Formed in 1965, the Grateful Dead became a cultural institution that has spanned over half a century. Fusing rock and roll, folk, and jazz with avant-garde, visual, and literary traditions - they became one of the most popular, enduring, and influential bands in American history. The box packaging is printed using antique letterpress machines dating back to the 1960’s - with six layers of vibrant color, embossed for a unique tactile sensation.

Love the feel and the art of the cards, the only thing that doesn’t make them a 5 star item is the numbers are very hard to read clearly

These cards have beautiful graphics but it's very difficult to read what card it is. I think they could have done better by making the numbers bigger.

Box and Card paper are great quality (not flimsy). The designs on all the cards are soo frickin cool. Definitely better than I expected. Totally worth it.

El diseño es espectacular, aunque no seas fan de Grateful Dead su diseño en cada una de las cartas es muy vistoso. Muchos mazos de Theory11 solo tienen diseño en las cartas J, Q, K y el Joker, pero este es uno de los mazos que tiene un diseño diferente también en las cartas numéricas.
