  • 52 Shades of Greed
    Occupy Wallstreet Playing Card Set
  • 52 Shades of Greed is not your average deck of cards. It’s way hotter than that.

    Brought to you by a team of professional illustrators and the Alt
    Banking group at Occupy Wall Street, 52 Shades of Greed is a deck of
    playing cards bearing illustrations of the people and financial
    institutions whose lust for money took the rest of us for a steamy car
    ride toward economic collapse. Ever seen Dick Fuld or the infamous
    Kathryn Wylde at work? These cards hold nothing back, depicting even
    those awkward financial instruments you can’t believe anyone invented.
    Ever heard of a Collateralized Debt Obligation? Well...if you've never
    ended up on the side of town where these are bought and sold, this
    deck will provide a picture. An actual picture, drawn by a pro.

    Everyone will be talking about the 52 Shades of Greed because we all
    wanna know who screwed us and how they did it. And we want pictures.
    The cards will direct the curious to a website to get the dirty
    details on each Shade of Greed.

    We believe that educating people is the first step towards turning
    that steamy car ride around. We need to know what's going on before we
    can stop it.

    The money we raise will pay for the production of the cards, including
    a stipend for each artist. Our plan is to print 1000 decks and
    distribute them at S17, the anniversary of the September 17th Day of
    Action. Everyone fueling the project with at least a $25 contribution
    will get a deck. We would like to raise enough to enable us to stage
    events related to art and financial education.
