominently featured on the front of the custom tuck box and on the mirrored two-way card backs.

The Sea Shepherd deck follows Ellusionist previous fundraising decks- Bumble Bees and Killer Bees Playing Cards, with 10% of the sales proceed of the deck will go to Sea Shepherd to support the important work done by the organization in protecting the ocean and marine life.

The deck was printed by the US Playing Card Co. on crushed stock and traditionally cut. Available from jpgames.co.uk.

Lotrek Releases SILK Playing Cards for Pre-Order

Lotrek never fails to amaze! With the stunning DAMASK playing cards, he accomplished a technical and aesthetical limit in the number of different foils that can be used. So, Lotrek think it was time for a more sophisticated challenge,

To go back to the basics and using just one foil -and a lot of imagination- to create a deck of spectacular luxury, an absolute must for every serious collector!

The result, SILK playing cards. The use of light on the background made of incredibly thin lines imitates the weaving of renaissance silk fabrics, creates a stunning 3D effect that no photo can capture.

Thanks to our workshop and expert plate makers, we're able to produce a deck with such a detail that will take your breath away!

The deck is fully custom with gorgeous courts inspired by renaissance engravings. To top things off, gold foil is used on all cards, front and back. The tuck case comes with Black and Gold foil, embossing on black stock.

SILK playing cards will be available exclusively to those who will preorder. The decks are limited in nature and no decks will be sold after the pre-sale period, which ends on 5th February 2019. Production will begin with fulfillment expected in the first half of March.

Pre-order price starts at $70 on oathplayingcards.com
