Get apartment renter's insurance and itemize your entire collection. You'll be insured against damages and loss. Been thinking of doing that myself, actually. You might need a rider added to cover the collection, but you can insure it. (As well as all the other bits and bobs, like laptops, big-screen TVs, iPads, etc.)
Actually the Domebacks are magic finish.
This is from pokerstud52's listing on ebay, "The cards have Bicycle's Air Cushion Finish"
And this is from pokerstud52 on UC
The 1880 Aladdins were printed on USPC's mid-range 325 stock, which is used for many custom decks these days. The "magic finish" also was used, although I'd be hard pressed to explain the difference between magic finish and Air Cushion or Cambric.
I believe MagicAddictz is right.
As far as the difference between Magic Finish and ordinary Air Cushion Finish, you can really feel the difference in a deck that's been Magic Finished. The cards really glide over each other very well and handle very smoothly, not just out of the box but also for some time thereafter. You'll notice more of a difference over time.
In addition, any deck with metallic inks tends to perform like crap unless Magic Finish is used; Air Cushion isn't enough to compensate for the metallic ink's effect on handling. It's why you see it used so much these days - a lot of custom decks use some amount of metallic inks, be it a little (Artifice) or a lot (Titaniums).
Out of the box, with a non-metallic deck, perhaps he didn't notice a difference - but he will if he compares his deck over time to an Air Cushion deck of the same vintage and use.
