This might be a stupid question, but what are the "indexed-style" reveals you speak of?
They look like a playing card's index, value above suit, and are printed in the "card" the queen is holding which in the standard deck has four hearts printed on it.
Also the gaffs seem to be great, its a shame we only get 37 cards and not the full 52 gaffs (i woulndt care if the 15 other cards were double backers and blank cards).
Maybe they are all different? when i get mine i will compare them to your list Don.
Also can you post a picture of the "smeared" ones??
Thanks.
I'm sure that David had these done in a short run as a special favor and that the remaining cards were gaffs that he decided to keep to himself. He probably had USPC print and package them without seals or cellophane, had his staff extract the extra ones he wanted to himself and gave the rest in this set.
BTW it's probably 19 extra cards - a USPC uncut sheet holds 56 cards, not 52. And while it's possible that the sets are different, it's unlikely - David has done similar gaff-card releases in the past and the gaffs were always the same throughout. Though I have to admit that I don't think he's ever done a gaff release as large as this before. Plus there's always the chance for human error, but since there's only twenty-two decks, the chances of human error changing the lineup are slim. I wouldn't be surprised if David himself did the sorting.
So the box contains 37 cards, right?
Then does the thickness of the gaff decks box thinner than standard box?
The box is standard size for a full 56-card deck - there's a big empty space in it when it's filled with cards.
