That's actually something for a separate post 😃 Black Roses 2014 and Polyantha 2015 only have “www.blackrosesplayingcards.com” printed on the box - same as the Black Roses 2014 Replica Deck from 2024, since it’s an exact replica. But the replica also has a golden tear band, which the original decks don’t have. On my very first USPCC deck, it says “Distributed by www.blackrosesplayingcards.com”. The 2022 USPCC reprint already has “2022” printed on the tuck. I realized too late that printing the year on the tuck is the easiest way to tell them all apart 😃 Hanson Chien and Cartamundi are also printed on the bottom of the tucks. The only decks where it’s a bit more difficult are the two Immergrün Editions. If you look at the Black Roses logo on the bottom, you’ll notice that in the reprint, the second leaf of the first rose is slightly bigger - second leaf, second edition. And the 2 Innocence also look almost identical in the cellophane, but the 2nd edition has a matte tuck box. As you can see, each deck can be distinguished from one another, as I would never print the same deck again in exactly the same way.

I.e....polyantha 2015 and 2018...or black roses 2014 and 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2024 lol

I thought about this but I also don't want to destroy the look of the page with too much text. But I'll come up with something.

Idea 💡...since alot of the decks look similar...can you add how to tell the difference between them by the tuck boxes

Awesome great idea...helpful for a collector like myself

To be honest I don't really know it anymore :D Maybe I thought 2 extra decks for myself 😃 That's very likely.

I’ve accepted it’s unlikely I’ll find one. Was more curious as to why 102 were printed - it struck me as a random number! Agree with a previous comment that a Stockholm 17-esque anthology book would be a beautiful thing!

It's nearly impossible to get these decks. You need to know someone who backed the campaign back then and then this person still needs to have this deck. I don't even have any of the first 2 decks anymore.
