Merah Putih (Red White) Playing Cards are inspired by the attractive and intricate design of the 1800's era. A groundbreaking deck, the first playing cards to celebrate the Independence Day of Indonesia on August 17th.

The White Edition features a different design to distinguish from the Red Edition (2018) yet it still makes one series of a deck as is the national motto of Indonesia "Bhineka Tunggal Ika" (Unity in Diversity). The card back featured the Coat of Arms of Indonesia called Garuda Pancasila which is originally designed by Sultan Hamid II of Pontianak and was adopted as the national coat of arms on February 1, 1950. New jokers and a set of court cards have been added to complete this deck.

This is my sixth playing cards design following Aquila (Standard Edition & Limited Edition - 2014, Produced by Kardify & Three of Club, Manufactured by Legends Playing Cards Company - UC Deck of the Year 2014 1st Place Best Pips, 2nd Place Best Gaff Cards), Trikard Viridian (2015 - Produced by Kardify & Three of Club, Manufactured by Legends Playing Cards Company), Merah Putih - Red Edition (2018), Six Strings (2019 - Produced by Kardify & Murphy's Magic, Manufactured by USPCC).

Merah Putih is my personal project with a limited number of deck produced. Printing a small amount of deck is quite a challenge due to finding a factory that delivers good quality card stock and handling. This project is the result of research which delivers the quality and handling that meet the expectation.

Features :
- Premium Embossed Card Stock to ensure the quality of the handling
- 52 Cards + Jokers
- Thin Borders
- Vintage Back Design
- Reimagined and Redrawn Vintage Court Card
- Custom Ace of Spade

Tuckcase :
- Gold Foil, Embossing on uncoated British FSC Certified paper
- Numbered Stamp Seal (Inside the cellophane wrapper)

- Collector Box & Gold Foil Certificate of Authenticity signed by Yours Truly

Thank you!
- Ade

Same printer that I used for the Red Edition last year, but this one is feel close to Classic Finish instead of Diamond Finish (like the Red Edition).
For the printer I'm using a factory in china (not MPC), and the deck handle pretty good I must said.

Print run of just 100 and less, I don't think it'll matter even if the printer name is revealed, e.g. 3:30 "Smaller printing house":



But in terms of using "Classic" and "Diamond" for finish names, I'm guessing it'll be similar to Legends' stock and finish?

I've said above the printer was in china, I have been using them to make prototype since 2015, and the stock was pretty good to say at least.
It fan nicely and faro easily.
I'm not saying this is exactly "Classic" or "Diamond" but yes from what it feels, looks and weight it's similar to Legend's stock.

If you plan on abusing these beautiful limited decks, please leave them for me where they will never see the light of day. I’m looking forward to snagging another one this year.

Is there an estimated price for these?

The only thing that doesn't do it for me, are the Jacks with the helmet, but I totally get why it was choosen and despite that, everything is pretty beautiful imo. Great job. The tuck looks gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for white and gold tucks (can only be beaten by white and really pinkish roségold :D ).

The beautiful detailed inner printing of the tuck screams for a tuck flip as in ripping it open to turn it inside out. :twisted:

Thanks Vasta. I remember last year's deck hit my wallet. I'm still ready to do it again though. :ugdance:

I am not sure these will ever be in huge demand though in the secondary market.

The tuck does look quite amazing. Too bad there is a huge f@$%&* sticker covering nearly 20% of the back. F%@# me.

Also, if it is $67, not even with cold foiled card back would I be in for this.

Again, HotRS was $25. More than double the price for less.

Amazing tuck though!

I was much slower, but I had to complete the form while driving and struggled with the correct format for the phone number section. Hope I still made it. I hope I put in my information correctly!

I have just got the confirmation of my order and paid for the decks so I am all set. Would be a nice addition to the two of my red decks and the Six Strings half brick.
