Cardsmiths Series 4 – Allsopp’s Arctic Ale #67 – Emerald 87/99
This Cardsmiths Series 4 card features Allsopp’s Arctic Ale, one of history’s most fascinating brews. Numbered 87/99, this Emerald parallel celebrates the ale originally crafted in 1852 for Sir Edward Belcher’s Arctic expedition. Its unique low-freezing properties made it ideal for extreme voyages—and centuries later, surviving bottles became legendary collectibles, with one selling for over $500,000 on eBay in 2007.
Illustrated by Aaron Mentzer, this card captures the blend of endurance, history, and curiosity that defines the Cardsmiths “Currency Cred” lineup.
