crap.
glad I ordered the vintage deck when I did though.
Unbelievable that they could be sold out so fast. I don't get it.

I don't get it either... someone posted on the Ana Cortez facebook page that her new deck order had been cancelled by US Games... as yet no reply/comment from Ana. I was hoping Ana would be selling the new decks; she's removed the purchase link for the vintage PCO deck and only lists the book.
In regard to those looking for interesting playing cards....recently I began searching for a lovely deck created by Ukranian artist Vladislav Erko - I contacted a Ukranian museum here in Canada, who put me in touch with a Ukranian online store located in Motnreal, who then ordered the decks - I have bought 2. They are lovely, the Kings, Queens and Jacks are all taken from Cossack historic archetypes - you can order them here: http://www.yevshan.com/main.asp?cid=1093 it is called the Taras Bulba deck.
They are stunning! Here is a better view (and I hope the store got it right! ) though I spoke to the buyer for the store on the phone, and she assured me they were the same (very hard to get) deck. http://www.amusingplanet.com/2010/09/artistic-playing-cards-by-vladislav.html
My gosh, they are beautiful! But the picture on the first link, the few cards they show - they look different than the ones in the 2nd link...don't you think?
Reminds me a tiny bit of the Jane Lyle deck, which I really want.
They are really stunning, especially for double ended court cards.
Reminds me a little of the Tarocchi di Alan by A.Orell.
