These are standard edition-make decks made by Richert Karuta rather than Oishi Tengudo, with plain 1-colored backs rather than silver-patterned ones like the Limited Edition. But! They do come with the same silver stamps you see on the limited edition on seven of the cards, and they also come in individual paulownia wooden boxes, in turn placed inside a wider paulownia box. The individual boxes are different from the Limited Edition in that they don't have gold hot-stamped on them, instead paper labels as on the basic standard edition. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/karuta/shiki-japanese-style-playing-cards/description

The Mercury Flower Playing Cards produced by 猫哥（Azoth）of Azoth Playing Cards（@azoth_playing_cards）and printed by the United States Playing Card Company（@officialbicyclecards）in a custom Carat Case made especially for the Mercury Flower Playing Cards . Azoth is a prominent playing card collector in China that wanted to use the finest materials and techniques available to create a deck of cards with supreme handling and looks that surpassed anything in existence. After two years of designing and prototyping, the Mercury Flower Playing Cards were finally produced at a whopping cost of over 40USD per deck, the most expensive deck produced in USPCC history. The result is an amazing custom deck of holographic gilded playing cards with hot stamped silver foil backs and silver metallic ink printed on thin crushed stock, housed in 3 nesting holographic foil (inside and outside) tuck boxes that use the finest black paper stock available. What's even more mind blowing is that Azoth never intended for Mercury Flower to be sold to the public, but instead he has only given them to friends and family.
