Pr1me Playing Cards from Italy

Have you guys seen those?

The court cards got the Word Pr1me written on them (look close at the design)
The Jokers are nicely done,i really like the Puppetstring Joker!
They are 7,50 €uro a deck...a bit pricey but i think i gonna order one of each color.

They look good, but I'm not having high hopes about quality.  From what I can tell, most of the "heavy lifting" used to make these cards is done in their facilities in China - probably just a subcontractor, at that.


For a brief time, USPC was making Aviators out of China through a subcontractor.  They dropped the manufacturer and went back to making their own because of quality issues.


When you get yours, let us know what they're like.

These looks pretty nice actually, design wise.


The backs are very cool. I'm glad it's not a one way back. The  pips on the aces look kind of like the pips on the aces of the Fulton's Clip Joint playing cards (which I just received in the post). The Pr1me on the court cards is a little strange but not totally a bad thing. I don't really have a strong opinion either way on that one.


I probably wont pick any of these up, but I would love to hear what you think about them Cosmic. Who knows, maybe I'll pick up a few sometime.

The backs look really nice, and the deck box design looks pretty cool too. I might consider getting a couple of these.

They looks good, but they don't have anything unique. So I gotta say bye to the decks too.

These don't look half bad, I like them, but just a little bit - I'm not used to the back design being horizontal rather than vertical, some people may like it, but I don't.

At first when I saw it on 52crates I was deeply attracted to the style of joker with the oldern 'gas mask' with the long nose (I dk what its called) but then again, not much known about these so i'll wait a couple..

someone who's handled the deck discusses its qualities.  Check it out.

I got these, they're pretty good albeit a bit thin for stock. My review was posted on 52cartes.

just got my brick of them i got 8 sealed decks and4 no good ones three of the no good ones was unsealed and the cards apeared perfect as far as i can tell just the box seemed more dirty and the 4th no good deck had the cards wraped in plastic in the deck and the card backs and box is off set to the right they handle so damn awesome i was really suprised great for cuts and flourishing the box is a real let down though its a bit tricky to get the flap in and out at times it feels smooth and waxy on the box also the cards themselves are beautifull

 i really cant tell whats wrong with the three no good decks its anoying me i cant telli post photos later with the no good on the left and the normal on the right see if anyone can spot the diffrence
