This is the red "shell backed" version of an iconic deck of cards. This "jumbo" version of these playing cards have the larger corner index pips, and are, in my opinion, far superior to the "standard" version. For the collectors seeking the iconic Hoyle jester, he comes printed on a full sized joker card, the other joker being a simple "text and font" joker which reads "according to Hoyle". As a card collector, this is the reason I've given this deck four stars instead of five. The U.S. Playing Card Co. has never included two "full sized" Hoyle jester cards. They used to include a full sized jester joker and a guarantee jester joker. Now they include a full sized jester joker and the aforementioned "according to Hoyle" joker. This would be five stars if two full sized jesters were included, and a separate card (perhaps the "according to Hoyle" card) was used as the guarantee. For this reason, I always buy this deck two at a time, and I put the two "good" jokers together in one pack for my personal collection, and put the other two "boring" jokers that in the pack that goes on my dining room table where poker games and other such card game nights are held.
