Anyone has worked with the United States Playing Card Company on one of the most classic playing card designs ever made: the Tally-Ho Circle Backs. This deck sparked the original interest in collecting playing cards for many cardists, especially the “blue seal” kind produced in USPCC’s historic Ohio factory.
The Tally-Ho · Anyone deck is printed using a custom black ink formulation we’ve used in previous productions. It results in a smoother surface texture and a different tactile feel. The cards are also made with Thin Crushed™ stock, pressed at a higher intensity for a slimmer profile.
Sticking to the Anyone design language, the deck comes in a double-back box with an A1 mark at the bottom. The deck is enclosed using a blue USPCC seal to reference our original fascination with this design. The Ace of Spades showcase our minimalist logo. The two extra cards show our ads.
This edition is a commemoration of my first release! The color of the card box and the back of the cards has been changed to my favorite deep blue (custom Pantone special color ink was specially ordered to ensure 100% satisfaction with the effect!) and paired with a high-quality matte silver foil stamp.
The card box features multiple processes: Pantone special color printing, two-color hot stamping, embossing, full-page foil stamping inside the box, stamp-shaped foil stamping seal, and pearlescent numbered stickers.
The cards are printed with Pantone special color ink and have a patterned edge dyeing process on the sides.
The design of the card box is inspired by the binding of vintage books and features the same red and gold color scheme as the Lancaster Red Rose emblem. The card box is equipped with multiple processes: two-color hot stamping, embossing, full-page hot stamping inside the box, hot stamping of postage stamp-shaped sealing stickers, and pearlescent numbered stickers.
The design of the card back integrates the regal air of the ancient English royal family with the theme of the Wars of the Roses, presenting a magnificent and solemn style with European decorative patterns and red and black color combinations.
This deck was available as part of the Compilation: The Four Divine Beasts VIP Collection Boxset offered during the White Tiger Playing Cards Kickstarter Campaign.
Each set comes complete with a wooden box to house the decks, and, like ARK's previous works, these cards boast exquisite golden gilded edges.
This edition's seal stickers not only feature limited edition numbers but also display the name of the edition. This edition is prepared exclusively for our back customers as the VIP edition, in appreciation of your unwavering support for ARK throughout the years.
