Fig. 25 Playing Cards is a detailed tribute to Erdnase and the infamous Expert at the Card Table book. Not only do the decks include illustrations from the book, each deck is uniquely wrapped to look like a mini replica Expert at the Card Table book.

The cards themselves are elegant, having custom back designs with METALLIC inks.

Why are they called Fig. 25?

S.W. Erdnase stated that the most important "artifice" one could master with a deck of playing cards is the bottom deal. The M.D. Smith illustration for this invaluable lesson is fig. 25.

The Back Design

Fig. 25 illustration is tastefully incorporated into the back design. The floral back design frames the illustration with acorns, a symbol from the book's original 1902 cover.

Card Stock and Finish

The cards are printed on the highest quality Bee card stock as is used by casinos around the world.

Traditional Cut

The deck is cut using the "Traditional" cut method made famous by Richard Turner. This is the method preferred by professionals for the precise handling and shuffling of the cards.

Custom Jokers and Ace of Spades

The custom Jokers use imagery from the deck's floral back design, along with two of the most popular and famous quotes from the book (one of them regarding the bottom deal's importance).

The Ace of Spades: The shape of the "Spade" is modeled after the Ace of Spades from the "Bicycle Spectrum Playing Deck," which is also the Logo for the Spectrum Playing Cards LLC.

The Ace also contains copyright information and the company name using actual typeface from the Expert at the Card Table book.

The Faces

The original intention was to place the various illustrations by The M.D. Smith throughout the deck until Mark Calabrese, an Erdnase aficionado as well as a highly skilled sleight of hand artist, had a brilliant idea:

Imagine cutting the shape of a card directly from the pages of the book... and then printing each page on EVERY card! GENIUS!

The result is the most detailed and TRUE TRIBUTE DECK to Erdnase, EVER designed!

EACH page was scanned at high resolution, carefully placed for aesthetics, one card at a time, and then meticulously lightened and colorized in a sepia tone to balance out the contrast of the image.

Great
Color: 1 Pro White
This new pro-level paddle is an absolute revelation, truly earning its five-star rating. My control instantly improved; dinks became effortless and drops landed precisely where I aimed them. The textured surface generates incredible spin, allowing for shots with wicked curve and dive. Power is readily available, transforming drives into piercing rockets across the court. Even during extended rallies, its balanced feel and quick handling keep me agile at the net. The sweet spot is incredibly generous, providing surprising forgiveness on less-than-perfect contact. It feels remarkably durable, shrugging off aggressive play without a scratch. This paddle doesn't just play well; it feels like a natural extension of my own hand, elevating my entire game. Seriously, if you're looking to upgrade your performance, this is the paddle you need.

I got this pickleball paddle set for my husband and I to try and learn how to play this new popular sport. My first impressions of the rackets are they have a nice, solid feel to them but without feeling heavy. So solid yet lightweight would be an accurate description I think. After playing several rounds with my husband the grip still felt comfortable. Oh and I like the sling bag that comes with it. The bag is big enough to hold all the pickleball essentials. I noticed when we were practicing that the rackets seem to be responsive and easy to control. The rackets are constructed of fiberglass and polypropylene and I have not noticed any issues with them so far everything is intact just like new. It also comes with a few balls to get started. I would compare them to whiffle balls as they are very similar in shape and size. I am happy with my purchase of this outdoor pickleball set. It is a good value for the price, and a good starting point for beginners.

Love them
Color: Sunrise
Love the color of these and they’re great quality. Got as a gift for my niece who had expressed interest in starting to play pickleball so really loved the design of this set. Thought they are very reasonably priced for the high build quality and she's commented on how lightweight the rackets are yet very strong. Think this is a great stater set and would recommend.

Good quality at a great price!
Color: Blue
The box included everything mentioned. The Paddle feel light, and has enough power to smash. The grip is very comfortable too. The included "outdoor balls" feel lighter than what I'm used to, but worked well on a windy day. Great for beginners. It would make an excellent gift for a novice or intermediate player.
