Tally-Ho No. 9 1885 Replica Playing Cards

I love the vintage backs. The faces have chunky pips. The courts are also excellent vintage style. I would characterize them as transitioning from the older 1860s primitive style courts to the modern courts. Nice set of aces with a bold and stunning ace of spades. Deck comes with a double backer. You can also perform the "Tally-Ho" trick with this deck. It only has one joker - a slight minus.

When it comes to reproduction decks, it could be a hit or miss depending on how much they stay true to source material as well as how much you genuinely enjoy the overall design of the deck. This is an awesome deck that's branded with the Tally-Ho Brand. Next to Bicycle, I would think that Tally-Ho would be the next biggest brand under the USPCC umbrella. This deck absolutely gives off 1885 vibes, which makes it fit the theme very well. An awesome deck for any collection and could be used for themed gameplay!

I really like the style on this, the bigger pips and the fact that jokers are included (I use them in cartomancy) makes this reproduction deck better than some. Granted, they didn't always have jokers in older decks but one should be more inclusive to a market that may include someone who wants them (and those that don't can just take them out). But I digress. Nice old-fashioned feel, I liked these enough to purchase a backup deck.

There are a few replica decks out there that are just a no go for me. This one really hits some great design marks. The feel and the design look really nice.

I love everything Tally Ho. This replica was to be one step closer to completing my Tally collection.
