The all-silver backs are breathtaking.  I would buy those by the gross. 


I suppose that means my wife really loves the current gold/silver.  Me, I find it a bit busy.  Red/gold and blue/silver? Now we're talking.

Could you share pics of the most recent, up to date, pics of the deck because you have been tweaking it... so I just want to see the current ones. Thanks

About the chips,
would it be a plastic casino chips, or something metal like coins?


(I would be very happy if I can see a beautiful metal coins in half dollar size.)

I'm pretty sure he said these were casino style clay chips earlier.

We went out of town for the weekend so I'll post the current look on Monday night.

The Poker Chips will be a high quality Ceramic Chip with a smooth finish, I'm looking at getting
them produced by Palm Imports:

I'd actually love to see metal poker chips, it would be very interesting for sure (albeit quite expensive to produce I would imagine).

Either way, depending on how the Ornate chips look, I'll pick up a few. Keep in mind that you don't want any branding on the chips aside from an Ornate logo. Branding in general reduces classiness.

So much awesome detail! I could look at these for hours!!

I particularly like that the borders are not solid colour but patterned.

Great job Randy, those cards are stunning. The more I see of this deck, the more decks I want.

Great development Randy! Although they don't have the one-way back design like the original, I'm fine by that. Keep going!

This is a deck I would certainly buy.  The compromise border containing both gold and silver was ingenious and yet simple.  You could have a potential hit on your hands.

Now, there's the matter of seeing those male court cards....   ;)

The border really does look great! I love how much work you've put into this deck and it's been cool to see the changes happen before our very eyes. Really excited about this deck! Great work  :)

The new borders look great, I don't have anything to say about the design anymore.
Even the pips position is awesome!
I'll be waiting for the rest of the court cards as well. ;D
For now my personal favorite is the queen of hearts. Her face looks familiar. ::)

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

I'm glad I posted these before they were finished and up for pledging.
That could have been disastrous! Your feedback really helped the design.

I will post again when some of the unfinished cards are ready to go.

thanks,
Randy

Finished up the Jacks. I went with Joust handles in place of the Queens "Flowers". The Kings will have Sword handles.

The jacks are amazing! I especially love the red ones. I can't get over how much originality there is in those court cards.
The mustache on the Jack of Spades does look a little weird, though. Not sure exactly why. :-\
And you might want to add a bit more to the black queens, they look too a bit too similar to me.

Can't wait to see the Kings now. ;)
