Inspired by 1980's pop culture the Checkerboard Playing Cards were released on the 16th of June 2017 as the debut offering from Anyone Worldwide.
The limited edition batch of 2809 decks sold out within 2 hours. The deck was priced at an above average $18 while now averaging $90 to $110 in the resale market.
The deck features a chequered pattern back with a single distinct red square. The courts are standard but updated to include the chequered pattern into some of the dressing elements. Also, the same chequered pattern can be found on the pip cards and the Ace of Spades.
The cards are produced in limited quantity runs but will continue to be printed to fulfil demand.
R.01 (first print run of 5000) can be identified by the King of Hearts on the back of the tuck.
The OG Black Logo could first be purchased on Black Friday 24th November 2017.
It is printed on crushed stock with the Anyone logo displayed in a simple design. The Logo deck features ultra vibrant court cards, amazing add cards and a cool Ace of Spades. The seal on the back is orange.
Originally the Dot Playing Cards were released early October 2017. The Dot design features a visually weighted red dot on a grey back.
One-way designs were usually avoided to hide the orientation of the cards, naturally making this an unexplored concept in cardistry back then.
Chinatown Market edition Fontaines are the 8th deck of Fontaine Cards by Zach Mueller, made in collaboration with Mike Cherman and world famous Alexander Bortz. A limited run of 10,000 decks are available now.
