Back in the day, I had a deck of number cards. I think it was Fox Lake. It had one number on each card, 1-52. I think it had indexes of the number on opposit corners.

I am looking for one.

In the meantime, I contacted 2 companies that print custom cards. They charge 1-2 dollard per card! One deck would cost about $100 dollars to have custom printed. That is not worth it for one deck.

I can't believe none of the big companies have made these for retail to the gen. pop. Maybe lack of effects? The number cards out now are not correct for me. The deck I need must have one of each number, 1-52.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to those that helped. I was guided to 2 different decks. I ordered one of each. One was a bridge size. The other was a special deck for other tricks, but it should work for me.

With the hundreds and hundreds of different decks that are being made, I wish someone would mass produce number deck in Bikes. They make alphabet decks. Why not numbers.

One other suggestion. You could get a blank face deck and write the numbers. Use a broad-tip black marker and it could look really nice.

Thanks for the idea MeetMM. I have terrible writing. But I like the idea enough that maybe I can find a local artist to do it for me.

With a lot of patience and time one could use stencil set to put the numbers on.
I too have thought of having a numbered deck.

That is a great idea also. Maybe if enough of us want a number deck someone will mass produce them at a reasonable price.

I've found this thread to be really useful. Maybe they can put this thread in the permanent forum where it might help others?

Hello Acecardician,

The Piatnik ones are still available. For example:

https://www.showbizmagic.net/product/num......piatnik/

I've had several of these for a quarter century now. The quality is fine, but to tell you the truth I don't much care for the style of the figures.

If I only need 0 through 9, I prefer to use Uno cards, which look better to my eyes and are also commonly known by audiences.

Hi. T H. Thanks. Someone pm'd me that link and I called George. He is sending me a deck. I will use it until I find something better.

I was also given this link and bought one. https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S20942

I don't need the marks for what I want to do, but the deck seems to be what I need.

Thanks.
