The Origin was one of the most ambitious, gorgeous, and troubled playing card projects of all-time. It aimed to bring the beauty of Genesis to life through the breathtaking illustrations of Austin Ho, but the team behind the project ran into insurmountable difficulties, and much of the campaign was never fulfilled.
We were able to salvage a small number of sets from the collapse. This set includes all three primary, original editions from the campaign: the special, collector's, and deluxe editions. Also included is a notebook and a set of accessories (ring necklace, coin set, stickers, and pin).
The special edition was printed by USPCC (not gilded) and is housed in a book-style tuck box printed with UV technology on holographic paper; it is the most basic edition.
The collector's edition comes in a book-style tuck box with a striking 3D multi-layer cut frame inside that recreates the Garden of Eden. The cards are printed in moderated metallic inks to replicate oil ink painting and finished with rainbow silver gilding. Also included is a custom-engraved acrylic case.
The deluxe edition is the ultimate creation of The Origin. A premium black box houses a gorgeous certificate featuring a stunning piece of art, beneath which three exclusive decks with different colored gilding and 3D-cut frames form a triptych display. The frames depict The Snake (Satan), The Tree of Knowledge, and Adam & Eve, and are gilded in devil red, rainbow gold, and rose gold respectively.
Note that you may not receive the same numbered decks as shown.
