I found that someone was making the standard Swiss Jass cards in a classic full figure version. So I ordered some, and I can show you some pictures. Very nice, and unusual to be able to find a new edition of such full figure cards.

These cards were drawn by Jens Riedweg in Switzerland, and this is his site:

https://schweizerjass.ch/en/

The cards are a digitally redone version of a classic old pattern by Jakob Peyer. The cards are also printed in Switzerland. The full figure ones that I got don't have a tuck box, and have a smooth finish, the same sort of cardstock that you will see for say typical Altenburger or Piatnik German-suited cards. You can see he also has other Swiss cards for sale on that site, including the more typical modern double-ended ones. And amazingly, the stamps on the envelope match the cards!

Looks like a pretty cool find, really.  You don't see cards like that much these days.
