The BBCats Gold is on a thicker stock than any we've used so far. But a different supplier - so we will see how it actually comes out!
Look forward to purchasing these cards baba - and you are one who keeps as eye on such things, as Im sure other consciencious businesses do.
Im not sure the reason behind this new wave of card stock - possibly it wont be around for long, and possibly it was a massive warehouse batch that is also very disappointing to not only the publishers, but a few people concerned with the production. A amnufacturer maybe having to get rid of this cards stock somehow ... and somewhere along the line it has been picked up by card makers.
I understand that once there are 5000 printed decks sitting waiting for shipping with pre-orders and a time constraint, and budget to look after, sometimes theres nothing more that can be done but to ship them out ...
Maybe in 25years time, these flimsy decks will become the dreaded collectables. LOL!! The remnants of a time when Tarot production went down the tube for a while Until Tarot users rallied, and got their standard back. Ok - Im dreaming here because I bought some
