These really are unplayable.

I like them anyway.

But, yeah... not at that price tag. I'm going to pass.

1-way courts AND back? Pass.

$25? Hard pass.

I have to agree with the majority here. I "kinda" like these. However, after just getting Carne Griffith's Artist Deck, I have kind of filled this itch. And, at $25 a pop, that is just not happening. Heck, my Carne Griffith's Gilded deck was only $25.

"A deck of actual and original Ralph Steadman artwork is $25?"

"Sorry; but no. It's certainly an appealing deck but that is an absolutely ridiculous price point."

*Goes off and happily spends way more than than on a Lotrek deck and considers it money absolutely well spent*

So I guess this just highlights how much I like Lotrek's work.

[Edit: Oops, not original artwork. Point still stands]

I've been a fan of Ralph Steadman's work -- despite the nightmares -- since he illustrated Treasure Island. Not here tho.
