Lenth's Premium Art Cards - WE ARE SOLD OUT. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT SOME!
LENTH'S PREMIUM ART CARDS are real, useable, playable playing cards that I designed and make right at home. By "real", I mean these are standard poker-sized playing cards that are made of the same stock as your off-the-shelf cards.
The face cards and aces are original comicky illustrations.
This is a 54-card deck with two jokers. The backs are available in three handsome colors: Redorange, Army Green, and Navy Blue.
Lenth's Premium Art Cards, like most quality playing cards, are coated. This means they will glide gracefully across your table when dealt, and slip against each other in your hand, for a pleasing and friction-free card playing experience. For people who enjoy a more papery feel, I also offer uncoated cards. These are cheaper and easier for me to produce, but they probably won't last as long as the coated ones. They are, however, much better for building card houses.
Note: These cards are hand-made art, but they are also designed specifically to be played with and used just as you would a store-bought deck of cards. They are cut presicely by a machine, not by hand, and as such they are identical in size and can be shuffled. To re-emphasize: YOU CAN, AND MUST, PLAY CARD GAMES WITH THESE CARDS, PLEASE. To repeat: PLEASE USE THE CARDS. THEY ARE CARDS.
Each deck comes with this complimentary 8-page informational tiny comic book, drawn by me. Pretty neat!
June 18, 2011 Update: we are now sold out. Perhaps in the future more cards will be made.
