No year in the bottom. Black seal

Gold standard decks have gold seals, wrapper tear strips and sticker.

Also available in the earlier black version, this deck from Theory 11 was released in 2013, was illustrated by hand in South Africa and designed by Simon Frouws. They featured elegant gold foil stamped onto ultra-lux black paper derived from sustainable forests. Produced by USPCC, the stock is from FSC-certified papers derived from sustainable forests, vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates. Sealed with a red tax-stamp, vintage sticker seal marked with the exact month and year of print. Containing largely standard face cards, the emphasis is on the premium foil tuck, card back artwork and stock quality that also was environmentally conscious.

Daniel Madison and Chris Ramsay have teamed up to bring you one of the most elegant and high quality decks to ever come out of the USPCC. A crushed stock, coupled with a smooth finish and traditional cut, make this deck feel as good as it looks. The Knight: It's the most devastating and unpredictable piece on the board. Unlike the Bishop, Rook or even the Queen, the Knight isn't bound by what surrounds it. It is the only piece capable of escaping its opponents by leaping over them. "I Believe Every Chess Player Senses Beauty..." -GM Vladimir Kramnik. A few surprises lie within the simplistic and classic mate white and gold foil tuck. These hidden features embody the aesthetics and practicality which appeal to magicians, gamblers and chess players alike. Metallic Gold ink coupled with original art work from the insanely creative mind of Oban Jones brings this iconic piece of design to life before your very eyes. YOUR MOVE

Blood Kings by Daniel Madison & Peter McKinnon are the last in the Kings series of playing cards.  Stacked in mnemonica straight out of the box, these cards ooze sophistication from their warm, blood-red backs.  For this stunning second edition, we've changed the paper vault for these beautiful cards to an under-stated, minimal tuck case, blood-soaked with a deep red Blood Kings logo proudly on the front.  Some Kings like opulence, true Kings prefer power... The sides read 'Live Like Kings' - Die Like Kings', a nod to the previous best-selling versions and a final goodbye from this influential series.  GAFFS INCLUDED The Angle Z Gaff is dead, but the double-backer lives on.  Instead, we've added a duplicate Queen of Hearts in each deck that sits proudly on top of your stack. Behind every great King, is a powerful Queen.  Blood Kings. Only in death can they live forever.

Manufactured by USPCC, this unbranded deck reportedly was in development for 5 years with 3 designers working together before Ellusionist released it in 2009 as the first in their new line of signature playing cards. This is the white version of the Arcane deck, but there was also a black version, as well as a rare red and gold ones (variations of the black). The deck was designed for magic and cardistry use by the use of the unique back design and custom jokers plus gaff card, in addition to standard game play. Many may consider the unique jokers the most interesting component from a collector perspective. The courts feature variations of standard courts with modified outfits and smokey/faded look. The tuck also claims to feature the first use of a wraparound design. Per playingcards.wikidot.com, they are printed on \\\\\\\"Aurora\\\\\\\"" stock

From Neil Patrick Harris, a legendary deck of premium playing cards that exudes elegance and sophistication.

Ad copy: "Rockets are a taste of nostalgia. A deck of cards born from a world of pure imagination. Styled from the famous frozen treat, Rockets look just as tasty in your hand. The back design is simple, imperfect and fun. Adding boldness back into your card handling." Notes: The deck comes with two identical jokers, a double backer and an additional 9 of spades.

Brush playing cards feature organic brush strokes in complementary colors - representing the creative process of an artist. Printed by The U.S. Playing Card Co. As an artist, your only tool is a brush. As a cardist, your only tool is a deck of cards. This analogy is what inspired the philosophy behind BRUSH Playing Cards. The minimalistic designs, complementary colors, and distinct borders all come together to visually accentuate the work of a card artist. Using organic brush strokes as an analog for the artistic medium, BRUSH conveys an abstract approach to playing cards while maintaining the powerful minimalism of the dealersgrip brand.
