NEW! VHS Playing Cards from Collectable Playing Cards and Classics Playing Cards! They look and feel like a VHS Tape. They also slide out of the side like a VHS Tape

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

I like the overall concept.  But I have a few questions.

What's up with the rainbow stripes?  I've never owned a VHS tape with those stripes!  On the box, sure.

Just make the card back the tape cassette itself - with the "opening flap" on BOTH sides, because while it's not technically accurate, it does make the back design two-way.

Why do the cards have a "chalk on a chalkboard" look to them?  It has nothing to do with VHS tapes!  You could alternately have made them look more like the sticker label on a VHS tape, with the pips and indices drawn in by hand in pen or marker - like what most people did with their VHS tapes back in the day.
