Metrodeck Playing Cards: Complete Deck

Unread post by Kleetz »

Found these on Uncrate.com and thought I'd share. I searched and didn't find a thread on these so if they've been posted, sorry!

I think the idea is pretty cool but not cool enough to be $550 a deck (at least for me). They are printed on (used?) subway tickets.

Agreed, it's definitely a novelty. Probably not something I'd ever play with if I owned a deck.

Holy expensive Deck! ...but then these appear to be a true labor of love for the artiist.

I'd love to see this artwork printed on a normal card stock and sold at a reasonable price, though...
Keep it Sizzlin'!

Love this concept. But the price is just stupid.
54 "found" tickets with screen printing on each... They should be $150 - $200, tops.
No matter where you go... there you are :|

I agree Mo, this is a very clever idea that came out well. I know it is his "niche" using the tickets but if he could translate this deck into a normal deck I think it would go over well.
