No date was given on when this will be released. These appear to be a darker blue than the original. Would you guys consider this a reprint?

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

It would depend on whether there were any kinds of differences from the original design.  The darker blue could be a trick of the lighting, so don't rely on that.  It might be a reprint, or it might be "version 2" of the blues, or it might be some new color or shade altogether.  No way to tell from that photo alone.

If the cards are true blue, then I consider it a new deck. Color change denotes new deck. If it's just tuck enhancement that doesn't touch the colors of the deck itself then I do not consider it a new deck, it's a reprint. It's all about the cards inside the tuck box.

The only way we'll know this stuff if when we see photos of the cards themselves or have them in our mitts shuffling away all happy. Either way, I'll be picking some up. I really enjoy the JAQKs and any opportunity to snag some on the retail cheap I pounce on. Just have to cross my fingers USPCC took their time and printed with the utmost care. It's always a worry for me lately.
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

It's kind of sad when the industry leader has let quality slip to the point that even the most loyal customers have to cross their fingers and hope a product of theirs was made correctly.  Not even made exceptionally - just plain correctly.

While I like the design and the color looks sharp, I don't buy decks that promote alcohol or tobacco and these were based on the design for the JAQK Wineries, as I'm sure most of you know.  I thought the design was eye-catching even before it was on sale at Theory11 - USPC used to have images of it (still might) on their web page promoting the Custom Department, and one of their Promotional Sample Deck cards is a look-alike of a JAQK card.

Unless there are changes to the deck (pips, courts, etc.) I'd consider this a reprint. New colors, not new ideas/design. I saw the T11 Instagram post and was hoping for a new version of the deck, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case. I'd love to see a reimagined version of this beauty.

What do you think?

True Blue card back is quite nice and I think I just picked some up a bit ago. ;)
