Hey guys, I just picked myself up some "Civil-War Era" playing cards down at my local hobby shop.
The cards themselves are pretty neat. They've got an alright back design (a little too "flowery" for my taste), but it is asymmetrical, making it possible to do some cool effects.
The faces are cool looking themselves, but impractical. The faces have no actual indicies, just pips and/or designs to signify their values. That's what they were like back in the Civil War, so it's kinda cool.
The stock is very thick, and the finish is pretty mediocre, but it still works. They are surprisingly good for fans and flourishes, though the pointy corners get annoying at times.
See the pictures below... (on the stock comparison, there are bikes on the right and a "Civil War Era" card on the left)
