To anyone looking to buy these:

I actually have a deck of these, and whilst they claim to be "Guaranteed purity of 99.99% Fine Gold Plating" what you get is a plastic deck that has pretty much a gold sticker on it. When they say gold plated they mean a minuscule amount of gold dust has been mixed in with the fake stuff which they then painted on the front of the deck.

The deck smells like PVC glue, the wooden box is not lacquered but made from very cheap materials the kind you find in a $2 shop. I would not recommend buying this deck for $60
