The Second Annual "National Playing Card Collection Day"

These decks represent how we see the art of card collection - beautifully unique, consistently dynamic, and authentically yours. The decks are designed to compel and test the boundaries of the playing card world to keep our art consistently growing. They're kept at small runs not because of artificial limits, but because they're handcrafted, side stepping the industrial world of automation in favor of a more authentic handmade piece of art for your collection.

A whisk of original design with a familiar playing card aesthetic, Flourish is a sweet new deck unlike any we've seen before. The bakery theme delights with every card and leaves us wanting more. From the original pink back design to the illustrated court cards and custom faces, Flourish is full of flavor and irresistible to our collection. Like fine chocolate, the luxurious packaging is only a hint at the delectable cards inside. The gorgeous tuck case features foil and embossing on a rich paper to excite your senses. Printed by the US Playing Card Co. on our trademark thin-stock preferred by cardists. Although printed exclusively for Column Five Media we convinced them to allow us to offer a small batch to our customers. Don't miss out on this sweet opportunity!

Duplicate!

Besides having the tuck saying, "Cincinnati, Ohio", the bottom has the Tally Ho Poker 9 trademark with no additional text while the Kentucky deck has a long copyright text. In addition, the Ohio tuck seem to have a wider border compared to the Kentucky counterpart. Although Ohio printed decks are normally found with a blue seal, these have a black seal sticker, leading one to conclude that these are, what is commonly known as, "transformer decks"; tuck cases manufactured in Ohio for decks that were ultimately packaged in the new Kentucky plant. Oddly enough, it seems as though these decks were manufactured in and around 2006 which is three years before the move to Kentucky.
