r/playingcards

I got these the other day, and finally got around to shooting them. Absolutely amazing cards FULL of detail, interconnecting designs, beautiful art - and doubly so considering half of the details are really only visible under UV light/in the dark. (Also pictured: bonus metal bookmark.)

Looking forward to more of their work!

I'm So Glad I was able to get these as an add-on to the Cerberus kickstarter - so worth it.

Post got removed for some reason? Not sure why... Trying a repost, sorry for the spam.

Cards are in perfect condition other than slight fad from age. Found in a bin with several other sealed decks from the 70s-90s

One of the jokers is missing but the normal 52 cards are all there. 56 cards in total. I bought them because I love purple.

Hey! I'm desperately searching for the deck that has the same card quality as this one. It's very velvety, bends easily but retains shape and doesn't slip, so it's very convenient for cardistry.

I got this deck like wayyy back from my father, around a decade ago and couldn't let go of it since; so maybe it's so nice to touch bc it's been played with for a long time, but still. It's wearing itself out, but no other deck is like this one for me, even other casino/poker decks.

I don't know much abt manufacturers, and as far as my search showed, this one is from Turkey?.. But their website is weird and it doesn't seem like you really can buy anything off of it, if it's even active. I have zero idea where my dad got it.

So, maybe some of you may know cards of similar quality, or some info about manufacturer? What should I look for? Maybe this exact deck is still sold somewhere? Please help and thank you in advance 🙏🙏

I'd been searching for these for a while, and everywhere seemed to be out of stock... Did you know you can just buy them directly from Midnight Cards???? https://midnight-cards.myshopify.com/products/divination-blue-deck

The faces are the same between the two, except for the background design. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Started playing regicide and one hand solitaire a month ago with a bicycle standard deck, had to play with cooler looking cards but there’s so many cool looking cards I can’t stop now

I have these two decks of "Art Studies" playing cards from the 1950s. The one on the left was owned by my bachelor farmer great uncle, I bought the other one on eBay about 10 years ago. The one on the left is PG-13 & the right is full nudes.

Just thought this was super cool, literally one of the first decks I got.

I found these decks at my local antique store yesterday.

The Tropicana deck sadly did not come in a tuck case, but the deck is complete. The Pall Mall deck is still sealed, still in its original cardboard packaging. I do not know from which decade each of these decks came from.

I do like a thin crushed stock - I have a few of Penguin Magic’s Elite Edition rider back decks as well as others - and thought I’d try another thin crushed stock; I received a deck this week.

Both types of crushed decks sound as though half the cards are missing when the tuck case is shaken and I’m wondering if - given that the cards are so loosely packed inside the case - storing them upright has contributed to this new deck being so warped.

I have a card clip, so it’s not the end of the world - and breaking the deck in may make the problem go away - but in any case I reckon I’ll be storing them flat from now on…

Suddenly you have enough of something that you realise you started a collection without ever intending to. No point in stopping now.

My favourite deck to play with is the Bee's. Also very fond of the Provision's and the Sembras. The Bicycle Metalluxe all feel great in the hands too.

Any suggestions for what I should add next?

Anybody know how rare this bordered bee stinger casino special blue seal is with the Bee Logo? Also the magic con v1 by Dan and Dave? I honestly have no clue

I was on vacation from the SF Bay Area to LA and decided to hunt down a good playing card deck/ magic shop that was NOT magic the gathering. Landed here at this great gem. Stop by if you're in the Studio City area of LA.
