Title: Gaff cards
Post by: pengiun on July 18, 2013, 04:19:13 PM
So quick question for everyone, what is everyone's favorite gaff card included with a deck of cards. Be it a double backer or a blank face, whatever is your preference.

I like double backers that have two deck backs on them, one being something standard like a Bicycle Rider Back, and I also like having a duplicate of one of the other cards in the deck (like the NOCs - v.1 had a bonus Queen of Hearts, while v.2 has a bonus Two of Hearts).  Reveal jokers can be fun, but I like them to be subtle.

Agreed, if you're just asking "favorite gaff included with a deck" then a DB is the way to go. The next best thing - would be an extra card. But I have yet to see a card company give you an extra in the same box. Don't give me a fuzzy queen or a reversed image card, or a twisted ace - just give me an extra card.

A duplicate can be the best gaff of any deck

Then you haven't purchased any NOCs, like I mentioned below?  And the Altruism decks have a spare Queen of Hearts, but that's due to a misprint and they supply the missing Queen of Diamonds in a separate envelope...

Nope, wish I had a NOC deck, but no. And yes I have the Altrusim deck

My favorite gaff card is a double backer of two different colors.

Oh, the minds I have blown with it.

I'm a big fan of those myself!
