It’s a used yet uncancelled deck from a Las Vegas Casino. Well, that probably means I got it off of eBay. 5$ for this one with shipping. I like it.

Sam's Town : Part of older casino card boxes.

Sam's Town : No Jokers, You get Ads insteads.

A little difficult to come across this exact casino. As for the same brand…. Bee cambric finish…on uncancelled casino decks….that’s a little difficult too, if you’re going for older stock of cards.

Sam's Town : No Bee Ace here, you get a Boyd Ace instead. Solid.

Life/Finish: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○ ○

It’s Bee’s cambric finish. The good one. I’d imagine these were awesome at one point, but age kinda killed it for this deck. However, all the good qualities are there I guess. Good snap. Holds well. More durable than a bicycle deck. Fans wells. White borders? How about no borders but its white. Makes for (un)interesting fans and such.

Nothing bad here. Nothing exceptional either.

Back Design: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○

It’s no background, with the casino logo twice. Excellent. Simplicity is always a plus here. But then, there’s no borders. Might be confusing if you have selective amnesia like I do. What. Nothing…

Fans and Spreads: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○

Uhm. Boring. Hm. If you like blank fans and spreads like I do. Then this is indeed a good deck. Assuming you use the back. Because of the extra large “border”. Yup. As for the stock. I had to also revive this deck using fanning powder and now its awesome. Like some of the other decks.

-Sam’s Town. I used to go there with my family when I lived in Las Vegas. What. I lived in Vegas…? Yea…that explains a lot. Sort of. This deck has some abnormalities. Aside from the usual ‘casino’ red. And the indifferent back design. It’s a gambling hall. The back design ,,,it says Gambling Hall! Like the indices on the 10 through K and Aces. As for the spot cards, theyre indented towards the center a bit much too. Check out those spreads. Scary. If I could travel back in time and make custom cards for myself, I’d use this stock. Maybe. Theres a few others I like more. But we haven’t got to them yet.

Back on track. It’s Wednesday.

Sure, it’s a custom deck. But passing that price onto the consumer isn’t always a cool choice. Oh well. I forget. Was it 5, 6, or 7 a deck….only at MJM….hmm..

Crimson : "Bloody" Ace of Spades and Jokers

Availability: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

MJM says limited printing. We know limited means…we made too many so we need to sell them faster…somehow…you could probably get one or a few at this point, nothing special atm.

Life/Finish: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○

Personally. I like these. Not because its all red, black and white, or emo or anything. Lets see. Feeling of stock. Is . Really Soft. Softer than bikes. But still with a ‘soft’ snap. Did I mention its soft. Everything else is about average. Probably takes hits and bends more so than other decks. But the one I have open is still in … good life after 1-2 months. Holds together well. Somewhat durable. Unfortunately, it eats heat easy. So protect them/?

Faro: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○

Soft is always a plus. Easy. To. Faro.

Back Design: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○ ○
Red, Black, and White gets super bias points from me. Hm. You can see…razors… a rose…among other things. The white border at least keeps it from going crazy. Aside from that, fans and spreads aren’t anything special.

Mnemonica: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○

Well. I don’t want to use this deck for XCM or everyday use. So I Keep in mnemonica stack. And since that uses so many faros. it’s a plus. Super. 1 the 4 of clubs…2 the 2 of hearts….blah blah blah. Its by Juan Tamariz. Good stuff.

Comments

It's Pierrot. The dunny from Devilrobots. With a bunny hat. Under the detective hat.

-Dan Sperry. His acts are quite nice. I don’t have anything against him yet. Unless you count these cards. What…no…just kidding…these cards are alright. But then again. I don’t have much praise for them either. Except for the color scheme. Give me something red black and white, and I’ll buy it. Which means I’m looking at those 09 anglos sometime soon. How’d they know??? Must be real magic.
