Playing cards of 2021 to shop for both players and collectors
Playing cards have become both a hobby and collector’s item for me during quarantine as I spend more time off screens and at home.

Here are other playing card decks I’ve used or considered buying, from different price ranges and designs.
These playing cards contain American Gothic-themed drawings of the classic face suits. While I have the black set, these playing cards come in five different colors, which makes it easy to match the deck to your room’s decor. You can even buy multiple colors and mix and match.
I gave this set of cards to my architecture-loving friend, and I really enjoy the bright patterns on this deck. The design is inspired by the eponymous famous architect, sporting colorful geometric shapes and curves. These cards come in a pack of two decks within their own box for easy storage.
I’m a pretty avid TV watcher and enjoy playing games with this deck, which contains character artwork of popular TV shows, including “Breaking Bad”, “Mad Men”, “Fleabag” and “The Sopranos.” Cards suits are organized by show genre: Hearts are comedy, clubs are drama, spades are science fiction and diamonds are crime.
Playing cards are a great way to show off great artwork without hanging a painting on your wall, especially when they’re designed with Vincent Van Gogh’s work. These colorful cards each contain a print of one of Van Gogh’s paintings and are made from cardboard stock, making them thick and extremely durable.
