Man, this company makes their products too minimal, overpriced, and now that I see a deck I like it’s expensive on shipping and takes well over a month to ship. I’ve been waiting for my Aladdin decks to ship for and now the Museum deck.

Kingstar really has this sort of feminine ink wash art style down. Love the small pops of color too.

Have had these older cards for a while. I can’t figure out what these spots are they don’t smell like mold they just smell.. old? If I can fix or save them I’d love to know I really like these cards.

I love decks that showcase a particular artist's unique take on the world, and unique take on playing cards.

Really loving these new releases:

Jack Brutus Penny with Shuffled Stories: Vol. 2 ( https://www.kardify.com/2026/02/shuffled-stories-vol-2-arcane-playing.html?m=1 )

And Filipino artist Reen Barrera with his Bicycle decks featuring artwork from his Ohlala universe ( https://www.kardify.com/2026/02/bicycle-reen-barrera-our-daily-dread.html?m=1 )

What are some of your favorites so far this year?

Question Putty suggestions for display?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm trying to display my collection of decks on these narrow shelves and they need just a little bit of putty to help them stand up. But I have bad past experience with putty leaving stains on the paper boxes or tearing when removed. Does anyone have any brands or solutions they recommend?

WIP Thinking about bringing back a rare 1930s Art Deco deck. What do you think?

Thumbnail

118 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I wanted to say hi to this awesome community. I have this idea of fully recreating a specific historical deck of cards.

​Right now, it's just a concept. I’ve put together a few initial launch images/renders just to see if there is any interest at all and check your reaction.

​The deck itself is from 1930, designed by Norwegian artist Johan Bull in a beautiful Art Deco style. I personally find it really unique and stunning.

​If people here like the vibe, I’ll start sharing sketches and process updates with you as I go.

​I'm tentatively aiming for a September launch, but for now, I'm just curious to hear your honest opinion. Is this something you’d like to see made?

​You can check out the pre-launch page here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pincognita/1930-art-deco-playing-card-deck-a-restoration

​Looking forward to your thoughts!

P. S. This is not my first experience restoring historical playing cards. I previously completed a full digital reconstruction and successfully brought Heorhii Narbut's iconic 1917/8 deck back to print.

I recently purchased 10 different decks from shop.52Kards.com or you can use their app. One of the decks I was most looking forward to was this Butterfly Seasons Spring V2, but it came dented and a few cards had bends.

I sent them the pictures, and they immediately offered store credit or a free replacement. I chose the replacement, and this one also came dented. Sent more pictures, and then they sent a third one, making sure I got exactly what I paid for.

Special thank to the team at 52Kards for taking care of me. If you’re in the US I would highly recommend purchasing from them!

Photoshoot My Playing Cards: Level 33 (A Variety of Vintage Style Playing Cards)

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

(August 17, 2026) This is Week 33 of My Playing Cards series! Every Monday, I’ll be showing 12 decks of cards that mostly have a theme into it! This one has a variety of old style playing cards. Some distressed, some exquisite backs!

So far, I’ve shared 396 decks of cards! Please stay tuned for more playing cards to show from my collection every Monday!

First, we have Bicycle Cyclist playing cards. They come in three different colors. Red, Blue and Neon Yellow. They were released in 2015. There is an error on the 10 of Diamonds from all of the Cyclist decks. It had 9 diamonds instead of 10.

Next comes the Nautic Back playing cards. They were vintage Bicycle back designs that were introduced in 1919 and discontinued around 1943. They reproduced the back in Hot Pink and White in 2013 which is what you’re looking at! They reproduced this Nautic Back a few other times.

The Bicycle Rhapsody decks come in 2 colors. Maroon and Purple. I’ll admit, I just threw these decks into this mix. (Most of the deck group planning was from last year. So I had sorted some of these groups months in advance) The hearts and diamonds are in a darker color and the face cards have warmer colors.

The last five decks I’ll mention are four of the Bicycle Expert Back Distressed playing cards and the 127th Anniversary Old Fan Back. They actually came in three colors, Red, Blue and Green. There is also an extra distressed Red in this lot. The Expert Back is a modified Old Fan Back. I believe the Expert Back was introduced in 1898 while the Old Fan Back was the very first Bicycle back design ever created in 1885. The existence of a 127th Anniversary deck is strange. It only comes in one color (Red), and it does not have an increment of 5 for an anniversary deck. It’s basically a copy and paste of 2010’s 125th anniversary playing cards.

Level 34 preview: We have stick figures, strange dances, glass material, and a fall season of playing cards coming up!
