Please note (1):
This product is a collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Mattel Creations. Â While this highly anticipated release has Sold Out, I don't know if there are plans to release more to the public in the future.

Please note (2):
I've just ordered this product from Mattel, so it might be a few weeks before I have your product in-hand. Â Rest assured, I'll mail your purchase out to you (via USPS First Class) within 24 hours of receiving my order.
Please note (3):
I'm going to do a great job of packaging product, with the intention of getting it to you in the same condition I'd want to receive it. Â However, you're buying a consumer packaged product, just like you would off the shelves of your favorite retail store, so there may be some imperfections or general wear on the box that is beyond my control. Â You're buying a Shepard Fairey x UNO card game and not a signed & number art print. Â This being said, if you're someone who's going to be critical of a minor imperfection in the packaging, please purchase this product from a different eBay seller. Â Point being, you're going to receive this item in Brand New (excellent) condition, but it's not fine art.
Here’s some information about the project Mattel Creations shared on their website:
With contemporary graphics and intricate designs, Fairey’s art has reached everyone from skateboarders to presidents, inspiring fine art to activism. This special edition of the UNO®  game features his art on every card as well as four special, two-sided cards that when put together create two different art pieces. It’s a game time masterpiece! Just as important – this deck is fully recyclable, with everything made from paper.
He [Shepard Fairey] gave us HOPE. He gave us rebellion. And now he's bringing his street art-inspired energy to our beloved UNO. We're proud and excited to present the Shepard Fairey UNO artiste drop. Not only is every card a work of art, but this deck is 100% sustainable, meaning no plastic trays or cellophane around the cards.
Here are some comments about the project from Shepard Fairey:
I played UNO with my family as a kid, and so the game holds a nostalgic place for me, and I know that it is still played by young people and families globally. I am always looking for ways to connect my art with people in unexpected ways, and I loved the idea that my art could be a conversation starter in combination with people enjoying a game of UNO.
I'm always honored to collaborate with brands and iconography that have an iconic history and a loyal following. Because I've been working as an artist and designer for many years, I felt I could rise to the challenge of finding a balance between my voice and visual language combined with the recognizable visuals of UNO. I think the blend of my style with UNO is exciting to the UNO audience and my audience in a different way than either just by themselves. I love that collaborative x-factor.
