I feel like this deck would make for a lot of fun if you just took the cards out and used them as gaff cards.

I saw this one too and thought the exact same thing! The backs are awesome!
But don't worry, theres no way I will bid on them

The backs are great, but it's a one way back, it's subtle, but it's still noticeable.

The backs are nice! Not going to bid on this or anything, but it is one of the better looking U.S.A decks I've seen, thats for sure

Ha, no the vortex deck has a subtle one way back, this is a blatant one way back. :)

like the back but the front looks like a cheap deck from a Fred's or Dollar General!

KPop - subtle?  It's about as subtle as killing a mosquito with a sledgehammer!!  Even the colorblind would probably notice!

I don't really mind this one way back. it seems like a design that a one way back would really matter

Well, it's me it's either subtle or obvious, I can't find the right description to fit one in the middle. It's not that obvious, but it's noticeable.

i can't see the one way on the vortex!!! but i can on these

One-way - YES, IT'S VERY OBVIOUS.  Left side red, right side blue; vice versa when flipped.  Dead obvious.  Like having tea while sitting next to the 800-pound gorilla.  You can see him, you can SMELL him - you can't ignore him.

I look at this deck and this is what I see.
An Ace of Spades made of clip art.
Two jokers made of clip art.
A King with a clipped-in two-finger peace sign - about the most original idea.
A riot of red, white and blue colors everywhere.
The Bicentennial just called - they want their tacky style back...

What's not to love?
Practically EVERYTHING.
There's too many better decks out there - I pass in spades.

UGH! Why do people keep buying his stuff!!?!?!?

Honestly though, what are you do with them, you can get a lot more better stuff for $31, how about 4 Vortex decks?

I think he bought it from himself.  No sane person would pay $5 for that dreck, never mind more...

Haha, who would do that - if is he doing that (which I doubt), he's probably just doing it for the popularity/rep. even though it's a bad rep, any pubilicity is good publicity.
