I got my (unsigned) Chinatown decks today.  I was surprised at a few things.


1) It's not red - it's orange.  I don't think it's a trick of the lighting.
2) The reds on the cards are also orange.
3) The face cards look nice, but pretty plain.
4) The gold on the cards is NON-metallic ink.


The back has an attractive, intricate design that suffers from the fact that the gold and the orange are so close in color temperature/shade, they're difficult to distinguish in anything less than strong light.  If the gold was an actual metallic ink, it would have made a world of difference.  As it is now, it's not as nice as the Fulton's Clip Joint decks.


Pretty box, though...


That's disappointing. I haven't purchased any yet. From the pictures I was expecting metallic gold ink and red. I guess that isn't so. I might not get this deck after all...

Wow that is very, very disappointing. The pictures posted by DnD made the deck look like it was metallic gold. I'm surprised how skimpy they are with the metallic ink when


they charged $8.88/deck.
