2,500 printed per update from artist in this thread at United Cardists

Funded as a Kickstarter project on February 22, 2014 with $69,452 NZD (just over $50k USD) pledged from 1,109 backers, this was a set of two decks consisting of the First Edition (standard blue tuck unlimited deck) and Grail (white tuck limited edition of 2,500 decks), plus 20 very limited commemorative sets in wooden boxes and an uncut version. Both tucks were embossed and hot stamped with gold foil with a custom seal and featured the intricately designed card back image on the back of the tuck.

A number of additional add-ons including shirts, prints, collector box, coin, poster, etc were also available.

Designed by Rick Davidson of New Zealand, this deck featured a re-interpretation of the original 15th century face cards from Rouen, France that was the basis for the current standard courts now used on so many common playing card decks. Rick carefully studied many historic cards and prints from this time period (http://originscards.com/archive/) to create his new interpretations, but also occasionally brought in modern day inspirations for facial features, including Charlize Theron for the Queen of Clubs.

The cards were printed on casino quality Bee stock with a magic finish from USPCC with special Q1 quality production. In addition, magician Lee Asher, helped design the gaff card included with the deck that featured the King of Spades and Queen of Hearts.

This PCDB Entry is for the First Edition which was not limited and in the Soft Touch Midnight Blue colored tuck. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rickdavidson/origins-playing-cards-inspired-by-history

Printed by the USPCC on Bicycle Casino stock, Magic finish. Limited to 2500.

These decks were designed by Handy Altan and produced by USPCC. The deck’s concept is based on culture from around the world. Dreamcatcher cards takes on the American Indian Culture. The back design shows circles of Dreamcatchers and Indian symbols. The faces have adopted the original Bicycle design, using dark brown pips instead of black. The court cards were also made to give off a dark brown ethnic atmosphere. No prizes for guessing it right, but the Ace of Spades and Jokers are none other than Dreamcatchers. There are also two additional gaff cards included in this deck. These cards produced in a limited run of 1,000, there will be no re-prints for this deck. For the 1st edition, only 500 decks will be available to the market while the remaining will be kept for gifts and special leather case editions.

Laissez les bon temps rouler! Let the good times roll, y'all! This is a deck inspired by the annual celebration and party that is Mardi Gras.

Illustrated by Dave Edgerly, artist behind Edgy Brothers' Dia de los Muertos playing cards and the Grimoire Series, this deck will have completely custom courts, AoS and Jokers - all based on the celebration and inspired by the krewes of Mardi Gras.

Intricately designed with a classic Southern feel, these cards appeal to my Cajun roots and remind me of how much I enjoy visiting New Orleans, especially during Carnival season!
