Surely you jest! On AT 'everyone' will never 'admit' to any one thing!!! And I personally still think the BG Silver is the best of the metallically enhanced decks.Y'all must admit that they got it down with the Alice tarot....

I would love to see the Bohemian Gothic silver in real life.... The people who have said its just magical... One day I'm sure...
Well, although it was my deck of choice for a long time and I loved reading with it, the size of the cards was too big for my hands and the card stock on both the VR Gold decks I had turned into floppy, limp things that were very unsatisfactory for shuffling. It was like trying to shuffle heavy fabric or something. On the other hand, I had both the BG regular and the BG silver and the card stock held up wonderfully on those. Karen said it was the same card stock used, but I don't see how it could have been.
My regret is that Baba Studios decks get snapped up in a feeding frenzy by those who can afford to buy a bunch of them at a time, to then reap sales of three figures or more when by rights, Baba Studios is the one who deserves at least some of the extra money, in my never so humble opinion. I've always felt that when people do that and make money hand over fist for their extra copies, they should, by all that's just and decent, give at least a percentage back to Baba Studios.
I realize I'm probably making some other members mad. I love them all, but I've still got my opinions for better or worse, but only in the spirit that I'd just clear my throat and glare at a kid getting extra desserts for supposed friends and then eating them all themselves. lol
That's actually not a bad description of the VR Gold stock, I think. But the closest I can come up with is another Baba first edition. Those old Baba decks that I have been lucky enough to touch --1st eds VR, BG, BBC, and (only edition) Fairytale-- seem all to have the same or similar cardstock. It's silky and feels a bit worn even when new.

My first impression when shuffling the Fairytale is that they feel a bit 'naked'. It felt a bit like shuffling papers. I bought the deck pre-loved but un-used from what I have been told. So I take it to be the character of this particular card stock.
And I love the way you described the silver effect in the BGS. My VRG also feels a bit like that exquisite old gold shimmer is peeking from underneath, as if somehow comes from a deeper, more remote place than the rest of what you see.
