Red White Lions Series A with no markings - this deck comes in cellophane and has red cards. 2. Red White Lions Series A with a black dot on the deck seal - this deck comes in cellophane and contains blue White Lions cards printed on UV card stock. (Both of the above decks were included in the David Blaine\\\'s V1 Variety Box). 3. Red White Lions Series A autographed by David Blaine - this deck comes with no cellophane and contains purple White Lions cards (spectral). This deck was created when they switched the ink on the printing press from blue to red.

Only 100 of them are in existence.
