ABOUT CREATE
PLAYING CARDS
"Create Playing
Cards" is part of Newt's Playing Cards, a Division of the E-Quiver, Inc. family
of companies and is located in Canal Winchester, Oh which is a suburb of
Columbus, Oh.
Bringing gift ideas, accessories, playing cards, card games,
decks of cards and more to
the Card Collector, Card Player and Card Enthusiast, the Playing Card Superstore
is unlike any other store on the web. With an average of over 1,000
different decks of playing cards, gifts and accessories in stock so far, our
selection continues to grow as we offer unique items that are
difficult to find. Please check back often as we add items to our website
on a continual basis!
Newt's started out as
www.newtonsnovelties.com
back in
the spring of 2000. We started out as a game site with over 400 online
games for folks to play. We had a lot of traffic but didn't make any money
to pay the bills. We then started selling sports collectables.
From NASCAR to NFL we sold anything from leather jackets to novelty sports fun.
It was during this time in fall of 2001 that we introduced playing cards in our
store. As a collector, Jim knew that he liked playing cards and card
games, but he didn't realize how many other folks loved cards. From card
players to card collectors. In spring 2002 we decided to streamline into
just games which included a selection of playing cards and monopoly games.
After an extremely successful holiday season we decided to convert to the
Playing Card Superstore and sell nothing but items of interest to card players
and collectors. Now playing cards have become our business as we sell
hundreds of different card games and decks of cards from around the world.
It
was at this time we rolled out our
retail site called
Newt's Playing Cards.
In the spring of 2002 we rolled out our first ever
deck of cards called WILD! With some awesome
artwork from playing card artist Peter Wood, this deck has become the definition
of Newt's. With "Transforming the Playing Card Industry" becoming our tag
line, we now look to not only make normal decks of cards, but decks featuring
art from days gone by. My personal favorite is what is called
"semi-transformational" art (we like to call it seek-n-find). Basically it
is where you take the pips (hearts, diamonds, clubs & spades) and hide them in
the artwork of the defined card. Other seek-n-find decks in the making are
Busy Bears and Newtropolis.
In
the fall of 2005 history changed in
a BIG way for Newt's Playing Cards.
We published a deck of historical
playing cards for our local town.
From that we started having multiple
museums and historical societies ask
us to help them. Now we help
hundreds of organizations raise
funds for their organization through
our unique fund raising program.
Once
the museum craze started we also
began publishing decks of cards for
other organizations. From
"safety" decks to Native Indian
decks.
In
2006 we launched
Create Playing Cards to help
folks all over the US with there
custom playing card needs.
Some
have asked what makes Newt's
different as a publisher.
Since we have been in the business
we have found a few things we do not
like.
1)
All of the fees that card
publishers/manufacturers hit you
with are annoying.
- The way we took care of this is we
give you one price for the deck.
No setup fees, no additional
shipping cost. No "per color"
fee. We keep it simple.
2)
Publishers/manufacturers who just
push a project through without
advising.
- When we printed our first deck of
cards there was NO ONE there to
advise or council us. The
manufacturer just printed the cards
and there was a HUGE error. We
decided we would do everything we
could to help folks have an awesome
deck of cards. We would advise
and make suggestions, but ultimately
it would be the customers choice.
If
you are looking for a publisher who
not only knows about playing cards,
but has a HUGE passion for playing
cards we can help.
Please contact us if you want more
information.
