This little bit of info is just casually tucked away on Captan Card Co's site

In partnership with the Fitzgerald Estate, the Captan Card Co. will create the first ever deck of luxury playing cards for THE GREAT GATSBY. It will be released in 2023 for the 98th Anniversary of the historic novel

Seeing how he did with the Artist cards, I'm stoked for this release.

"So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star."

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

Hey guys! Haha, you beat me to it. Just dropped the first teaser. Check it out here and follow for more on Instagram!

The new Theory11, but with better art inside

This has my attention

Definitely following!

Gatsby believed in the green light…

I love the art deco inspiration! The movie poster with Leo DiCaprio had similar art deco style.

I’m still interested but I’m not a fan of that seal at all. Maybe it’s the colour or the seal covering the design but not a fan at the moment.

Can't wait to see more, already excited for this one.

Wow, what I see of the art so far freakin' NAILS IT.

You have my attention, sir!

That said... I didn't read this book in high school when most of my classmates did (long story short; I had switched English classes mid-year and left one teacher's class before she got to it and joined the other class after they'd finished it.) I read it about ten years ago or so just to see what the fuss was about.

I'm reading along, reading along... yeah, this is good, but it's not like it's all that.

And then I get to this line on the last page, and given the context of everything that had come before, it just absolutely wrecked me:

I realize art affects us all in different ways, and different folks took different things away from this novel, but holy crap. That line out of context is just good writing. But for me, in the context of the novel, that line is one of the most devastating sentences I've ever read.

I like what I've seen so far and I like that seal a lot. The contrast of the bright green with the rest of the tuck is very evocative.

Thank you so much! More to come soon… But for now, here’s a sneak peek at the front of the box!

Release date announced! 6/21 Mark your calendars!

Is this a Kickstarter campaign or a direct release?

This will launch on Kickstarter!

That's cool! This is inspiring me to read the book again

Box reveal! For the black edition…

You hit the nail on the head with those spectacles and eyes. I get a very eerie feel from them.

Thank you so much! That was the intention! It was definitely a Tetris game fitting references and designs together haha.

Is there a KS preview link?

Officially licensed! Was wondering about the similarities to the Leo poster+his signature on the tuck. Very nice get, Andrei.

Thank you so much for the kind words!

I wanted to announce that the Kickstarter will launch on 6/27! not the 21st.

White Edition. 6/27
