Bharata Playing Cards - Pictorial Review #2 - The Deck

Unread post by willroya »

This is a true collector's deck, the pictures don't really do justice to the artwork and overall beauty.

The foiling, embossing and color on the thick matte tuck case is very well done. The foiling is almost a rainbow type effect and the embossing is subtle and classy. Also the interior foiling came out really well and gives the deck that extra royal touch when opening it.

The tuck case is a bit thicker in over all width then a standard tuck case. And the only two things I would have liked to see is plastic wrap (like uspcc decks) covering the tuck rather then a shrink wrap. Also the glue that holds the tuck case together does not hold very well, but that is easily fixed. One upgrade that would have been nice is a custom numbered seal.

The rainbow gold gilding and the art of the cards is exceptional, from the back to all the courts cards, just very well done, high compliments to the artist. Although the cards are not meant for cardisty they have a very nice feel and a embossed finish. You get 2 jokers plus 2 bonus cards.

I highly recommend the deck from a collector's stand point and I know the quantities are very limited. I have an very good Indian friend who just had his first child and this is going to be an excellent gift to mark the occasion.

Thank you GPCC, Sunish and KS backers for this deck. I was one of the backers of this deck, and was not "gifted" these decks for this review.

FYI - I only have 2 of the decks available for sale on my site at a special price:
