Traditionally cut?
I found that there are a BUNCH of decks out there currently sold that are traditionally cut without the advertising and price mark-up.
Here are the few I've listed that are traditionally cut (cut from the face):
Bicycle Vintage Series
David Blaine Split Spades
Lee Asher 605s
Bees (someone told me it's not but the ones I have table faro face down out of the box so I assume mine are traditionally cut, but there are reports that Bee may have discontinued that cut)
I'm sure there are a bunch of others that are traditionally cut. From what I understand, what makes the Richard Turner cards special is that they are "traditionally cut" but that implies it is unique. It is clearly not. And the price mark-up versus the decks above doesn't help its cause (from where I am, those decks cost 8.95 each whereas the ones I listed above are ~4.95).
I also find these "traditional cut" cards useful ONLY for table faro. What other use is there for this? My double-lifts/palms/springs/flourishes don't improve from the cut. What is the hype?
