Title: playing cards with unique art on every card
Post by: Jan Paparazzi on May 15, 2023, 08:57:03 AM

I am not sure if this topic is placed in the right spot. Anyway ...

I recently decide to start a new hobby and that is collecting luxury or premium playing cards. But I am not that fond on decks with regular number cards, I really want to collect playing card decks with all unique art and not just unique art on the aces and face cards. I already found out that Art of Play has some of those and a few other decks here and there. Where can I find some more? Decks are good, but companies who make these kind of decks are even better. I am not really in the mood for watching thousands of youtube reviews to find an occasional deck that is what I am looking for.  :D

Let me put up a list of stuff I discovered:

01. Ultimate Deck (Stranger Deck) - Art of Play
02. Cabinetarium - Art of Play
03. Vivid Kingdoms - Ten Hundred
04. Ethereal Dreams - Digital Desire
05. Culturae Animalis - Jack Penny
06. Dinosaur Playing Cards- Art of Play
07. Eastern Forest - Art of Play
08. Into the Weird - Art of Play
09. The Magicians - Biz and Friends
10. Playing Arts - Digital Abstracts
11. Pipmen World Full Art - Elephant
12. Eye of the Ocean - Stockholm17
13. Vaxa Deck - Leah Pantea
14. Bosch Puzzle Playing Cards - Guru
15. 5th Kingdom - Prototype

There are also some decks that have "normal" number cards I still find interesting like for example Beowulf (Kings Wild), Black Requiem (Stockholm17) or Tempo (Art of Play). But I have to really like the face cards and box/back cover art and usually the number cards are numbers, but are still a little different.

A handful of the Karnival branded decks from Big Blind Media in the UK (printed by USPC, most of them were Bicycle-branded) have all-unique art for every card.  The Dead Eyes were one deck that stands out, for sure.

Anne Stokes, a very Gothic-style artist, has a handful of deck designs under her belt - each face is unique artwork.

There was a UK clothing brand that was releasing all-unique faces on their decks, at least some of them - can't remember the name off the top of my head.  I do recall they had tattoo flash art on each card face, which was pretty cool.

Does EPHEMERID (https://mr-cup.myshopify.com/products/ephemerid-playings-cards-deluxe-edition-v2) by Mr. Cup qualify or are you looking for very different art?

Check out The Octopus Playing Cards (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lunacharlotteart/the-octopus-tarot-and-playing-cards). There is a Tarot version of them too.

Technically The Green Man (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dimmideck/the-green-man-by-jocu-playing-cards) by Jocu are all custom but only one pip on the number cards is different.

At the Table (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arynlei/at-the-table-playing-cards) definitely fits what you're looking for.

River and Stone (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bethsobel/river-and-stone-playing-cards)

Pretty sure Open Portals (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamesreads/open-portals-playing-cards) are all unique.

Rx Almanac (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meadowlark/the-rx-almanac-playing-cards)

Infinite Collision (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1507293104/infinite-collision-playing-cards-deck)
