These are the 1st Playing cards V2. Available in a limited quantity only and never to be reprinted. These Playing Cards are made with the highest quality stock by the United States Playing Card Company. Crushed and Air Cushioned finish. The tuck case is made of smooth paper that feels like velvet with a gold foil ring rapping around and 1ST debossed and cut out in the front of the deck. This deck includes identical jokers, an add card featuring an illustration by Abraham Garcia Sanchez, a 4 of spades duplicate and something special on the King of Hearts.

1st Playing Cards are the first of its kind. "1st" representing Chris Ramsay's very first solo venture in to the playing card industry but also representing the "first" comments on various platforms This deck will come in stack and comes complete with a custom design, re-coloring of face cards using metallic ink and custom jokers. You will also receive one blank card as well as a duplicate. The foil "1st" running right to the edges is something brand new which has never been done in the history of USPCC, and offers a beautiful result when fanning or spreading the deck. Together , these elements create a subtle yet strikingly bold and attractive design.

The 6th installment of the Orbit Deck is finally here. This deck is a result of a team effort by the entire Orbit Crew, and it's our most ambitious design to date. We took the best parts of the V4/V5 and combined them to make the V6. Our shared love of space, aliens, and trees made this design a beautiful harmony of things we love. The new Orbits will have the same crushed premium stock, same matte box, and same traditional cut as the V5s. Here's what we have updated: New alien Jokers who have abducted Carl and are now riding his bike! New one-way back design that will be a puzzle to solve We feel that the traditionally cut, crushed premium stock, made on the web press, creates the best feeling deck, ever. There are only around five decks out there that have this exact recipe -- two of them are Orbits. If you've felt the V4s and V5s, then you probably know what we're talking about. Since we have the feel finely tuned, we are spending a lot more of our time on design now. The entire Orbit Crew sat down and spoke about design theory along with what makes playing cards look good up close and from afar. We made more renditions of this edition than all previous back designs combined. We believe we have a formula for what makes a deck aesthetically pleasing. After months of brainstorming, we came to this final design. We couldn't be happier and it's our favorite deck to date. One of our rules is, we don't create a new Orbit Deck unless it's going to be our new favorite. If you're counting V1-V5, we have sold out of approximately 60 thousand Orbit Decks in total since the release of the V1s back in 2015. They are found in every country across the planet and the demand is only getting higher.

In the stillness of the night, when you look up at the starry sky, you will find that countless stars illuminate the entire galaxy. Only at this time will we realize that human beings are so small. Although the stars are not as dazzling as the sun and the moon, they symbolize the most precious qualities of mankind: loyalty and firmness. Esther Star Playing Cards is not only a milestone in our creation, but also represents every person who loves hie or her life. For them, this is a beautiful symbol and imprint. The stars are restrained and subtle, which walk among the clouds, reminding us with shimmering shimmer the meaning of life by welcoming every day seriously. There are two editions of this deck, Classic and Deluxe - the Classic comes in a standard tuck case, while the the latter uses the open fan-shaped design of Helius Sun and Luna Moon series.

Symbology about the backs and the decks The backs of SINS represents Eden, the place where the first Sin happened. In SINS Mentis, Eve was planning to eat the Apple of Knowledge, but she didn't actually do that - so Eden was bright. In SINS Corpus, Eve ate the Apple and she was banned. Without her and Adam, an eternal night fell on Eden. This means, chronologically, that SINS Corpus happened after SINS Mentis. In SINS Anima, Adam and Eve realized they're the first two humans in the world. They are banned, frail and mortal. But after they ate the Apple, they also are full of self-knowledge. They became the first two dreamers. Eden is now empty and is red. Red like blood and hell fire - but also red like the heart, passion and life. The three decks also represents the philosophy behind the name Thirdway Industries: thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

• Omnia Magnifica hearts, Egyptian. The King is inspired by a divine Pharaoh. Spades, Persian/Babylonian. The King is inspired by a Sultan. Diamonds, Romans. The Jack is inspired by an epic Gladiator, and the King is an Legatus. Clubs, Greek. The King is a blind Prophet, that can see future. The Jack is his personal guard. Queen of Spades is a warrior of the desert, and needs a cloak to protect herself. The Queen of Clubs is a Phytia, an epic warrior priestess who protect the Island of the Sun. Jokers are very important for this deck. They are Sole, the God of the Sun, and Luna, the Goddess of the Moon. Luna's mask is on the tuck box front and Sole's masks are on the back. The powerful queens of two distant empires in war. I consider Omnia Magnifica as my most baroque deck so far.
