The A. Haines Patreon Membership: Our Most Exclusive & Collectable Decks

Exquisite hand-drawn artwork, unique heritage styling, premium and luxury stocks and finishes, individually signed and numbered tuckboxes and small-batch print runs: this blog post is all about our most exclusive and collectable decks of playing cards: those that we create for our valued members over on the A. Haines Playing Cards Patreon

In June of 2024, we set up a Patreon channel with the intention of offering members an insight behind-the-scenes into our creative process, along with a small discount code for the store and the promise that they would be first in line for any news related to the brand. 

Just two years on, we have successfully delivered the first year of exclusive reward decks, and the reward decks for our second year are, at the time of writing, in production and expected to ship to members later this month. This year we also upgraded all our rewards  packages to include gilded edition luxury decks that were added by us as a thank-you. All the photos included in this blog post are of the various Patreon reward decks we have created for our member community. 

How does the A. Haines Playing Cards Patreon work, I hear you ask? Well, it is very simple - members join at a monthly or annual subscription tier (each tier named after a playing card suit such as Hearts, Spades etc.) and in return for their financial (and often emotional!) support they receive annual reward commensurate with their pledge level. There are five tiers in total, with the three higher tiers all opting members in to receive some combination of the rare & collectable vintage decks of playing cards that we hand-draw and create for them right here from our small studio in Manchester, England. 

As I type (June 2nd 2026) membership has just re-opened, having been closed for six months, as we are at the very start of our third annual cycle, with each cycle running from June to the following May. Our small community of passionate premium and luxury playing card collectors from all over the world is welcoming new people with open arms, and if you think you or a loved one (Patreon memberships can be gifted) would fit right in, you are most welcome to take a look at our different membership options HERE.

Subscribing to a monthly or annual membership scheme can be daunting, especially if you have only just discovered our brand, but if the idea of a small British heritage brand - family-run - drawing everything by hand, and creating genuinely limited edition and collectable premium & luxury decks of playing cards speaks to you, we encourage you to find out more by taking a look around our website and our Patreon channel (many posts are free and open to all - it may just take a free sign-up to access on the Patreon website) or if you can, try to speak to some of our existing members and see what they have to say. We are also more than happy to answer any questions you may have as a prospective member, and you are welcome to email us (info@ahplayingcards.com) or fill out the contact form on our site to start a conversation with us. 

We sincerely hope to welcome you aboard soon, and look forward to sharing more of our work with members old and new.
