I also noticed that one side of the double backer on both decks is darker than the other side and darker than the rest of the deck. Does anyone else see this too?


Almost all double backers have different colors, especially darker ones. Check the Artifices for a great example, even my Brimstones have a slight difference.
I thought about it... is it because its printed identical on both sides so the ink basically may have gone through to the other side and made it darker?

Possibly, but then wouldn't both sides be darker than a normal back?

If you received your decks please read this:

I noticed that the black deck has thinner borders than the white deck. Is this true or are my eyes deceiving me?
I also noticed that one side of the double backer on both decks is darker than the other side and darker than the rest of the deck. Does anyone else see this too?


Yeap, the borders on my seronda is thinner than primavera as well. and I just realized when I held the deck for the first time, that the backs are actually more unique instead of just being an inverted black-white color difference. And as for the double backers, the color difference are slightly more obvious for the black than the white but like Russell said, it's almost unavoidable that double backers have slight color difference.

That's what's so great about this set of cards. The two decks share a basic design but have unique features and shading, unlike other black and white decks that are just plainly inverted.

Still waiting on some sort of confirmation on these, I was hoping they would ship them early to international buyers, the suspense is getting to me, it's going to be late this month by the time I get them. Any international buyers get shipping confirmation?

Thanks for letting me know, I think on fullboatdealers ebay page it says he will be away until the 9th may helping Alex ship orders so hopefully by then we'll have confirmation.

My decks arrived in the mail today, and they're gorgeous.  And I can see what he meant about the mismade Jack - it's subtle but noticeable.

My decks came in Friday. They are spectacular, and I love the court-cards. Although I'm not a huge fan of the black deck, I LOVE how the red court-cards (especially the kings) pop on the black decks.
I LIKE MAILBOXES!

People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Interesting.  I actually preferred the black deck over the white, though there's no doubt that both are beautiful.

i liked the backs of the white deck better, but i liked the faces on the black deck more. the colors seem to be more accented on the black deck because of the contrast. either way though these decks are gorgeous!

its a lot of fun doing flourishes with the deck because there is always something great to look at while your doing them instead of being stuck with some boring standard faces.
have you heard the word???

I agree, I actually like the black deck more as well in this case, mainly due to the thinner borders which will look awesome during fans. The red pips do stand out very well too. Trying to resist myself from overusing it though due to chippings which is unavoidable for any black decks..

I was trying to figure out just what language the two names of these decks comes from.  Primavera is a common name for spring in many Latin-based languages.  But neither French, Italian nor Spanish used the word "seronda" for a season.

I did some Google-spelunking and found a page listing the seasons in many languages, even the artificial ones, and finally hit upon the one language on the list that called autumn "seronda" - Asturian, a Latin-based language spoken by a bit over a half-million people living in the Asturias region of northern Spain.  First known written use of the language dates to 1155 CE.

Anyway, assuming the next two Seasons decks will use names of seasons from the same language, the "summer" deck will be called Branu and the "winter" deck will be called Iviemu.

I'm kind of hoping he changes languages, seeing those names.  They don't exactly roll off the tongue!
