Same roots. Bigger desert.

When I first started Cactus Playing Cards, the goal was simple: make playing cards that felt special. Limited runs. Thoughtful design. Something you’d actually want to keep, not just shuffle once and forget.

Over time, something interesting happened.

The cards became more than just cards.

They became collectibles.

People weren’t just opening decks — they were displaying them, saving them, trading them, talking about the stories behind them. And as the brand grew, so did the ideas. Not just new decks, but new ways to collect, curate, and preserve moments that felt meaningful.

That’s where this change comes in.

Introducing: Cactus Cards & Collectibles

Going forward, the parent brand will be Cactus Cards & Collectibles.

This isn’t a departure — it’s an expansion. Think same roots, bigger desert!

Cactus Cards & Collectibles exists to give the brand room to grow beyond a single product category. It’s a place for future ideas, curated releases, and limited collectibles that don’t always fit neatly under “playing cards,” but still belong in the same world.

And to be very clear:

Cactus Playing Cards is NOT going anywhere.

It will continue to be the main offering on the site, the heart of what I do, and the foundation this brand was built on. The decks, the craftsmanship, the limited runs — all of that stays exactly where it belongs.

Think of it this way:

• Cactus Cards & Collectibles is the umbrella

• Cactus Playing Cards is a core pillar beneath it

Nothing is being replaced. Nothing is being taken away.

Why make the change at all?

This shift is about clarity and intention.

Rather than forcing every future idea to squeeze into a single label, this gives the brand space to evolve naturally — without confusing what made it special in the first place. It lets me curate thoughtfully, release selectively, and build toward something long-term without rushing or over-explaining every step.

Some things will stay familiar. Some things will slowly unfold. And some things will simply show up one day when they’re ready.
