Concept of the Anicca Deck All existence is impermanent. A nature marked by endless states of coming into being and passing away – a flux of arising and ceasing. The Anicca deck plays up this cycle of birth, growth, decay and demise with novel combinations of the familiar motifs of vitality and death; illustrating that they are all but parts of a whole.

52Proof Whiskey is as American as apple pie. The giant oak tree on the front of the tuck box and seal a symbol of the aging process for fine bourbon, matured in charred oak barrels to develop the distinct smoky flavour. This oak motif continues throughout the cards, from the Ace of Spades right around to the back design. While bars before prohibition were predominantly male domains, in the 1920\'s many women flocked to speakeasies in their best flapper attire. We\'ve taken inspiration from images of the era to design the court cards, the art-deco look very in-vogue at the time. The Gold Foil stamping on the outside of the tuck and luxurious red satin-finished interior makes 52Proof one of the most gorgeous boxes we\'ve ever produced - and it\'s only available in the Prohibition Box Set.

“gong xi fa cai” (Mandarin),” literally means, “Wishing you a financially prosperous year.”

The era of Prohibition is famous for its secret, smoky saloon halls from New York to Chicago to LA. This almost-mystical era of libations and gambling, gangsters and flappers, was the perfect theme for a member-exclusive deck. The classy cards of the Speakeasy Deck are perfect for any similarly classy get-together. Black and gold accents decorate the tuck and card back, where you’ll see everything from moonshine barrels to rosettes and mobsters. The gold on the court cards and card backs has a slightly metallic sheen. The tuck case is embossed and shinning with layers of gold foil and ink. Only 5,000 Speakeasy Decks were printed, so get yours while you can, old sport. This is a Limited Edition deck that is available exclusively to Club 808 Members. The seal on the top of the tuck is a Club 808 seal showing the production quantity of 5,000 decks.

This photorealistic deck combines key artistic elements of stone masonry and carpentry inspired by traditional and iconic Chinese architecture. Following Feng Shui principles, the red door invites Bicycle enthusiasts inside to experience this unique deck that honors the symmetry of design, the intricacy of the stone work, and the beauty of construction that has been perfected over centuries. Vibrant red foil paired with sculpted embossing and debossing highlight the depth and complexity of architectural detail on the tuck case. Felt vellum paper tuck case stock, to mimic the texture of weathered stonework. Back of the cards shimmer with 3 different metallic silver inks.
