Echo & Thousand Mile Scroll Playing Cards by TCC Fashion

Over the last couple of years TCC Playing Cards has been releasing a number of decks of custom playing cards under the label TCC Fashion.  The goal of this series is to produce quality playing cards that are the best value for money, which special design features such as holographic foils, lenticular printing, color-changing UV ink, embossing, or unique artistic designs, all at an affordable price capped at US $11.95.

So far they have succeeded quite admirably at achieving this, and their deck designs they've released so far include the following:
● TCC Fashion V1 (2023): Rainbow HOLO, City of Mirrors, David, Lithography
● TCC Fashion V2 (2024): Cat & Dog, Fortress, Sakura, Peacock
● Recent releases: Round Moon (2024), Year of the Snakes (2025), Rose (2025)

Now in close succession they have released two more custom decks under the TCC Fashion label:
● Echo Playing Cards
● Thousand Mile Scroll Playing Cards

These continue to live up to the vision that TCC has for their Fashion series, namely "With a harmonious fusion of captivating aesthetics, superior craftsmanship, and unbeatable affordability, we aim to provide our customers with an extraordinary value-for-money experience."  Like the previous decks in the series, these are standard poker sized cards (62mm x 88mm), and besides 52 playing cards there are also two custom jokers and two ad cards.

Here's some information about the two new decks, and the features that are unique to each:

Echo Playing Cards

Echo Playing Cards is a deck themed around music. 



As one of the included ad cards explains: "The word "music" hails from the ancient Greek mousike, signifying the art of the Muses, and stands as one of humanity's most resplendent cultural treasures.  We are moved by music, we compose, perform, listen, and encounter echoes of countless maestros, and the harmonious resonance of venerable forebears in the realm of melody."

The musical theme is immediately evident from the card backs, which includes ornamentation with musical notes.



But as you'd expect, it's especially the court cards that bring the music theme to life.







The number cards and pips are also stylized and use a custom colour scheme in keeping with the rest of the deck.



Finally we have two custom jokers.



A gorgeous version of the deck with purple gilding with starry patterns is also available, in a limited edition of just 300.



Both decks have custom seals, but in the case of the gilded deck it is individually numbered.



A striking and unique feature of the tuck box of both decks is that it uses lenticular printing.  This means that as you slowly rotate the angle in which you are viewing the deck, it creates the illusion of a changing image, with one illustration morphing into another.  A mysterious figure - possibly a muse - magically seems to appear and then vanish again, as you hold up the deck.



Thousand Mile Scroll Playing Cards

Thousand Mile Scroll Playing Cards reimagines "The Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains", a famous Chinese painting by Wang Ximeng. The painting dates back 900 years, and is recognized as one of China's top ten masterpieces.  In real life the painting - which is painted on silk - is a panoramic landscape picture more than 10 meters long.



As one of the included ad cards explains: "During the Northern Song Dynasty, traditional Chinese painting reached its first golden age.  Among its finest works is The Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, created by Wang Ximeng.  Inspired by this masterpiece, we have crafted a deck of playing cards that captures the grandeur of this iconic landscape."

The tuck box immediately introduces us to the painting artwork, including its Chinese name, "Qian Li Jiang Sang", and the glorious colours and style also makes an appearance in the over-sized Ace of Spades.



The court cards depict a variety of traditional Chinese characters.







Complete customization has also been applied to all the number cards.



The two custom jokers function as a diptych, and combine to produce a single image.



A similar technique has been applied to the card backs, and the 13 backs of each suit can be arranged in order to form a continuous panoramic image, representing part of the original artwork.



The tuck box features delightful interior printing, touched with gold foil, matching the stylish gold foil on the outside of the box.



An appropriate custom seal finishes off the deck, ensure it has good looks both inside and out.
