One of many reasons USPCC lagged behind Cartamundi and TWPCC was their lack of printing technology, but thanks to Cartamundi's acquisition of USPCC, USPCC finally has upgraded their printing tech and can now do cold foiling! The Bicycle Peacock deck was the first deck to use this technology, but it only used traditional gold foiling. This is the second ever USPCC deck with cold foiling and it features full holographic foiling for the card backs, as well as holo foiling on the Ace of Spades and court cards. It was only sold at CardCon 2022 in a limited run of 1500 and there are no plans for this deck to be produced as a regular production run, so this 1500 is all there will ever be!

The Black & Silver edition is the brightest deck of the Butterfly Playing Cards Black family. It showcases a silver foil to make Stefan Eriksson's beautiful back design artwork even prettier. You will find the foil also on the faces of all of the court cards, the Ace of Spades and one of the two jokers. All four aces have large custom centre pips in the theme of the floral back design. The magic enthusiasts will be delighted to find a double-backer to use in their card magic routines. All Butterfly Playing Cards Black prototypes have been printed by Cartamundi with the True Linen B9 finish. Cartamundi accidentally made the Black & Silver edition more valuable to collectors, by printing Black & Gold on the box. So when you see them being sold on ebay for some ridiculous money, remember that we told you! Only 500 silver foiled prototypes exist. 250 were gilded to test compatibility of gilded edges with the magic features of the deck, and 250 were left non-gilded to compare advantages of both versions. The gilded decks proofed to be functional and will be used to promote a crowdfunding campaign that will launch in Summer 2019. 200 of the non-gilded Black and Silver prototype decks are available for sale and will never be reprinted.
