Title: Movies/Cartoon deck printed by USPC?
Post by: phantom1412 on June 23, 2012, 10:35:50 AM
I just got an idea about this from another thread.
So, I wanna know if USPC ever printed any movies or Cartoon, eg. Spiderman, LOTR, etc...

All I know is that they printed Harry Potter playing cards before.
I want to collect if they printed decks of my favorite movies or cartoons on good quality stock and finish.

So, if you know anything about these decks, please share.

Thanks in advance.

By the way, this is Harry Potter deck info. Credit to playing card wikidot.

USPCC has done some of the movie/cartoon releases, but Cartamundi's Texas presses does most of them in the USA (at lease 7 Harry Potter releases to date).  There are lots of James Bond, Spiderman, Batman ... decks out in the wild, they are not always easy to find in release.  Except for the Harry Potter, I only find them at garage sales and Estate sales.  Though, I don't look very hard for them  ::) .

USPC has also done some deals with Nickelodeon, a children-oriented cable network in the US.  Spongebob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer, and in the past I think they had Rugrats as well.  They may all be expired licenses, though - at this time the USPC website doesn't list any of them.

Some of them were pretty offbeat.  There was one Spongebob deck that was printed in 3D and included two sets of red-cyan paper-mounted anaglyph filters - better known as "3D glasses".
