For the last couple of days, I have been practicing with the fatboy deck alone.

While the deck is not any thicker than a standard USPCC deck, for some reasons they are a lot more stiff.
Unlike Legends, fatboy doesn't have a glossy finish on the surface of cards, so there seems to be more friction.
Cards become a bit more softer after break in, so...for me it's getting better...

Just now I switch back to a custom deck by USPCC and then it feels totally different from the way that I used to feel about it...

I don't know how to describe such feeling, but I believe fatboy may well become many people's favorite practice deck.

I pcked up four. Idk if they r gone yet, but if they run out before you. Have a chance to get one I'd be more than happy to trade one to you. And don't worry, I'd ask for something easy.
have you heard the word???

That's very nice of you, bro.  I'll consider your offer.  I have come to realize, though, that unless this custom deck market suddenly shrinks dramatically, there's no way I can own every deck that comes out, or even every deck that catches my eye, especially ones that are this rare.

Drop me a PM when you get yours.

Great.  The deck is on the site.  It doesn't put enough cash in my bank account to buy it, though.  My vacation savings have been shot to hell because of car repairs.

Fatboys arrived today as I was leaving for work.  I was expecting the tuck to mirror the card backs.  Quite the opposite.  Absolutely subdued and quiet.  I'll try to post a pic when I get home tonight unless someone beats me to it.

Here's the pics of the FBEAD deck for anyone that's interested.  Pretty sexy case IMHO.

That is kinda sweet.  Yes, I wish I bought one.  Yes, I can live without one, however, when there are other expenses in life to consider.  (Drat.  I'm just too practical.)  :))

  • Ugh, I wish I had money for THAT deck!
Can anyone that has received the deck briefly describe the courts? I'm sure they'll be standard seeing as this deck is more to advertise and promote the brand but curious anyway. :))

Reminds me a really bad joke that I said to my ex's mom. Once I did a few card tricks for her and she asked me whether I was using "trick decks", I said I am in a relationship now so my financial status couldn't afford me to buy those really expensive trick decks...

hmmm....

yup, indeed very standard looking courts...and no gaffs, 54 cards only

Though, if fatboys were to release new decks, I am pretty sure they will make much more alternations and make it more appealing to collectors.


The fact is the deck is still available on Coterie site!

yup...still have 35 of them in stock?

Got the deck the other day and had some time to play with it; it's amazing. Stiff but not as thin as the legends. No real plastic coated feel. Cards stick when you want them to, but slide with ease. Elegant and minimal design is very eye catching. Weaves will take some breaking in of the deck to become fluid. Overall, it's a great find!

Thanks for the reply and info as always! :)) I don't know why I love the backs (simplicity? color? slick geometric design?) but this amount of customization is good enough for me!

the cards are great after some breaking in, unfortunately the tuck box is cheap and boring.

I am much preferring these and the legends to anything I own from the uspcc lately. I would love more custom decks from this playing card manufacturer 

This are a tad softer than the legends out of the box but feel thicker ( that could just be in my head). The deck clings together very well but stil fans well enough, but not as smoothly as the legends.
have you heard the word???

I gotta say though, the thin boarders are incredibly consistent and near flawless.  Not sure how they were able to achieve it, but would love to know.

Because when the printer actually cares about the product it puts out, and not about money like USPC a few years ago and im some examples today, you actually get a really amazing product that is centered and handles really well, like Legends.
