Don, Jake has confirmed UPSCC on the facebook. I was very excited when I read that bit as well.
If I were an eskimo, I would build my igloo next to a supermarket.

Don, these have indeed been printed at USPCC.

Thanks for that - I did believe Agera94 when he told me.  It was simply the fact that you listed your company by initials and with a Manhattan address.  Expert Playing Cards has the same initials and operates from the CARC offices on W 30 St.  I realized it even as I was completing the post!

Thanks for coming by, Mike; I hope you'll come by again soon.  If you wouldn't mind, please create a topic about you on the "Introduce Yourself" board so people here can give you a proper welcome!

The are a very unique deck, compared with Ellusionist's average take with dark and majestic playing cards. It's interesting to see them step into, sort of, D&D's realm, with their turn at a classical deck of playing cards.

This is the first deck from E in a long time that's intrigued me enough to place an order.

I really think they nailed the theme. This deck looks sweet.

Just wanted to weigh in with my two cents on this deck!

I managed to pick up one from JP Playing Cards over here in the UK.

All i can say is wow, this is one fantastic deck. The feel of the cards are incredible and handle extremely well.

Im a mad men fanatic and to see a deck that encapsulates the golden era of advertising and the mad men theme is awesome.

Design wise, the vintage font and courts represents the style of the era and the back design is incredibly simplistic and effective. The tuck box is embossed with the Vintage Pressers logo (Does anyone know why they are called Pressers) and it kind of gives that Lucky Strike cigarette box feel.

Will have to buy another at some point to stick on display.

Bravo, Ellusionist.

Probably because of the similarity to Squeezers.
