I googled Eleventh Pier- got nothing but this image. Slide Box? Edge design of tuck looks a little like a match box. Interesting!

The tuck is really interesting.
This is definitely an "art" deck and while it is ok, i guess? I do like how the framed version looks especially how he "curves" the letterings. If only the number cards can integrate with the whole framed version a little more, then it would look much better.

Still 15pounds a deck is rather high for me personally. I did ask him on the pricing of the framed version. Will update when he replies.

That box is pretty sharp, I really like it. At the same time, yikes, that price is steep I really don't like that. Somewhere around $25 a deck without shipping is just past the end of my acceptable range at the moment. I do like the deck though, sans the Eleventh pier spelled out with the courts.

I usually say at a time like this wow, each card has been customized, but at $35.90 (with shipping) I may have to pass. The deck in the frame is really cool though. I wonder who/what/where is printing this?

I really like these. I
Had asked him their size, concerned that they were printed and cut to fit a standard match box but he said they are slightly larger than poker size at 6.8cm across. I think worth the money from an artists perspective.

I can't think of anything that's called the eleventh pier over here in the UK. Maybe something to do with London Bridge Pier?!

Anyway, I like these :) I like how he's used fishermans friend (or in this case fisherman's mate) as the 3 of hearts.
For those that don't know, fisherman's friend are lozenges and are very popular in the UK.

Given the first 2 points, I'm almost glad of the 3rd because I would have to struggle with myself to justify it otherwise or be angry that I can't get it.  It's cool, but given apparent quality and price, doubt I would even if I could.

They're sold here as well, though they're not as popular.  Ricola is probably a leading brand here because of all the distinctive TV advertising they've done.  I might have seen a TV ad for FF once or twice, but that's it.

Fishermans friends are the best lozenges I've ever had my hands on. I keep a stock of the things just in case they dry up and vanish here. I know one guy who uses them like a candy haha. A bit intense for me to do that, but at the slightest hint of an allergy induced cough, I pop in a Fishermans friend.

Oddly enough I've never seen an ad on the idiot box for Fishermans friend lozenges. Not a big fan of Ricola, they actually do remind me of vintage style candy and breathe perfume. Just not as good as say a Sen Sen for example. Mmmm Sen Sen. . .  :P My Sen Sen stock is incredibly low one and a half packets are all I have left. :(

There's a few candy stores online that specialize in vintage candies that are still in production, sometimes even finding manufacturers that are willing to reproduce the old candies.

I still occasionally find Choward's Violet gum and candies here in New York.  It really tastes like violets smell!

"Digitally printed on uncoated/unlaminated stock" kind of sounds like inkjet on cardstock paper to me. That would be a steep price point if that's what it is (And yes, I know that it's something more advanced than someone printing it on a home printer). The "matchbox" case idea is intriguing though.

Wow..! You guys are incredible!

The Eleventh Pier Playing Cards was created for a graphic design festival in London earlier this year. So yup, it is definitely an Art deck... it does feels like it is printed on a card stock paper and assembled by hand. I love the idea of this unique deck and bought it off Damon's website.

If you want it shipped overseas, you may have to use the 'contact us' form and let him know. :) Hope that helps.
