They have interesting pip designs and court cards.
Definitely getting one of these if I had the chance

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

They look interesting, I'll give them that.

BTW: who thought that blurry photos meant to imply motion are a good way to market a product?  I like to SEE what I'm buying, especially if it has (or is meant to have) visual appeal!

There's creativity in the design, but it's not something that appeals to me.  The backs and face cards look practically muddy, as if made from corrupted image files.  In my opinion, that's more of a bug than a feature.  I also don't like the broken pips so much.  I don't see how they fit the theme, especially when the pattern they're broken up with is more like squares than triangles.

I recognize that, while they aren't what you're really buying, the tuck boxes do help sell the product.  But this tuckbox looks primitive and not well designed to me.

If I had piles of cash waiting to be burned if I don't spend it, sure, I might pick some of these up.  But I can think of a lot better things out there to blow the cash on instead.

But hey - that's just my opinion.

You've made purchases from here - and this was once a strange site to you!

Ordering in Korean would be the difficult part for me if I was considering this...

I should be able to get a friend to figure this out if you guys are interested. :P
The decks are $10.60, for those too lazy to make the conversion. ;)
I might pick up a few, I actually really like the look of the faces.

Although a bit overpriced, I think these are very creative. Am planning on getting them, but from a reseller.

Cowboys, FreeMason (triangle) and bricks and fade. An unusual combination but put together quite okay.
I will put this one on hold Till I figure out which of my friends are going to Korea this year. :P Thanks for posting!

Although your listing is about the triangles prototype, you are actually promoting your listing so you should probably create a new thread about this in the Sales/Trades section. I'm not trying to be a moderator....just trying to help you get more views! :)

Hey guys check this out. I just listed this on eBay last night. It comes with an uncut sheet and a deck. I ship worldwide. Do take a look. Any question feel free to ask. Thanks!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-USPC-Triangles-Prototype-playing-cards-deck-Limited-Uncut-Sheet-/280866696396?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4164f5accc


THanks for the picture Sliverboi...!!
Good luck on your ebay selling.

I think you are the only person who sell this deck outside the Korea !!

I am the STISO moderator, and yes, it should be there, not here!  :))


Now what if someone only wants to buy decks and not uncuts?

It's a common-enough practice to mark a new deck as a 1st Edition.  That doesn't mean there will be a 2nd Edition.  There's been no second edition of the Split Spades Lions, and every pack was marked 1st Edition.  I think Blaine did the same for the White Lions as well.

This deck was a good surprise for me. I've ordered it from Singapore and the faces are beautiful. Simple but the detail of the pips in every cards is nice. The court cards are also good. The only thing that I think is less acomplished are the backs. Even so, it's a beautiful deck.
