Legends’ card stock was born out of a frustration with the subpar quality of ‘premium’ playing card brands, which are often flimsy and poorly cut. Lawrence Sullivan, an American with a lifetime of experience handling playing cards, took it upon himself to raise the bar on playing card standards. Lawrence's extensive travel and language skills, coupled with a firm grasp of product sourcing, coalesced into a defining moment in playing card history: the creation of Legends #852.

The world knows beauty when it sees it. For our signature line, we teamed up with Mark Stutzman, referred to us by David Blaine. Now we work with a handful of illustrators to create original artwork.

Sullivan’s concept behind Mark Stutzman’s artwork for Legends #852 was to create something bold, yet filled with detail. A unique blend of Asian and Western mythology, Sullivan and Stutzman eschewed the minimalism or trendy pop art that typically adorns custom decks, integrating a classically ornate look with modern elegance.
