This 1ST deck V4 from Chris Ramsay should not be missing from your playing card collection!īorn in Germany and currently living in Montreal, Canada. Information for playing card collectors, the 1ST playing cards V4 are out-of-print, one-off print run and no re-prints. These 1ST playing cards V4 from Chris Ramsay will never be reprinted. In Europe these 1ST playing cards V4 are available at while quantities last. The last price tag I saw for this deck was set at $30.00.After Chris's Memento Mori playing cards, the 1ST playing cards are Ramsay's second playing card release. Last I checked, you should be able to pick up 1ST Playing Cards Holo Edition - Gilded at 1ST. It did need a single spring and dribble before it fanned perfectly, but other than that it was already broken in. On a brighter note though, this deck handles amazingly well right out of the box.

Sadly, the material doesn't do well with intricate detailing so the 1ST logo on the backs of the cards and on the Ace of Spades aren't all the way visible. The high cost of this deck is attributed both to the gilding, and to the first-of-its-kind printing process involving the holographic foil + MetalLuxe material used on the backs of the cards that goes all the way to the edges. This gilded version of the deck runs $10 higher than the non-gilded for a whopping $30. There are identical jokers and a custom Ace of Spades, but other than that we do not see much of the normal 1ST flair in this luxury deck like custom court coloring, or even a card reveal on the King of Hearts. The 1ST Playing Cards come in Mnemonica stack order, but with standard faces. The tuck case is made of smooth paper with a silver holographic-foil ring rapping around, and 1ST embossed on the front. They're printed on Crushed stock with an Air Cushioned finish with beautiful MetalLuxe foiling on the backs and the Ace of Spades and Jokers. These playing cards are made with the highest quality stock by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC).

Identical to the version in every way, except these beauties feature a silver gilding around the edges. The 1ST Gilded Playing Cards Holo Edition are the fifth iteration of the elegant and luxurious playing cards by Chris Ramsay / 1ST.
