Passport Luxe (Gilded) Playing Cards and Puzzle by Sinecure

Description

Passport Luxe (Gilded) Playing Cards and Puzzle by Sinecure is the premium collector’s edition of the Passport Classic Edition, celebrating the glamour of international air travel during the jet set era of 1972. Inspired by vintage travel and luxury passports, the Luxe Edition deck builds on the Classic Edition with its hidden story based puzzle, Easter eggs, holographic security inspired elements, and luxury travel theme while adding exclusive collector finishes. Gold gilded edges, a gold foiled world map printed inside the tuck box, a side “X” die cut revealing the gilding, and individual numbering limited to 500 distinguish it as the premium standalone edition of the Passport Collection.
