National Playing Card Collection Day was created to help spread awareness of our art to the world. It accompanied the launch of Portfolio52, the world's largest online playing card database. The free service offers an easier way for collectors to discover and manage their personal collections. A limited edition deck of 400 was crafted by Alexander Chin to commemorate this holiday.

MADE BY HAND

The PCCD Deck is the most labor intensive deck ever produced by Seasons. Each deck is run by hand through offset, letterpressed on premium cotton paper, hot foil stamped in gold, diecut, folded, glued, and then sealed with an individually numbered seal of authenticity. Organic black forms a column that drips into the diamond emblem featuring the inauguration.

I C O N S" Imperial Reverse edition

"IMPERIAL REVERSE" edition is a strictly limited production: Only 55 decks will be EVER produced.

The  "I C O N S   I M P E R I A L  Reverse Edition". A deck having silver foil where the original has gold and vice versa!

THE TUCK:

The deck comes in a black velvet tuck case with silver foil.  Absolutely stunning!

Funded as a Kickstarter project on March 19, 2015 with kr462,035 (Swedish Krona, which is about $57k USD) pledged from 1,015 backers, this was the Kickstarter attempt at funding this project after the failed CardLauncher (cardlauncher.com) platform attempt, where that platform has since been abandoned.  In that process an earlier protoype (V.01) was created as a prototype and also as a promotional deck for CardLauncher itself which had 55 cards with black and white courts, different tuck-box, different aces, and was printed by MakePlayingCards in 525 units. 

For this project the deck was revised with new and modified face cards, back and tuck and was available in Bicycle branded, unbranded, plus a special Crown Edition hand created tuckcase with the same size and face cards.  It was printed by USPCC on Bicycle Stock with 56 cars including 3 jokers and a gaff card with a custom seal and embossed tuck used on both decks.  The deck as also available as an add-on in uncut format.  In addition, mini and micro formats were available as gifts with larger sized tiers which were printed by MPC (MakePlayingCards.com).

There is no specific theme in this deck, it´s quite eclectic and I let my fantasy run when I illustrated the courts. The diamonds have clearly an Egyptian resemblance, but overall they belong to a parallel world. There is a thing that connects all the court cards: the text circling the background is a part of the Aeneid, a Latin epic poem written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. 

Heretic Playing Cards by Lorenzo Gaggiotti (Stockholm17) is based on alchemy and the hermetic world. Salt (for the Jacks), Sulfur (for the Queens) and Mercury (for the Kings) are the three basic ingredients of the alchemist. This PCDB entry is for the uncut Noctis Joker sheet which was a surprise gift to all uncut backers as the printing of these uncuts was also unexpected per the artist. It simply contains repeating cards for the additional 3 cards included in the Noctis deck (3rd Joker, double backed Lux/Noctis and the color change gaff card). While there technically was a Lux Joker set, none were left as uncut and instead distributed with the related deck. There also are Lux and Noctis versions and related standard decks of each. In addition, there was a VERY limited subset of both Lux and Noctis that were signed and wax sealed called Heretic Gran Riserva. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/requiemcards/heretic-playing-cards

Heretic Playing Cards by Lorenzo Gaggiotti (Stockholm17) is based on alchemy and the hermetic world. Salt (for the Jacks), Sulfur (for the Queens) and Mercury (for the Kings) are the three basic ingredients of the alchemist. This PCDB entry is for the Lux version of the Gran Riserva edition, Mercury class (just 6 serialized decks made with this class seal). Each deck in each class for the Gran Riserva editions have a custom printed seal for each class, plus a wax seal and signed by the artist. Other classes available in the Gran Riserva edition were classes for Sulfur, Salt and Antimony (for both Lux and Noctis), each with different quantities made. These are the tuck and cards as the basic versions of Lux and Noctis, but with the added seals and signed. In addition, there was also the basic versions of both the Lux and Noctis decks, plus uncuts of each. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/requiemcards/heretic-playing-cards

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.

Experimental Deck, printed on bronze stock with silver foil on the backs.

100 made, 80 for Patrons

For nearly all the Elixirs, each one is run out of 15 decks total. For all this each one of these decks isn't extravagently priced, because as an artist it's about connecting with your fans and this is my way of connecting with you all. The kind of event where people will be talking about long after it ends.

This was more of a concept that never came to fruition. The whole idea was that when you ordered the Elixir from the site the Apothecary or magical tree would give you a deck. But the whole gimmick was that based on the time of day you bought the deck, the deck would change based on the season. Tested that concept around with a few people and it wasn't as well received as I was hoping for so I'm just releasing them all at once.
