Coming soon from Gamblers Warehouse and I assume printed by Liberty Playing Cards, looks pretty nice.

Apparently these were designed by Jackson Robinson, so probably made by USPC, also known as the Liberty Backs.

Boy that table looks familiar...........

Yes it does and it should

Just realizing that GW doesn't create any wack decks or put stuff out there just cause.

So, which is it?

I don't know, they didn't say.

We will be printing these in-house at Liberty and they will be priced the same as the Bicycle standard decks.

We will also be releasing a limited edition version for collectors. More info and teaser images to come shortly.

Red & Blue I assume? Is the collectors just a different tuck? Will the quality be comparable to a Bicycle?

Yes it will

Wait, wait, wait.

So GW owns Liberty? Someone put me up to speed please. That's news to me!

GW now owns both Liberty and Apollo - which have both Kodachrome (digital) and also Heidelberg (sheet fed offset lithographic) presses, just like USPCC, Legends/Expert PCC and many others.

USPCC also uses the French made "Web press" for large jobs, like casino decks, but AFAIK, all custom decks are made using Heidelberg presses.

Ahh interesting! I had no clue.

Did this happen within the last year? The only deck I have which I know was printed by Liberty is the War of Kings deck by Andy Fisher (which I received in January 2014). I know that Andy had multiple issues with them including an error at the factory which required reprinting, they forgot to pull uncuts and many decks were damaged due to poor packaging during shipment. Also, while the cards are fine, it is without a doubt, the worst tuckbox I've ever received. It's too large and comes unglued easily. Hopefully, GW is aware of previous issues and has plans to make sure the quality has improved.

The only one that I am aware of is the black (limited) version of the 4PM Design "Legacy" deck, and the tuck for it is fine. I have an open deck, it handles as well as I can shuffle, which isn't that well, since my right wrist is locked/fused.

I can likewise vouch for the fact that those decks look pretty good, as far as I can see, but then again, my eyesight is deteriorating rapidly with age, so I can't really see all that well.

Incidentally, tell those kids to get off my lawn.

Blackout Kingdom Gold Edition was also printed by Liberty which is a gorgeous tuck...

To Be Released Soon !! Liberty Limited Black Star Edition Playing Cards
Metallic Gold Tuck Stock
Black Matte Foil

Simplistic, but absolutely gorgeous! And of course I love the star, reminds me of Texas

Diggin' the tuck! Let's see some cards.

Advertised by KWP:

A look at my new deck just released at the 52 + Joker convention.

So this version and the limited version will both be available on the GW web site? How many were printed?

So when is this coming? It's been listed as coming soon for 6 months now.

Soon.

Very beautiful deck. Another homerun by JR.

Whennnnnnn...?!

They were released last week at the convention but not sure when they go on sale for everyone

When?

What does soon really mean? [emoji12]

Don't understand why they don't want to sell these
