OK, I guess these aren't exactly new, and unless you are a graphic designer you probably wouldn't have run across these, but I saw them today and am going to try to get a deck. Not sure what stock or finish they use or where they were printed but they are definitely a lot more unique than most everything we see normally. Don't imagine they are USPCC quality but as a graphic designer I just can't pass them up.

Oh I ran across those a year ago or so. They looked interesting, but I never picked any up or anything. If you get some let us know how they are.

They remind me a LOT of the Bicycle "Lo-Vision" cards.

I might pick up a deck or 2 just to have them in the collection, once they are restocked...Fab.com is legit, I have done a lot of business with them. Let me know if anyone wants an invite?

Do they still have all of the t11 stuff on there, because I can't seem to find it anywhere.

They don't. That sell ended a long time ago. The way they work is, a company gives them product...they sell it dirt cheap for like 2 days. Then the sell is over. They have multiple sells running every day.

Fab.com is solid. Be prepared to wait for your order.I think the patience pays as they offer great deals. I would be interested in adding Helveticards to my collection. If I see any I will let you now.

No, it's not by USPCC. Also, am I the only one who doesn't like the look of this deck?

I honestly don't love the look *as playing cards* but appreciate them as a design exercise. Helvetica is a classic and beautiful font that I have used a lot over the years. I don't imagine these will handle very well for cardistry purposes but I'm ok with tossing the designer a few bucks for his effort, and it will certainly look different from any other deck I have. :)
