Exquisite Bold Playing Cards V1 – World’s First Foil-Backed Deck by EPCC
Exquisite Bold Playing Cards are a landmark release in the history of custom playing cards. Produced by Expert Playing Card Company (EPCC), this groundbreaking deck became the first commercially released playing card deck to feature hot-stamped foil directly on the backs of the cards, redefining what was thought possible in premium playing card manufacturing.
While the shimmering foil instantly captures attention, Exquisite Bold is far more than a showcase of innovative printing. Every aspect of the deck has been designed to deliver exceptional handling, making it equally appealing to magicians, cardists, poker players, and collectors. Printed using EPCC’s renowned Master Finish, the cards offer a firm yet smooth feel inspired by the legendary Jerry’s Nugget playing cards, providing excellent control, durability, and consistency.
The elegant back design draws inspiration from decorative playing cards of the mid-1800s and has been meticulously recreated with modern precision. Complementing the deck is EPCC’s signature sideways-opening tuck box, itself inspired by historical playing card packaging from the late nineteenth century. Together, the luxurious presentation and revolutionary foil printing make Exquisite Bold one of the most significant collector’s decks ever produced.
With fewer than 1,500 decks printed, Exquisite Bold has become highly sought after by collectors around the world and remains an important milestone in the evolution of premium playing cards. Browse our full Luxury Playing Cards collection or explore our Limited Edition Playing Cards.

About Expert Playing Card Company
Expert Playing Card Company (EPCC) has earned a reputation for producing some of the world’s finest custom playing cards. Known for innovative manufacturing techniques, premium stocks, and exceptional finishes, EPCC has consistently pushed the boundaries of modern playing card production. The company introduced several industry-first innovations, including foil applied directly to playing cards and later pioneering advanced cold-foil technology, making many of its releases highly prized by collectors.
What Makes Exquisite Bold Special?
Exquisite Bold changed the playing card industry forever. Before its release, foil decoration was largely confined to tuck boxes. EPCC became the first manufacturer to successfully apply hot-stamped metallic foil directly onto the backs of playing cards while preserving professional handling qualities. This breakthrough proved that luxurious finishes and performance could coexist in a working deck.
The result is a deck that feels every bit as good as it looks — combining dazzling metallic effects with the smooth handling expected from a professional-grade playing card.
About the Design
The elegant back design pays tribute to decorative patterns found on playing cards from the mid-1800s. Rather than recreating a vintage deck exactly, EPCC reinterpreted these classic elements with modern precision, resulting in a timeless design that perfectly complements the metallic foil finish.
