I still don't remember the name of the animated flick, not by bag. Decided I needed one for myself as well. The spades just make me smile all meowing opera. ;D

Post by: Will W. on August 20, 2014, 03:58:11 AM: Two problems with what I see here.
Firstly, correct me if im wrong but thats a tiger not a panther. The name implies panthers but im no zoologist and Panthera may well be a part of the scientific name of a tiger.

Second, the box seems kind of gawdy with the tiger fur on the sides. Brings to mind a cheap knock off tiger pelt or rug.

Not for me.

Of course they would pick a name that includes four different kinds of big cats, which would be perfect with four suits, and then they only use one of them.

That's a good idea Ben. Maybe someone should suggest that to the creator of this deck. That and a new tuck box that doesn't resemble a throw rug. ???

I'm trying to be a good moderator. That's all I'm saying about this deck. ::)
