 The limited tuck will have the vintage long tongue tuck box and it will have the printing on the interior of the tongue, like the tucks of that era had. 

Each of the number cards has a unique drawing with funny sayings abut how the Murphy Varnish is the best. Here are some examples of the number cards.

 

Also there are a lot of interesting decks out there, here is one that I think is cool, check it out at the link below.

Hello all,

I have a very limited number of the Green Weathered decks available as an add on. There were only 83 printed. I have 12 left as an add on. Each of the Weathered Restorations comes sealed with a numbered stamp seal and a hologram numbered seal. Each deck also comes with a display deck so you can open and enjoy this very limited deck. Pictures of the deck are below. If you would like to add a Weathered deck they are a $60 add on. Please contact me via personal kickstarter message before you add one so that I can assure there will be one available for you. 

 

 

 

Transformation cards

 In a transformation deck each card has a unique picture on it. The Murphy Varnish deck is an advertising deck so the sayings are there to help people understand the many uses for the Murphy Varnish. Here are some examples of the heart cards.
