when i handled the 1st V1, they felt great. However i do magic and cardistry (very poorly i might add) so i put many deck through the ringer. I do have my fair share of beautiful 'unopened' or 'opened but never shuffled' decks that are strictly for display. not because they started selling for $50 on ebay (if i had know thought ) but because the deck itself handles amazingly. I think that these 1st playing cards are doing so well because they are focused on function.įor the V1 release i only picked up one deck because like some other people here stated, the design wasn't super impressive. $30 for shipping is pricey, but this is my rational. Hey guys!! i was able to get a brick plus some singles of the V2's.
