IMPORTED PLAYING CARDS: BLUE EDITION
HISTORY
A revisit of our first deck of playing cards, but far from just a re-colour. The idea for Imported Blue Edition was born out of a desire to take everything we had learned about creating playing cards, and our new more sophisticated approach to illustrating, and rework our first deck into a superior version of itself. All new artwork was drawn and featured in the Ace of Spades, Jokers, tuckbox, pips and indices and the authentic style tax band that wrapped around the case - while retaining the spirit that made the original so appealing, all from our small studio in Manchester, England.
STORY
Production for this project was self-funded and the deck was added to our store in early 2025. One year on and we had sold out and had to tap into our private reserve to continue selling to enthusiasts and afficianados keen to add this deck to their collection. From an initial print run of 800, split evenly between us and Legends PCC, the deck is already becoming scarce, highlighting its popularity among playing card lovers. We plan on turning Imported Playing Cards into our brand's evergreen offering - like Bicycle is to the USPCC, and at the time of writing, illustration is already underway for a revised red edition in 2026.

The authenticity was ramped up for Imported Playing Cards: Blue Edition. The artwork - refined, the execution - just so. For a true student of playing card lore, the deck will present a treasure trove of features. For the casual games player or collector, the tight styling and beautiful colours will equally please. Viper Finish also makes this deck perfect for performing magicians, lending itself to slick shuffles, cuts and spreads.

Let customers speak for us
These cards came carefully packed in multiple layers of bubble wrap. Once opened it was clear that there was just as much, if not more love and care that went into the creation of these cards. They feel just like actual paper, but holds their shape extremely well even after countless shuffles. The designs of every court cards are beautiful and unique, not to mention the smooth vibrant colors on both the face and back of the cards. I’m very pleased with these cards!
Superb!!!...Love the design ....esp the Jokers...
genuinely the best poker cards. i am a poker dealer and everything is perfect. of the material is perfect but the font is premium.
Superb quality, keep their shape on the shuffle and look smart
I recently ordered some cards that did not arrive in the post as expected. I was able to fully explain the situation in which I felt listened to and provided with assurances that the issue would be looked into.
Alex maintained excellent communication throughout and the issue was resolved. Turns out the discrepancy was with Royal Mail and I now have my cards, which are in perfect condition.
I will definitely buy from Haines cards again :)
Very high quality. Such a unique and fun design on the cards.Highly recommend.
Very very nice coin! And made of real heavy steel! Not something made of a lightweight alloy.
These are really great cards! I initially bought three setups because the overall design was so nice. But impressed by the high quality of the cards, I ordered more. The plastic is very high quality, and the textured surface is quite thick, giving them a really nice feel when handling them.
Great quality cards -- beautiful and very easy to shuffle.
A very nice deck: classy design, cool retro-styled courts and handles very well
Beautifully designed and spookily illustrated cards - arrived just in time for Hallowe'en. These aren't a run of the mill deck by any means - these are works of art! Well done to the design team who have captured the feel and charm of vintage illustrations.
Love the cards! The index is in that Goldilocks zone and the red ink is bright and vibrant. Cards are very flexible and they shuffle like butter. Don't sleep on these!
Absolutely brilliant poker setup. Thin stock easy to shuffle, unique court design, lack of strong plastic smell present in other brands of plastic cards (if you ever handled Copags you’ll know) and simple elegant box with gilded crown. What more you could possibly want.
It’s amazing
Thank you for excellent customer service
