Is Faded Spade trying too hard?

First time seeing these I like the look but the whole “limited run” just seems like more overhyping.
I don’t know what criteria the general public uses when buying cards.
Does the general public even buy $25 plastic setups?
I dunno. From what I see here, I’d guess that PCFers criteria would go something like this:
Card size
Pip size
Stock feel (stiff/flexy, texture/smooth)
Back color
Back design
Faces

I'm almost embarrassed to say we're from the same home town!
Of course they're trying to hard, but, if they weren't we'd be on here slamming them for not trying hard enough. Now that you've shamed them I feel I need to go to their website and check in with them, see how they're doing. Maybe pick up a couple more setups to try and comfort them.

My buddy has the 1.0s and I can't stand them. I skipped the 2.0s and bought the 3.0s to see if the hype and "changes" that they made were worth a damn. Now 3.0s with a smaller index as a limited run gimmick?! Come on now?!?!
These have been in casinos already. Resorts World had these since at least last July. I didn't like them as much as their unique faces since everyone else is already doing this design with more flexible stock.

Well, I'm ready to jump on the shaming wagon, the discount code BIGBET isn't valid any longer.

Live at the Bike enjoyer exposed!!
I have a couple 2.0 decks (I used to have 4), and two of them have had cards split apart. Faded Spade has terrible customer service and refused to replace the decks, so I'm gonna stay far away from any of their products for the foreseeable future.
That's good to know, thanks.
I think there are several, including me, that have experienced this. Problem is, these are my group’s favorite cards.

The appeal/draw was their unique font. At least for me.
This classic font is boring.

Is their site overloaded or am I the only one having issues when I click on the link in the email to take a closer look at them?

They're limited run, does it matter?!?!?!?

Because faded spade has always been sizzle over substance.
And you know what? Screw them with “old school.” Those cards are normal looking. They want to convey that just because they’ve been pushing their weirdo looking cards onto streams for a few years, that that’s the new normal? And anything looking like a bicycle must be your granddad’s cribbage cards? Eff off faded spade, you shark jumpers!

Hate to hear about the customer service and splitting.
Like others said, I love the texture and the unique color/faces, these are boring.

I feel this in my soul. I'm intrigued by Faded Spade only because of their unique card fonts and face artwork. I find the back designs tacky and uninspired and their customer service from accounts here sucks. Zero interest in these and I sold all of my V3's that I bought.

I am a big fan of the FS v3 cards. I haven’t had any issues with the cards and they feel great. Players at my last game actually said how much they like the new cards which is rare for them to notice anything lol
That’s nice. Spend thousands and thousands on clay chips but what they notice are those over hyped card board like pieces of shit cards. (I’m ok, feels better now)

I'm loving the feel and playability of the 3.0. I had heard too many negative things previously and had stayed away, figured 3rd time might be a charm. Hate to hear about the customer service. The 3.0 is near the top of the list of my favorites right now.

That's a pretty phat slogan. Takes me right back to the 90s when things were wicked and we used to get jiggy wit it. Talk to the hand cause I'm bouncing.
