The high cost of this deck is attributed to the first-of-its-kind printing process involving the holographic foil + MetalLuxe material used on the backs of the cards that goes all the way to the edges. There are identical jokers and a custom Ace of Spades, but other than that we do not see much of the normal 1ST flair in this luxury deck like custom court coloring, or even a card reveal on the King of Hearts.

The 1ST Playing Cards come in Mnemonica stack order, but with standard faces. The tuck case is made of smooth paper with a silver holographic-foil ring rapping around, and 1ST embossed on the front. They're printed on Crushed stock with an Air Cushioned finish with beautiful MetalLuxe foiling on the backs and the Ace of Spades and Jokers. These playing cards are made with the highest quality stock by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC). Unlike the predecessors, this deck's name shifted from 'v5' to 'Holo' to help break the trend of keeping each as a 'version' of the previous. The 1ST Playing Cards Holo Edition are the fifth iteration of the elegant and luxurious playing cards by Chris Ramsay / 1ST.
