Is it bad I'm a sucker for T11 since I sometimes buy just for the box?

1. Back
2. Courts

4. Tuck

Interesting how there's 4 different priority lists from 4 members. Perhaps the subject for a new topic in General?

So it seems like I'm the only one but since I don't open any of my decks anymore and I display them in my custom cases my order is:
1. Tuck
2. Everything else
Now if someone just pooped in a nice box that wouldn't mean I'd buy it but let's be honest- since I will probably never open it, what does it matter what's inside? But I guess it still does for some reason. There's something comforting about knowing good things lie inside. So if I ever were to open them I suppose the rest of my list would go:
2. Backs
3. Aces
4. Courts

p.s. I consider backs and tucks synonymous. If the back of a tuck isn't the same as the back of the cards I'm very rarely not upset.

+1 on that order.

Same here. I'll also echo Vasta's comment about Tuck's and backs being equally important. For me Backs that are lackluster compared to the tuck is a big let down for me. Case in point. Medallions. The tuck is gorgeous and while the backs are pretty in their own right, pale in comparison.

I saw this post after I posted before and I have to agree with Vasta also. I hardly ever open my decks, but knowing what's inside is just as important as well if I ever should decide to use them.

For those that don't open decks, I suppose you have another one of the same deck to use right?

For the most part. I have at least 2 of roughly 90% of my decks.
