Michael Frömmer’s 1616 Silver Bicycle. The half million dollars deck

 

Alex Willis (Man Made Games), the creator of this deck, brings us a risky and original proposal. He has converted a classic Italian deck from the 17th Century into a Bicycle deck thought for collectors and players: the 1616 Silver Bicycle.

 

 

The history of the original deck is very interesting but one of the most shocking things of it is that the deck was sold in 2010 at Christie’s of New York for $554,500 (around 422,000 euros).

 

 

You can read the whole story of this deck (and of the original one) in the project website. You can also raise your pledge to see this deck made.

Good luck!
