Chris Chelko speaking :
In January 2014, I partnered again with illustrator Mark Stutzman, and we began designing the second deck in the Whispering Imps® series: The Gamesters.
The Limited Edition Gamesters are the ultra-luxury version of that very same standard deck design and incorporates what very few decks have achieved...a revolutionary new technique of stamping Gold & Silver foils directly on to the backs of each playing card, a milestone set by the Expert Playing Card Co. last year.
The Limited Edition Gamesters is available in two versions:
BLACK & GOLD EDITION (Key Features)
- Black Back with Gold Foil "WI" Logos
- Traditionally Cut (preferred by professionals)
- Embossed Paper Stock with Premium Master Finish (for long lasting play)
- 2 Embossed Layers of Foil on the Tuck Box (Gold Foil & Black Foil)
- Limited to only 1000 Decks
RED & SILVER EDITION (Key Features)
- Red Back with Silver Foil "WI" Logos
- Traditionally Cut (preferred by professionals)
- Embossed Paper Stock with Premium Master Finish (for long lasting play)
- 2 Embossed Layers of Foil on the Tuck Box (Silver Foil & Black Foil)
- Limited to only 1000 Decks
The Innovative New Back:
The back design for the Limited Edition Gamesters is available in two colors, “Imp Red” & “Classic Black,” with the branded “WI” Logo stamped in foil directly on to each playing card in either Gold or Silver foil, centered at each end of the card.
The Tuck Box
The tuck box is manufactured from ultra-premium, un-coated, heavy-duty, white paper stock. The Gold Edition tuck features a glossy black & gold foil finish, black inks and deep precision embossing. The Silver Edition tuck features a glossy black & silver foil finish, red inks and deep precision embossing. The white decorative elements on the front of the tuck box will be embossed through the inked artwork creating a beautiful effect and adding depth to the box.
