Created in collaboration with artist Dan Frederickson,, each uncut sheet, measuring 22 x 26.5 inches, features Ross Bertram’s photo of Vernon, reimagined through the text of The Expert at The Card Table. The reverse, playing cards one through fifty-two, is a reproduction of the Bee® brand deck Erdnase would have used at the turn of the century. Each uncut sheet is paired with a signed and numbered certificate in the form of a deck of cards. Additionally included are a museum-grade placard, letter pressed and fit for a gallery, and a playing card featuring a facsimile of Vernon’s signature and his age old mantra: “be natural.” Join us as we invite you to hang history on the wall - a true work of art and a constant source of inspiration. Signed and numbered edition of 500.

NOTE - The front of the uncut sheet has standard deck faces and the uncut was meant to show the back which in uncut form has this portrait, as a result the uncut back is considered the front for this entry.

Inspired by an old pack of cards from the 90s released as a promotional item by Philip Morris for their discount cigarette brand, Bucks. We've always liked this deck for its vintage back design, color pallet, unique quality, and of course, the title. Long out of print and somewhat hard to track down, we decided to make our own.

Illustrated by Jeff Trish to look as close to the original as possible but with a two-headed deer as the Buck Twins. Additional details include a custom Ace of Spades, Joker, and promotional card.

Limited Edition of 2,003 Decks. Printed by the U.S. Playing Card Company on their classic Bicycle® stock.

Join the party and celebrate like its 1984.
