Is this a new limited edition Legal Tender Chinese Holo deck?
I wanted to get my hands on a basic deck for a while now but they were sold out. Was the original a holo deck?
Yes, the April 2023 No. 13 Club Deck is Legal Tender Chinese Holo

There are standard, limited (mine, posted above), and gilded editions I believe
The original was a Kickstarter campaign several years ago, and although it was supposed to feature a few holographic foil elements, JR was unable to accomplish what he wanted to with the vendors he was working with at the time and those elements had to be abandoned. This lead to a bit of grumbling among some of the backers (including here at UC), and when the handling of the cards was less than awesome and there were some other issues that don't bear going into at this point, there was some understandable unhappiness on both sides for a little while.
Fortunately, everyone eventually made nice and there is once again peace in the valley... and look at how far we've all come since then! There's no doubt that JR's design skills as well as his working with his vendors to elicit the results he desires have both taken huuuge leaps forward, and look at the results. This looks miles ahead of what he'd originally planned, and I can't wait for my own set to arrive in my mailbox because oh my, these look sweet.
