Re: Shovel Knight Playing Cards by Laura Verdin
I don't usually like when decks are "re-pipped", but this one is pretty nicely done imo.
My view:
Cons: one-way back, price.
Pros: printer, all custom courts, great art.
If you liked the game, this is probably an easy decision.
Otherwise, you might still enjoy the art and think it's worth the cost.

Re: Shovel Knight Playing Cards by Laura Verdin
My view:
Cons: one-way back (but maybe, hopefully, that's just a gaff card?), name (shovel knights is so bad of a name I almost didn't click this thread... I mean really, knights don't shovel. Peons do, who are just about exact opposites of knights. Which makes this a very contradicting title to me.)
Pros: Beautiful art and use of color, PRINTER!
Unknown: spot cards, tuck... would be nice to see pics ASAP, and if price ($15) includes shipping (if not that's rather pricey)

This deck is based on a video game called "Shovel Knight", in which you play as a knight... with a shovel. Not much more to it .
The deck price of $15 does not include shipping unfortunately and which is why I think this is priced high ($4 more for shipping a single deck in the US).
The target audience is not collectors though, it's gamers who buy t-shirts and posters of their favorite games, so the price for that audience is actually somewhat appropriate.
I ordered a couple, so when I get them in June/July, I'll upload some pictures... of the tuck... (sorry, tuck collector here )

Re: Shovel Knight Playing Cards by Laura Verdin
Well that should show you how often I play video games! Hahaha but it might also explain the high price- I wonder if the game charged royalty fees? Either way, $19 for this deck is a hard no for me.

Shovel Knight is an indy side scroller in the 8-Bit revival that got extremely popular, if you get a chance to check it out I would recommend itjerichoholic wrote:Never heard of Shovel Knight but $4 shipping is hard to pass up

Re: Shovel Knight Playing Cards by Laura Verdin
I have a friend that goes back to America every Christmas. He often "mules" my card orders that accumulate at his parent's house and puts them in his suitcase. He doesn't care for cards much, but he's a big gamer.
Last week we emailed me and asked me if I was getting these. He was all over this one and super excited about it. Me: meh. Different strokes...
