The Osprey & Goshawk two-deck vintage playing cards collectors set will launch on Kickstarter on July 24th. It includes a red deck and a blue deck, both stored in a custom tobacco tin designed to resemble an antique.
This two-deck set is drawn from scratch, by hand, by the lead artist at A. Haines Playing Cards, and features classic motifs and design cues taken from a bygone age of playing card design.
The blue deck, Osprey No. 2, is named after the majestic bird of the same name and features original artwork throughout: boasting a luxury thick matte tuck printed inside and out.
The red deck, Goshawk No. 3, is the perfect companion to the Osprey and features a unique tuck, Aces, Jokers and back but identical Courts and face cards. These decks complement each-other perfectly.
The Courts are drawn by hand in an antique style, at once familiar yet distinctive, using a vintage colour palette, and follow a standard theme.
The Aces are all custom and feature more unique artwork, with strong classic motifs on the Aces of Spades, all drawn from scratch using no stock elements. Each deck features two unique Jokers and an extra card.
Printed to the highest standards using pre-crushed stock and Classic Finish by Legends Playing Card Co.
