Category: GILDED

Many years ago I received an email asking if a deck of my cards were authentic. Turns out they were bootlegged copies found at a night market in Asia. It made me think what the act of copying a deck would look like--so I bootlegged my own using an old Xerox Machine.

These Chinatown Cards have never looked so good--a complete replica of the original classic made as a facsimile. 

Tuck box is a photocopy printed on matte paper and is striking.

Only 25 of these decks exist in their respective gilded color way complete with authentic seal that matches the gild color.

Printed in China on Cardistry Stock.

Zoe ★★★★★

The gilded edges actually look like real gold leaf in person and riffle smooth without flaking, which I didn't expect at this price. Knowing the whole concept started from someone finding knockoffs at a night market makes the deck feel like a weird little piece of card history.

Hannah V. ★★★★★

I was immediately drawn to the story behind the deck—the bootleg origin adds a cool backstory to an already stunning card set. The gilding on the edges is flawless and gives each shuffle a satisfying glint.

Robert ★★★★★

The gilded edges catch the light every time I fan the deck out, which makes shuffling feel like a little event. Knowing the whole concept came from someone spotting knockoffs at a night market makes owning this feel like an inside joke I'm part of.
