Gold Hello Kitty Playing Cards

On September 27, Sanrio announced plans to begin selling solid gold Hello Kitty playing cards, which the company will make available through its online shop beginning October 3. Each of the 54 cards (2 jokers included) measures 58 x 89 mm and is made from 0.73 gram of 99.99% pure gold. Pressed to a thickness of 7 microns with precision rolling technology developed by the Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, the cards are sealed in a protective laminate printed with colorful designs that depict Hello Kitty in royal dress.

The reverse side of the cards show Hello Kitty against a background featuring the Union Jack and apples, a reference to the fact that Hello Kitty was born in London and is said to be 3 apples heavy and 5 apples tall.

The cards are priced at 567,000 yen ($4,900).

Gold Hello Kitty Business Card

To celebrate its 33rd birthday of Hello Kitty (which was created as Kitty White on 1 Nov. 1974), Saniro has launched memorial Hello Kitty name cards made of 99.99% pure gold. The card has some basic info about the cartoon character, e.g. zodiac sign (Scorpio) and blood type (A). The 8 cm (l) × 4.8 cm (h) sized card is sold at 10,500 yen with tax. (Random Citations)

To make matters worse, they have decided to release two different patterns of the card and then give fanatics the choice of English or Japanese lettering for their name making 4 different options for the Hello kitty fanatic to choose from. Since we have already established that Hello Kitty fanatics don’t make choices, but get one of everything, the result is over $400 for 4 gold business cards
