Outside velvet. Purple with hot stamped gold foil. Very Byzantine. ;)

Question- will the tuck be a standard size or a little bigger?

Oh, and I can't wait to fork over my money for this.

It has to be just slightly bigger but almost unnoticeable. I got a sample today of what foil on velvet looks like and I'm very impressed to say the least.

I'm psyched! A little bigger is okay- as long as it's smaller than the MPC Impressions tuck (which barely fit in my card display but still fit nonetheless). Because I want to show off this deck for sure! Another question- are you wrapping the deck in cellophane and/or putting a custom seal on it, one that will stick to velvet?

I want people to be able to SEE this deck. So I'm doing whatever I can to help/encourage to this direction. There will be no cellophane, no sticker. Only a sleeve similar to V. Gold but from a different material. Plus, this time I'll offer a couple of display cards.

Last but not leas, the stock. I'll be using the high quality embossed stock that EPCC and LPCC use. This will spectacularly improve the handling.

Sigh. I usually stay away from the ultra limited, expensive versions but, gold and silver foil on the cards... purple velvet with gold... not sealed so I wouldn't feel guilty about opening them... I feel myself weakening...

I absolutely HATE them.

This deck looks awesome though and this special edition even more so (although I doubt I will be able to justify spending what is sure to be a pretty penny for a deck of cards). Can't wait to see it and decide either way! Great work as always.

I love seals as a design element but when I realized that they prevent collectors from actually seeing the deck, I became less "hot" about seals...
Instead I'm working on alternative ways to "seal" the deck, like the band I used in Venexiana Gold. For low number print runs I can manually number the decks, adding to the uniqueness of each item but for large numbers I cannot do that.
