I like to try new decks I'm not familiar with from time to time, and with the price of these I couldn't resist. If you typically favor Tallys or Bikes these may not be for you; they have an aged, yellowed look, and I thought the small indices were going to drive me crazy. But there's something about the feel of these cards I really enjoy, and they seem to hold up pretty well. I know (and mostly agree with) the idea that using cards that laypeople aren't familiar with can really scream "magic," but my highly-observational but magic-lovin' wife really likes these for some reason and mentions it every time I bring them out. Definitely worth a try for the price.

These cards are loaded with character and handle great. Perfect for gambling routines. Often, vintage looking cards don't handle very well, but Texans have a really sweet feel. I'm tempted to keep my thoughts to myself so that they don't get gobbled up.

I like these cards.I am buying more.I hope penquin keeps supplying them.I feel they are the best buy.THe numbers are a bit small but they have a very mature classic grown up look to them.THey on the yellowish side to imply an aged 19th century look and the jokers are fast riding cowboys on horses.The court cards are more ornant then the court cards of bicycles cards.I am getting more of these cars.Oh, they also have a nice feel as well.For the price these cards are the best
