1. The Type Deck These are the most beautiful playing cards I've ever seen! Now that I've learned how to play poker—have I shared about that yet, Internet?—I've been on a playing card spree. Mostly just collecting them as souvenirs during our trip. Anyway, these gorgeous cards have already been fully funded on Kickstarter but you can still get in with a pack for putting up $15 toward the start of the project. Found via Mr. Cup. 2.
