JAQK has magic finish too ?
I couldn't tell you about the originals, but the T11 reprints probably do. Unless they really handle poorly and clump a lot, in which case, no, no magic finish. They have metallic ink, right?
yes they have metalic ink, and handle great.
There you have it, Hawjinjian. Perhaps next time you'd consider posting your question on the topic about JAQK cards. This one's about the black/silver Erdnase decks from CARC. Someone else over there may be curious to know the answer, or have the precise answer rather than my assumption. But they may never know, because you asked here instead.
I can't confirm with total certainty about the T11 JAQKs, but I'd assume they're magic finished if they're both metallic and smooth-handling. It's the reason CARC went with magic finish with these two decks - otherwise, they don't touch the stuff.
It's kind of interesting, though - now they're using metallic ink. Have they run out of all other possible color combinations with their countless previous releases of nearly identical decks of Erdnase Bees?
What's next: holographic cards? Force Field Finish?
They keep doing it because it's making them money, but it's really jumped the shark by now. They should look into other designs and ideas. The Pro Bikes were awesome, the Erdnaseum deck was a step in a different direction, but enough with the Smith backs and the Acorn backs and the whatever-else backs...
