Greetings Playing Card friends,

I'm in search of a designer to work with me on a new project.  The project is to celebrate a company's 25th anniversary.  At the very least I'm looking for a back design, custom jokers, a custom Ace of Spades, and insert cards.  It might include custom court cards.  Right now I'm not thinking it will include custom pips, but maybe?  Preference given if you have done at least a few design jobs before.  Considering a few different printers but currently leaning towards Shuffled Ink.  You will be working as part of a team what will help with the creative.  If you have any questions, please reach out to me directly.

Thanks. 

I'm interested to learn if there is any crossover between artists/designers etc. that are in the "Comic Con world" that also "dabble" in playing card design.  I'm new/back into card collecting and I feel the surge of new/current fantasy themes etc. along with the popularity of Kickstarter decks might mean that there are artists that do crossover. 

Personally, I've never been to a "Comic Con" style event/weekend but I've seen where it appears that lots of artists are there.  What I would be interested in is going - if I knew there would be at least a few that have designed decks.  I'm sure there are others on here with more "insider knowledge" of this area. 

Thanks.

Question regarding the Bicycle Cyclist Neon Misprint...

Is there a way to tell if the deck contains the misprint without opening the deck?

Found one deck at a Walmart and haven't opened it yet.  Found another Walmart that has 6+ decks still hanging in the aisle.  I bought 2 of them.  Thinking of opening one of them to see if it contains the misprint.  Do you think that would be an indication that the others still at the store might contain the misprint?  Does it even matter?  Is there a market/desire out there for these decks?  Did they run a reprint/fix?

Also...
I did hear from "BicycleTeam" directly that..."there is no way to know if it is one of the decks you are referring to with out opening it."

Thanks.  New/getting back into playing cards.  Trying to learn as I go.

HI,

I'm brand-new to this forum and wanted to say HI.  I have cards in my hands and been trying to do card tricks since my age was in the single "pips."  I've always been a fan of the good ol' "Bicycle Reds."  I have a small collecting of "older" (40s/50s) decks that I got from a magic dealer years ago.  Other than that, I'm entering the hobby and trying to find my way.  I'm open to learning and growing in my understanding of the hobby and playing cards in general.    Excited to get involved.

TY.
