Exquisite Playing Cards from CARC

[Robert Adams]

Just got mine too...

What's with the one way front?

The number part of the indices are bolder at one end, so a pack that has been mixed end-to-end looks messy when fanned. As if you've mixed two decks!

Loving everything else!

That is a mechanism for magicians. Have the deck all arranged in one way, have someone pick a card, put it in the other way...that kind of thing. The Legends feature that as well. Subtle but useful if you are the magic type.

Yeah, fair enough.

Though I wouldn't have compromised the design for that effect. It can be achieved without slight of hand with a normal deck and I'm finding a randomly mixed deck quite uneasy on the eyes, no?

I honesty don't think it's that bad, but just as well, I noticed that the back design is a subtle one way back. There's some center elements that are intentionally a bit more left or right. The printing is way to perfect for it anything but intentional. I only noticed it today as I was riffle shuffling the deck. The one way back doesn't align with the one way front of the card, but it's a great extra feature none the less.

Ohhh tempting. I wasn't able to get any Exquisites since they flagged my purchase as a possible fraudulent one probably because the shipping and billing address were half a world away.

Have you tried contacting Conjuring Arts directly to inquire about it?  Or perhaps even Bill himself?  You should - your name isn't exactly unknown in the collecting community and Bill's a fellow 52+J member.

I didn't because I got sick at the end of the day and hospitalized for a week 2 days after. I kinda thought I was over spending during that month anyway so I figured I'd get one at the after market. But this sale is hooking me in...

Just picked up one of these Exquisite deals, figured they absolutely deserved a bump.  This really is a steal.

They are considering of the half dozen, it's only 5$ more for the 3 Blue and 3 Red plus their exclusive Pack Jackets .... now the sad thing is I placed my order for 5 Blues + 1 Red one day before the Exquisite deal .... . Talk about worst timing ever.

If you contact CARC as fast as possible they might be able to accommodate a change.  They're a pretty nice bunch of people over there, and if you catch them early enough in the fulfillment process, they make be willing to assist you.
