Not showing any pictures of the cards usually means that there is nothing to show.

Until I am proven otherwise, I am passing these so wide that I end up on Vladivostok.

For some reason this deck (or what little is shown of it) tickles me the right way. Especially if that's foil on the borders of the backs there.

EDIT: On the website it says "Gold stamp signature jokers" so I don't know if the back is foil or not. Also it says "only 1,000 made" but "air-cushion finish" so I don't know who the hell printed these? If it wasn't USPCC then is he allowed to say "air-cushion"? And the courts may still be custom but the pips (red at least) have a marbling to them.

My understanding is that they were EPCC printed.

I'm not making any more blind purchases. Everything looks nice from what I see but show me the courts!

I love this fine print:

"In order to achieve the gold trim on the card backs, some decks may feature a slight imprint on the card face."
Move on, nothing to see here.

The good and bad thing about this deck is that you can make it in different colors. I hope I didn't give him any ideas.
