Actually could you sign me up for 2 instead of 1?Hey all:
I have updated the first post with the list of interested members.
Please note two things:
Thank you!
- It was necessary for me to increase the prices a bit, due to increased cost for my overseas manufacturer to produce them. Apologies that this has to happen, but I hope you still see a strong value there, and there are still discounts for multiple decks!
- THERE WILL BE NO THIRD RUN. PERIOD. Even if there is additional demand, I've decided not to dilute value by over-saturating the market.

Actually could you sign me up for 2 instead of 1?How do I pay you btw?
Very interested in these. Can anyone who purchased the first run of these cards speak to the durability of the lettering/foiling? I know they are pretty durable overall as they are made from plastic, but was curious about the durability of the lettering/foiling that’s applied to the plastic and wondered if anyone has noticed any peeling, flaking, cracking, etc.? I understand the majority of folks acquire these for display not use, but thought I’d ask anyway if anyone has any insight on this topic.
Overall though, wonderfully designed and great looking deck of cards. Great job OP!
They definitely look pretty durable and look like they will hold up well over time or even with normal/general handling and use. Thanks for actually performing a torture test and sharing!Hey there, thanks for asking! I decided that with so many people interested in these decks, it wouldn't hurt to put a card through a bit of a torture session. So here you go!
I had to scratch it hard with a fingernail to penetrate, but it is possible to scratch the finish off the back of the card. The gold will not flake off, as it is part of the final finish. Meaning, what would scrape the gold off will also scrape off the black. The faces of the cards fared far better than the backs, as I wasn't able to scrape off any finish with a fingernail at all. Also, the card cannot be ripped in half with human strength, but if you cut the edge first it can be ripped right in half.
This is a card from the first run, so it is about 4-5months old at this point.
Hope that helps clear up any questions!

Definitely in for one if you can ship to Tokyo? Superb work by the way!
In for two decks <3Hi all:
Didn't think I would, but I am ready to kick off a SECOND RUN of full decks of black and gold playing cards, as replicas of Channing Tatum's "Gambit" cards from Deadpool and Wolverine! Shipping is likely to be early- to mid-April 2025, but I will update as the timing firms up.

FEATURES:
THIS IS A CUSTOM SET planned, laid out, and partially-designed by me; this is NOT an "assembly-line-knockoff" type of production!
- Material is plastic, very bendable.
- Both sides are gold foil printed.
- Front side has a "holographic rectangle diamond" texture that simulates carbon fiber.
Back side has a speckled "matte" texture.
View attachment 1863846 View attachment 1863852
(Although technically matte, there is some reflectivity because of the plastic finish.)
- Decks of 54 cards (including Jokers) will come in a gold-printed black "matte" box.
