Review: Super sauf l’étiquette sur la boîte impossible à retirer proprement - Belles cartes de qualité qui donne envie d’en acheter d’autres séries, le seul point négatif c’est le retrait de l’étiquette “édition 2022” qui scelle la boîte, cela colle fort et arrache une partie des dorures, une fois retiré il reste encore des traces de colles que j’ai péniblement essayer de retirer avec de l’alcool. Du coup cela donne moins envie de les collectionner si toutes les boites sont déjà nazes après première ouvertures.
Review: Le più belle carte di sempre - Le ho comprate perché desideravo un mazzo di carte particolari, per giocare a scala 40, ramino, burraco e poker, ma non immaginavo che avrebbero superato così tanto le mie aspettative. Già dalla confezione lavorata in rilievo con le finiture in oro si capisce che non si sta maneggiando il solito mazzo di carte. Il dorso ha un disegno unico, molto ricercato ed elegante così come la grafica delle facce, anch'esse con dettagli in oro per le figurre, i jolly e l'asso di picche. I colori sono intensi e molto profodi. Lo spessore ridotto delle carte ne garantisce uana maneggevolezza facilitata mentre il cartoncino telato conferisce una elevata robustezza alle stesse. Mi piace il fatto che scivolano molto bene, ma non decollano a razzo come quelle in pvc, né restanno incollate come quelle economiche.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 3 questions:  if anyone knows, what does the ag stand for?  are these poker size or regular playing card size?  are these only for magic?**
A: The AG stands for Artist Guild.  These are poker.  They are a deck of cards that you play with, not just for magic.

**Q: Can you create a custom design that I can copyright. I am planning on purchasing thousands of decks.**
A: Sure, feel free to contact us.

**Q: Is it plastic or paper?**
A: They are Not pure plastic cards.  These are Bicycle style VERY HIGH quality playing cards. So that does make them paper but coated.  You want these cards.

**Q: Is the box that these cards come in grooved? As in can I feel the texture on the box?**
A: The box is not grooved. It’s a standard box.  The cards are great cards. I play bridge with them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sensacional producto
*by C***N on 6 July 2020*

Ya llevo utilizando las cartas un par de semanas y aunque al principio el material es "resbaloso" con el tiempo van poniéndose muy manejables. La ilustración y estética son excepcionales. Sin duda fue una buena compra.
