Hey guys, I stumbled across these while looking at interesting playing cars, these look extremely awesome, especially for anyone that enjoys the unusual :)

Its like high quality individually silk-screened cards, hand made in NY on old metro cards (hence the name). What do you guys think?

Someone watches Vsauce  :)

I love them, and I love the fact that they are each different. I don't however like the price:

For $550 for a full pack, I'll really pass, quickly.

But to be fair, there's a lot of work that goes into making them.  The thing is, you can't really look at these as a deck of playing cards so much as they are more of a handmade work of art.  Looked at that way, they're awesome, but still out of my price range for the indefinite future.
