Two decks. One tin to rule them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cryptids Collectors Tin Set is the definitive way to own the A. Haines Cryptids collection - both the Black Shuck and Mothman playing card decks, housed together in a custom collectable vintage tobacco tin with laser-cut foam inserts, made right here in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether walking alone at night through the deep rural wilderness of the Suffolk and Norfolk borderlands, or driving the winding country roads of West Virginia, it is best not to linger too long - lest you come face to face with the dreaded Black Shuck, or your headlights pick out the silhouette of the infamous winged creature known as Mothman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo mythical beasts. Two premium hand-drawn vintage playing card decks. One extraordinary collectors package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn true A. Haines style, the Cryptids tin is designed to look and feel like a genuine antique, a sturdy metal tin with removable lid, half-tone period-accurate printing and laser-cut foam inserts that hold both decks securely and perfectly. Manufactured in the UK, this is not a flimsy novelty tin - it is a serious collector's storage piece worthy of display alongside the finest items in any collection. The foam inserts are precision cut to house exactly two decks of playing cards - snug, protected and beautifully presented every time the lid comes off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Shuck - the spectral hound of the East Anglian borderlands. A premium hand-drawn vintage deck in bold black and red with woodblock print style artwork on soft matte card stock. Features a custom Ace of Spades depicting Shuck's infamous appearance at St. Mary's Church, Bungay, during the storm of 1577, and a Joker diptych revealing the beast himself in full woodblock glory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMothman - the winged terror of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. A premium hand-drawn vintage deck in deep red and black - inverted colours that perfectly complement the Shuck deck. Features a custom Ace of Spades with Mothman's unmistakable glowing red eyes, and a Joker diptych of the creature in full flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth decks share a cohesive visual identity - matching intricate hand-drawn back patterns in complementary colourways, identical unique court cards derived from ancient British one-way playing card faces redrawn into perfectly symmetrical two-way designs, chunky antique pips, refined indices and aged paper tones throughout. Hearts and diamonds feature a two-tone 50\/50 pip - a nod to famous decks of a bygone era. Each deck retains its own distinct mythology, Ace of Spades and Joker diptych while together forming a perfectly coherent matched set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything in both decks is drawn entirely by hand on a Wacom pen and tablet - as close as possible to traditional illustration while embracing modern print technology. No AI. No stock artwork. No shortcuts. Custom enough to be collectable, standard enough to be usable - in every hand, every fan, every shuffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt a glance:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Custom collectable vintage tobacco tin - manufactured in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser-cut foam inserts perfectly housing 2x decks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Black Shuck Playing Cards \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Mothman Playing Cards \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth decks: 56 poker size playing cards - 2x Jokers + 2x extra card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth decks: soft matte tuckbox printed inside and out - custom sticker seals\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-drawn artwork throughout - no AI, no stock\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on premium quality card stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for collecting, display, card magic and card games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreorder item - anticipated June 2026 fulfilment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"A Haines Playing Cards","offers":[{"title":"Standard Editions","offer_id":51954549850413,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gilded Editions","offer_id":51954549883181,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/3617\/3101\/files\/SHOPtin2_602ec303-b457-4d1b-a491-a28f0aecf6c5.jpg?v=1774974446","url":"https:\/\/www.ahplayingcards.com\/products\/cryptids-playing-cards-collectors-tobacco-tin-set","provider":"A Haines Playing Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
