i dont know how much the paper used for a tuck affects price but i cant imagine it would too much to not be worth it for a tuck that otherwise has most all of the standard ''luxury'' features. despite the use of foil, this tuck still looks and gives the feel of really cheap. this glossy stock is a big miss for this deck. not only does the glossy texture look bad but since the paper is white and has a black face, printed or otherwise, the edges of the paper where it is cut are white and looks really bad with the overall black color of the tuck. it doesnt need to be some super expensive handmade pearlescent stock but at least a relatively inexpensive black matte stock would do. for a new deck, you can already see the edges chipping or where the black looks rubbed off.

the foil is also not great as far as... accuracy, intricacy, precision? you can see many keys that have no separation from themselves or the border.

even if this were a bochiero tuck i still would not buy it as i dont really care about elton john, but this just looks like pretty bad quality. especially when it is going for about the standard price of $15.
