OK, so I got my decks from TCC today!
I couldn't pass up on the great price, so I picked up a few extras
So, here's my impression.
The pull tab is very easy to use and comes off clean. There is no seal to deal with (though that doesn't bother me that much as I like the art on the seals sometimes) and the tuck is very simplistic to go with the minimalist theme...nothing on the inside of the tuck, just white. The deck smells like my Draconians, so there is a good chance that it came from the same Taiwan factory. The courts are standard (didn't show a pic), the Jokers are slightly different (a plus for me as games I play here in China require different Jokers) and the Ace is custom. As I am not a magician or cardist, my comments on how they handle aren't worth much, but they do fan quite easily out of the box. The cards are traditionally cut and have a decent spring to them.
One thing I didn't like was the sides of the tucks, which were all pure white, so you can't differentiate between the six different decks when stacked back to back. I know it is a minimalist deck, but it would have been nice to have the tuck sides to have something that identified the deck as that is how I display most of my decks, so that the side is seen.
Overall, I am quite pleased with the purchase and look forward to seeing more decks from TCC
