Not a fan of the font (e.g. JOKER or the K on the king of clubs). Feels quite out of place to be honest, and not customized at all; looks like he just downloaded a free designer font and used it.

I'm passing on these. The guy on the tuck box looks like James Franco.

Not a huge fan not gonna back this one.  The pictures posted below have a white border which looks really awkward on such a dark design.  It looks like it was changed because on the KS the photos show it black.  Even with the black borders something still looks awkward.  I think because the design is so full on the face of the card I think they should ditch the solid border and blend to the edge of the card and make it look a bit more fluid.  Just looks very cut and paste to me.

Collectable Playing Cards, if i'm not mistaken produces his decks for his store front, not so much for funding. I think KS is more for exposure than anything else. You can back with confidence if your interested.

I don't know whether to like these or to dislike them...

I love the joker that's just the skull & the other joker is alright.
I guess the pips are OK, although I would never use these for a game of cards or a performance.
I don't like the royas or the box design at all. WAYYY too cheesy for me.
...but that's just my opinion.

They are apparently changing this deck's borders from white to black.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
The deck's got a strong novelty factor - but for collectors, or at least for this collectors, I don't think that's going to help this deck.  It could be popular for other reasons, but not for being a useful AND cool-looking deck.
