I was interested in getting a pack of these, & after a few minutes of research, including checking out packs on Ebay as suggested, (going for stupid money) I found out the real story, via a Ebay seller warning of the scam.
Only 200 packs were produced & were not plastic coated. Most if not all the ones for auction on Ebay are therefore fake. Some of the blurbs read 'these are real playing cards', a true statement which can easily be misread.
One company, http://www.greatusaflags.com, is selling what they claim to be casino quality cards for $5-95 a pack, which seems reasonable.
Please note I am not associated with this company, I just don't want to see anyone on this site paying stupid money for these bloody things.
