The Private Reserve decks are the true, original vision for the Whispering Imps® playing cards created by Chris Chelko, hand illustrated by world renowned artist Mark Stutzman and printed to exact specifications by The Expert Playing Card Company. Two versions of the Private Reserves were printed for Whispering Imps Productions in extremely limited quantities. The classic back design in Imp Red, housed in a thick matte black paper tuck and stamped with the trademark Whispering Imp in Bright Red foil, and the classic back design in Black, housed in a thick matte black paper tuck and stamped with the trademark Whispering Imp in Gold foil. The Private Reserve decks were printed in response to the Original & Special Edition decks being completely sold out and with the intent to remain a true, private reserve. Never to be sold and for the private use of those who have acquired them.

In January 2014, I partnered again with illustrator Mark Stutzman, and we began designing the second deck in the Whispering Imps® series: The Gamesters.

In January 2015, the Standard Edition Gamesters were completely funded by over 500 backers on Kickstarter!  The Limited Edition Gamesters are the ultra-luxury version of that very same design and incorporates what very few decks have achieved...a revolutionary new technique of stamping Gold & Silver foils directly on to the backs of each playing card, a milestone set by the Expert Playing Card Co. last year. 

The Limited Edition Gamesters will be available in two versions:
