If its held together by glue, I use a heat gun.
Hold the tuck upside down, and use the lowest setting and apply heat. Once u notice the glue start to liquefy, remove heat, and place your finger over the flap to hold in place about 30 seconds. This should redistribute the glue evenlyacross the bottom flap.
If it is an adhesive strip instead of glue, I do the same, but with a hair dryer instead, and you'll have to judge for yourself how long.
I usually only do for the glue, as with the strips, it kind of "is what it is". Hope that helps!
On the other hand, spades is a suit. Spades contains thirteen cards. Thus, "Spades is trump" is also acceptable. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/spades confirms that "spades" can be used with both singular or plural verbs, and it gives specifically the example of "spades is trump".
I like the theme, but I feel like some aspects of it look cheesy or something... like more of a novelty deck from a gift shop.
Kickstarter trends are an interesting thing to observe and will often surprise you. I am having trouble understanding how this deck didn't take off:

Check into the world of baseball card displays. You might have better luck there finding ways to display single cards etc. For example something like THIS. Good luck.
Its a finger nail polish holder lol, found it on Amazon.
Heres the link to it if anyone is interested in it.

Just regular playing cards with Italian Suits, do exist as far as I know
I use these clear plastic cases which only cost $2 each, and $24 for a dozen. They are also available from Amazon.
As a you say, a card clip won't protect all sides of the tuck case from damage. I use card clips for straightening out a warped deck, and these plastic cases for carrying my decks around, since they give all round protection.
These feel amazing, but are some of the least functional playing cards I have ever seen.
You can't tell what value the card is at a glance, numbers are represented by chunks of humans vaguely shaped, it has pips in all four corners, the red and black are almost the same shade of grey, and all the face cards are drawings of kickstarter backers so you can't tell the difference between a king, queen, jack, or joker.
The price tag looks to be too good to be true.
I have no personal experience with the shop, but I just googled for 'theshopen reviews' and the general opinion is not recommended. The website is apparently too new. Here is the first link that pops up for me. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/theshopen.com
Honestly, I see no reason that people wouldn't want to use these mockups...sadly they probably don't know they exist. Have you ever looked into or thought about having a monetized version to sell through a place like Creative Market? Doing a quick search on their site revealed a handful of playing card mockups, which are much more basic than your offering.
Here's a link that you can see the current offerings...
Same here cannot contact their customer service!!!!!
I have been sending emails nonstop since I made the order, I sent like 100 emails and every time I got an auto email from Microsoft Outlook saying "freshdesk.com gave this error: Mailbox disabled, not accepting messages"
I tried Instagram dm to the NOC page and Pandrea, and of course didnt get anything back. I even tried Blue Crown Facebook page, and all I get is the god damn auto reply system.
I was able to fit 45 decks in this display. This is it for anyone that's interested:
They also have a vertical version available.
Sorry I couldn't get back sooner, here's the link https://www.amazon.com/JOKARTE-Bicycle-MetalLuxe-Playing-Cards/dp/B06W5MRBML/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=gold+foil+playing+cards&qid=1620082914&sr=8-11
The deck that I have that immediately popped into my head would be the Rubik's deck: https://www.amazon.com/Rubiks-Playing-Cards-Tricks-Fantasma/dp/B0786S8DWS
Now, they aren't gonna be the same level of quality, cardstock-wise, but for a marked deck with a "fun" back design, they would certainly be different.
Thanks I hung them using these acrylic invisible kids floating bookshelf. I have seen better solutions but I had ordered the first 6 awhile back and just kept with the same ones.
if you stalk amazon, bricks of standard bikes drop to $12.50 USD every couple of months. they're usually about $18, but are uncommonly high at $24 right now. that's still only $2/deck and standard bikes are great (despite was another poster today was ranting about) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AMO8A0
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QMKW79V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_W82-FbBVWBAC1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Each shelf fits 6 decks perfectly, and they have the front lip so the cards are slightly slanted which is exactly what I wanted
I got them from Amazon here they are cheap but sturdy and will keep your decks snug and protected. I love them will definitely be getting more
Agreed. While I’d love something wooden, like the top right in OP’s pictures, price wise I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to beat these:

These are just $4 each on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Civil-War-Playing-Cards/dp/B00MEOBTPU), a bargain for getting a Jackson Robinson designed deck. If you don't know his other decks keep looking at his site invisible39 linked to. Especially the Federal 52 Reserve Note, which is a bargain in uncut form - https://kings-wild-project.myshopify.com/products/black-edition-reserve-note-uncut-sheet
Check Amazon. Like the person stated below me, you can get all 3 of the series for 28. Here is the title of the listing - Magic Makers Ultimate Black Bicycle Collection "The Reverse Black Deck, " "The Black Scorpion Deck" and "The Black Spider Deck" - and here is the link for you https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Makers-Ultimate-Collection-Scorpion/dp/B001YJA0G0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1509374703&sr=8-2&keywords=black+scorpion+card+deck
They are actually quite common. As well as being for sale cheap on Amazon, there are more than 20 decks exactly like this for sale on eBay right now. You can buy a brand new (sealed) deck identical to this for as little as US$2 to $5 on eBay, so obviously quite a few of them are still around unopened, even though they come from the 1980s/1990s.
Given how many are available, maybe they are more recent than that. You might want to send an email with a couple of photos to the cruise company here and ask them directly.
It’s a pelican 1400 case. I got it on sale for my camera but it turned out to be too small for it. So i figured why not put my most valuable playing cards in it. Here it is on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Pelican-1400-Case-Foam-Black/dp/B00009XVKY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1531694374&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=pelican+1400+case&dpPl=1&dpID=41sogm-sNML&ref=plSrch
It’s expensive for just playing cards but I got it on sale.
In Austria, we have a card game called UNO (don’t know if that’s a thing in other countries). It basically has all the rules you wrote but with its own cards. The are number cards (0-9) in 4 colors and special cards (also in the 4 colors) for switching direction, skipping a player, +2 cards, +4 cards and color change (these last two are black and can be placed on any color).
Here is a link to amazon

there are a few out there like this. if you need help finding any more, you can comment back or even DM me any time and ill help ya
These can be found cheaper but probably best you'll find on amazon.
Phoenix Playing Cards USPCC - Blue & Red (Blue) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078KKHZYB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_egHjDb74SBN5X
It was the Orbiter 2.0, there's a few in stock on Amazon
I had to look it up, that is my actual deck I keep in my messenger bag. I picked it up at Barnes and Noble years ago.
Seconded. Working Hands is fantastic stuff. Put it on before going to bed and by morning it will have done it’s magic. They make a version for dry feet too.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076Z7KJHC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title
There are many other options as well. Magnetic acrylic picture frames.
If you want to easily and safely remove that sticker, get some Un-Du. It works beautifully, leaves no residue of any kind (not even an odor), and one bottle lasts a long time.
Awhile back I used it on a deck I bought from Barnes & Noble, and a little bit seeped inside the cellophane. I worried at first, but once it dried there was absolutely no sign it had happened.
Yes you can

Damn, you are really setting a new bar for playing cards with this. I love it—but, I’m curious why you chose to go with a vertical sleeve instead of just integrating a scanimation flap onto the tuck itself that would open like a book cover —wouldn’t that be a lot cheaper to do, while also keeping the animation full-figure and even reversible?
that was a deck series I came across on amazon. They have about a dozen different decks that are all well done. More scans from these decks will be up in a future update

I have several of these:

$70 sounds expensive but I don’t know their value. I don’t know if there is a way to message the seller and haggle.
These are $6.99: https://smile.amazon.com/Apostrophe-Games-Erase-Blank-Cards/dp/B01H4D8ITK
Might be a good option, unless you wanted them to look like actual playing cards for aesthetic reasons.
There are also practice cardistry cards available on Amazon that are basically thicker plastic cards that should be able to take a dry erase marker better than the blank paper cards.
Not sure your budget or how reusable they should be, but might be something worth looking into if they're going to use them a lot.
This pattern is still printed, and perhaps the most readily available new copy of the particular variant pictured would be Piatnik's current 'schafkopf tarock' decks. (For example via Amazon or Tarock.net)
Unrelated to the cards, but related to your theme. I'm assuming you like pirates, I recently read this book and it was very fun, it's about the economics of pirating and their ship politics https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Hook-Hidden-Economics-Pirates/dp/0691150095
An image of Napoleon continues to appear on Nintendo's 'Daitoryo' (president) branding for traditional Japanese cards. However, many Japanese card manufacturers historically had domestic-market branding with figures in western-style military clothing, both Japanese and foreign. I believe this originates broadly from the enthusiasm for westernization and militarism of Meiji-era Japan, and perhaps more specifically as a result of the early popularity of the 'Daitaicho' (battalion commander) branding trademarked by Tamada Fukushodo (later 'Nihon Karuta') in the 1880s/1890s.
Sure!
- The cards themselves are mostly ad cards, blanks, or double-backers where possible. There are a couple that had to use either jokers or standard cards (especially the ones where there were no ad cards and I really liked the way the jokers look).
- The frame was $16 <strong>at Target</strong>
- Mounting the cards was a mega pain. They are held to the poster board with double-sided scotch tape.
- Basically, I laid a huge sheet of graph paper down beneath the glass, lined each of the cards up face up along with the graph paper lines.
- Then I taped a tiny corner of each to the glass first just to hold them in place, then applied the double-sided tape to the face of the card.
- I pressed the poster board over the top, flipped the whole sandwich upside down, and then once the card was stuck to the poster, I lifted the glass carefully and removed the placeholder tape from the corner of each card.
It was definitely annoying but it was worth it and I love the way it came out. Hope that helps!
Not sure if this is the right place to promote this, but here goes...
I made an app called Baccarat Dealer that deals out hands of Baccarat from a real simulated deck. I think this app would be useful for anyone who operates a game room or hosts a casino night.
I am running a limited time promotional sale on the App Store and Google Play stores. The app is free for today, but starting tomorrow, it will cost $0.99 to download.

P.P.S. I'm working on making an app called "The Deck" which allows you to connect your phone to others' via Bluetooth and play various card games with them.
Where did I get the shelves? Amazon
Here's one of 2 kinds I've used, and I think these are the ones in this picture. There are several types available. Look for acrylic floating shelves or nail polish organizers.

They're still very common in Europe. Amazon France has lots of them, although many are 32 card decks.
They are still not really that close to paper, but I really like how the Bicycle Prestige cards handle.

Dubai Expo 2020 has a shope on Amazaon and the cards are there, but I dunno if there are restrictions on which countries they'll ship to
https://www.amazon.ae/Expo-2020-Dubai-Playing-Cards/dp/B09JPDGN4D?ref\_=ast\_sto\_dp
Yes what I meant is Dubai. You got to hurry as the Expo ends on 31st March. Or you can find it here
Yes I found the Amazon store link You can definitely check there.
A little bit of Un-Du on a paper towel is the best and safest possible method for removing sticker residue without leaving an odor, rubbing off color, or risking other damage to the surface of whatever you’re cleaning. This is what artists, curators, restorers, framers, and other professionals use on extremely valuable items.

Not a Ukrainian flag deck per se but definitely a Ukrainian style set, & a beautiful one at that. Might have to move quick they're almost out
Two deck set
Manufactured by my favorite card producer Piatnik of Vienna, Austria
I agree with the other comments KEM's are great. Hoyles are decent as well
However these Modiano cards are my personal favorite as far as plastic cards are concerned.
Durable, high quality, quadruple indexed, available in multiple colors all without breaking the bank
That’s a decent deck, for sure. My favorite find on Amazon was the $16 “Odyssey Historical Themed Poker Size Playing Cards— Uniquely Illustrated for Cardistry or Magic Card Tricks” .
Un-Du adhesive remover. It doesn’t stink like Goo-Gone, works extremely well, and it’s safe to use on paper products.
The font you're using is very basic. It looks like a generic computer font for a Chinese or Japanese reader.
There are a lot of Chinese fonts you can use that are a bit more interesting
I have this one: The Famous Herbs Playing Cards
That company sells a whole series of nature themed decks with pretty illustrations.
Does anyone have a good place to buy displays? I'm thinking of buying a couple of these from Amazon:

I gotta get me a deck of Cuss Cards. And yours is the only collection I’ve seen other than my own that has that hilarious Duluth Trading deck. Safely remove price stickers with this stuff. It works extremely well, doesn’t stink; and doesn’t damage anything.
It’s a great deck, and a good deal, but it’s not old. Currently sold on Amazon for $7.95 shipped But that vintage look is what makes it so cool!
I use a humidifier with the humidifying part taken out and a Rechargeable Silica Gel pack inserted.
Anything reasonably sealed would work good enough.
Bicycle Prestige can be a good choice for this. A good mix of quality and durability!
https://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Prestige-Dura-Flex-Playing-Colors/dp/B00279GNG2
Probably not very useful but just a note:
If your scans are rather consistent and you know basic scripting, imagemagick could process a folder of about 100 images or 900 decks (assuming 9 decks in 1 image) in less than a minute.
I used to store them in shoe boxes. I just got one of these racks a couple of weeks ago and they stand on my dresser. I only have 73 decks so far but I definitely plan on geting another rack when I get over 100.
Get a bunch of these, Desiccant Silica Gel Beads, sucks up excess moisture. Toss 1 or 2 in the boxes you're using to store your cards.
Thanks! The Playing Card Display Frame - Holds 60 Decks of Collectible Poker Cards, Display Case Only https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XN3D9HR/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_MTM92SJ5MPMHXE68E6HH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
There are a few companies that sell blank cards
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4CZQ14/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_H7QJW013C0T83P4NCW16
There is a video (I think it was from ispcc or how it's made) that shows card construction. The black core is actually the adhesive used to glue the cardstock together so that it's not light transparent.
You could probably install LED lights or lamps (the ones used for paintings/painting exhibits) like this Biglight Wireless lamp @ Amazon or this Joosenhouse Antique Bronze lamp above your deck rack to make it look brighter. Or you could even use a ring lamp, if you’d like.

I have this deck and at first glance, would have sworn they were Cartamundis, as they have printed a lot of Star Wars playing card decks recently. But, after searching a little online, turns out they're made by Aquarius: https://www.amazon.com/AQUARIUS-Star-Kenner-Playing-Cards/dp/B07RJP8ZNG/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=star+wars+figures+playing+cards&qid=1617243072&sr=8-1
Not the best deck in the world, for sure, but considering I'm old enough to have owned many of the figures pictured, it's a pretty cool deck to see.
Here's the link for the old removed display and here's a link for a new one that popped up. I got the old one before it disappeared, which is supposed to come this week. My guess is it's just temporarily gone while they catch up on orders
Thank you! I use my phone (Oneplus 5T) to film. Works surprisingly well! For the tripod, I use this which clips to the desk: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S9JXQP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_ZY96TDRDZFQZ8A9217HD.
I wonder if they tried. Look at all the IP Funko has been able to license—THAT’S insane. I got a Christmas ornament years ago by Carlton Cards that played a clip of it.
https://www.amazon.com/Paladone-PP4137PS-Playstation-Playing-Cards/dp/B0793KHKDY
Original box for reference. I basically took the concept and made it nicer. In the original box the cards we're very loose too.
but have not installed them yet. Will add pictures when done.
I thought I had the link to the product in Amazon but not sure why is not showing. Here it is https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B076D2W939/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unless you’re in California, order some Un-Du sticker, tape, and label remover. It works amazingly well, and unlike Goo Gone it really doesn’t have an odor. There just isn’t a better, safer solution for removing tape/sticker residue (or even entire labels).
Also, in my experience, you can use it on practically any deck without fear of it discoloring or damaging it. (No guarantee though—there may always be an exception I’m unaware of).
Not the green or blue ones, but the Circuit PCB deck, I see a similarity! I only see 3 card faces of the Bicycle deck though. They aren't the same, but close enough to make me bring it up! lol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VKGMBSN/ref=twister_B07VKC2982?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

its suprisingly hard to find multicolored decks. I have that one and a pair of Copag plastic ones. Only ones ive seen.

Though, if I’m you play to get it, mind that the court and ace cards have a different aesthetic by suit. I’ll try to grab pictures before I leave for work here in a bit. There is the winged knight thing that a pictured, one looks very nature-y, etc.
Yup, Fargin is completely correct.

I had these coins from a number of old KickStarter card projects and couldn't figure out how best to display them. I went with a desk display after considering a frame/case or shelf. These are the 7.1"x3.5" desk displays from Amazon. Works well to hold most dealer coins with up to 3 per case. There's about a 1/2" lip before the black plastic edge runs into the clear part (which is like really strong shrink wrap type material), so it would be possible to very carefully hang on a wall with small nails that are only exposed from wall less than that.
A bunch of people are always asking about card displays and storage, I use this acrylic nail polish rack from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Bottles-Acrylic-Mounted-Storage-Organizer/dp/B00PTBJR0E/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1521957346&sr=8-30&keywords=nail+polish+rack

here's a similar thing at amazon that would let you take them out to handle. i have two of these and i love them

Thanks! It’s not hard at all, I used a 10mm barrel invisible hinge from amazon: (Antrader 4-Pack 10mm Brass Barrel... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K71L7XQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share).
Walnut was the wood used and then I cut a 20 degree angle for the resting self and then a perpendicular cut for the back. I sized the shelf width based on the angle of card deck. I first cut it to length and width then did the recess for the decks. I drilled the holes for the hinges next with the final cut being separating the bracket from the shelf (this way the hinge holes were aligned perfectly). Last step I finished with Waterlox finish (found at wood craft or amazon).
I got them from Amazon here

They're fucking cool. Each face has a different scene from the movie (in chronological order from S > H > D > C). It comes in a plastic Studio Ghibli case and the backs have No-Face. Here's a kinda sloppy pic of them: https://imgur.com/a/8yPx40C
They're not the highest quality but I really like the backs and wanted it for the nostalgia factor haha.

Asked the wife where she got it and cringed a little with sticker shock. She said there are some similar ones on ebay that are a little cheaper, but wanted to get it through Amazon in case there were return problems,etc.
This is the perfect way to display them
Sam's, Costco and Amazon have 12 packs of good cards for about 15-16 USD. Costco and Sam's usually have cards in the books section and not the games or anything btw.
