Just got one of these and I'm beginning to wonder if this is even officially licenced. It doesn't say anything about Jaws on it and zero licensing information or trademark information. I've never seen a licensed deck without anything on it like this one.

The reason I ask is because the project indicated as such and it could be seen as misleading if it's not actually licenced.

From the campaign: "We received licensing rights from Roger Kastel to use his legendary artwork as the main attraction for the front of our tuck box." (The famous movie poster.)

I got my decks and like the pips, the tuck bite is impressive, but I wish he had the shark biting something that looked like the Orca and not an old sailing ship. I don't recall the movie having enough people to do proper movie character-like courts and not what he did.

Ok so they got the rights to use the artists art. But it's not an officially licenced Jaws product, hence no mention of the word Jaws anywhere. So it still seems a bit misleading imo.
