From the book: ”Jeff Busby’s Secret of the Palmettos” As a playing card alone – even without the “Secret of the Palmettos” – the Texan is a superior card. Aside from the appeal of the elegant back design, it is equal to the standard Bee diamond Back, or the old Bee Worm Back, for visual deception with a false deal. The finish is well-known air-cushion finish which allows the card to literally “float” over each other. They are highly flexible, so steals and palms work beautifully. Moreover, they have a “slip”, “snap”, and a thin feel to them that makes turning over a double, feel like handling a feather. The cutting process is superb. (Jeff Busby, 1998)

Designed by Vitaly Fishilevich of Kipod Tattoo & Piercing in Tel aviv. The idea for these playing cards came from Vitaly Fishilevich\\\'s childhood love of pirate stories and hidden treasures. As an adventurous young boy he imagined the cards that the pirates themselves used to play with while drinking rum at sea. A recurring motif is the symbolism of life and death, and there are references in the cards to the subjects of Voodoo, and of Spanish conquistadors, amongst others. The black and white artwork can be used as a sampler of tattoo flash designs and is made in the style of Calavera art (sugar skulls).

"This is the first LPCC deck collaboration with the talented artist Nick Vlow. It features a beautiful matte uncoated paper tuck box, with UV accents, and a minimal back design that flourishers and cardists will love.

The Archduke Eagle Backs are made on German paper in India, created by an unknown Indian entrepreneur and card collector. Their stock is slightly heavier and thicker than a standard Bicycle deck, and they have a "Quantum Grain Finish" which reportedly feels like a small amount of fanning powder has been applied. The faces are standard USPCC faces, and the box is also slightly bigger and of thicker cardboard. Comes with 2 custom Jokers and a custom Ace of Spades.
