I've said it before, but the truth is, nobody will design the deck YOU want unless YOU design it yourself....and again, I encourage you to do so!!!

Only chiming in because actually do think this deck is incredible and the box set is hand made in the US and not outsourced. As a collector of playing cards for over 15 years, I purchased the box set and it will be going into my collection.

If we’re talking in general about a collector’s deck, rather than one mostly meant to be used for magic or card games, then saying that it has standard or repetitive courts or inconsistent style all seem like valid critiques to me. There are plenty of decks released on Kickstarter each month that don’t suffer from these or any other obvious major issues, and usually at least one which is fairly strong in every category. One doesn’t need to design a deck in order to get quality cards in their collection, and neither does one need to be a designer in order to comment on the perceived shortcomings of decks designed by others.

Regarding this particular box set, if the cardboard box itself is worth 150% the cost of the actual decks to you because its made in the US rather than elsewhere in the world, that’s a valid personal choice, but as others have implied, it seems more like a brazen cash grab to me, designed to make completionists feel like they’re missing something if they only purchase the decks and charging them through the nose to alleviate that feeling.

Yellow Submarine Playing Cards, $12.95 (3 for $36.91, 6 for $69.93)

Special edition playing cards inspired by the 1968 animated film.

Join Paul, John, George, and Ringo as they take a journey on a yellow submarine to Pepperland to save the music-loving inhabitants from the Blue Meanies! They stand no chance against the Fab Four’s groovy tunes.

Premium playing cards featuring fan-favorite characters and artwork from the iconic animated musical adventure. The decks are illustrated with remarkable details and colorful, vibrant imagery. “It’s all in the mind y’know!”

Dressed in the iconic style of Yellow Submarine, the boxes perfectly represent the character and life of both the film and album featuring the members of the band: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Featuring tactile embossing and deep black foil accents, these are some of the most vibrant, playful designs we’ve ever produced.

The box, the back design, and all card faces have been meticulously crafted to pay tribute to Yellow Submarine. Take a ride to Pepperland each time the cards are held in your hand and brought out for play; you’ll feel like you’ve become a part of the film!

Take a dive into the wonderful, whimsical world of Yellow Submarine and become a part of the experience that revolutionized the art of animation. The people of Pepperland will be glad you paid a visit - Chief Blue Meanie must be stopped!
