Bicycle Neptune’s Graveyard v2 Spectral Edition Ships & Sirens Playing Cards

These decks of cards by Bicycle are, simply put, beautiful. The color palettes involved are intriguing and mystical. The artwork is lots of light pen work and shows this on each face card. The font of the series is unique. Even the layout of odd numbered cards is unique!Not only are they unique and beautiful, they shuffle like the well-worn decks of cards that have been around for years. The card stock used is a bit thinner and also softer than standard. They're still slippery, but not so much that they shuffle themselves into the air when new. The feel just as durable as every Bicycle card that I have encountered.A unique Easter egg with these cards is that each deck has what is called "gap cards". Gap cards aren't around much these days, so encountering them was surprising and almost scary. Each deck starts off with the Jokers, but right after them are two cards that stand out because they are deliberate misprints. One card has the artwork on the back of the card on both sides; the other has unmatched numbers on both sides. The gap cards with numbers are different with every series.

Always great cards and these won’t let you down, great design great quality very appealing art work!! Happy with these nice cards

Bicycle is the modern standard for playing card quality. I can't imagine they'd offer a product below that standard. Whether you like the artwork or not is personal taste but these are Bicycle playing cards at a fair value. They've done some incredible artwork these last few years. It's totally unnecessary to buy new decks all the time but there are so many to buy. They've done an amazing job of turning this basic family staple into a collectible. These have the same great finish as their Standard deck. They are the same thickness and seem identical in manufacturing (while there are some premium decks that perform even better than these for various things).This design isn't quite as easy to read as the Standard deck. I've attached a photo of these side by side to show you. If readability is the most important thing, keep looking. If pirates and skeletons and nautical nonsense is something you wish, these are the right cards for you.

I just received my two decks of Bicycle Neptune playing cards and I'm blown away by the quality and design. These cards are absolutely gorgeous!**What I Love:**The Neptune theme is beautifully executed throughout both decks. TThe card backs feature intricate designs that remind me of swirling ocean currents and underwater kingdoms.The cards have that classic Bicycle feel with the smooth finish that shuffles and deals perfectly. They're not too thick or thin, just the right weight for comfortable handling during long card games.Both decks came in pristine condition, well-packaged and protected. Having two decks is perfect for games that require multiple decks or just having a backup when one deck gets worn from heavy use.**Performance:**These shuffle like a dream! The cards glide smoothly whether you're doing a riffle shuffle, bridge, or just mixing them casually. No sticking or clumping, which is exactly what I expect from the Bicycle brand. Perfect for poker night, family game time, or even card magic if that's your thing. They are of course the standard size, exactly what you'd expect.**Bottom Line:**If you're looking for playing cards that combine beautiful artwork with reliable performance, these Neptune-themed Bicycle cards are an excellent choice. The ocean theme is sophisticated without being overwhelming, and the quality is top-notch. I'll definitely be ordering more themed Bicycle decks in the future!**Highly recommend for:** Card game enthusiasts, collectors, anyone who appreciates beautiful design, or as a unique gift for the card player in your life.

Nice set of playing cards. Normal playing card stock. Images are very nice.
