Topic: Do they make non-standard double-face decks?

I think I may have thought of a card routine that requires double-faced cards that aren't to be found in the standard deck, namely picture cards with non-picture-cards on the other side. Does anyone know if non-standard decks of double-facers are available? I'd like to avoid (the expense of) having the cards custom made if possible.

Thanks in advance for any help that might be provided with this.

Alibaba,
If I'm understanding you right, the Phoenix gaff deck
(link at http://www.card-shark.de/index.cfm?page=79&lang=en&detail=true&Category=13&ArtID=112)
may have some of what you need. It lists:

"26 Double-Faced cards, that finally make sense. The prints are paired like an Invisible Deck, so 26 cards can cover all values in a deck, with half the thickness. "

For instance, looking at the cards I have, there is the 2S with JH on the 'back'; the AS has the QH on the other side. Others are JS/2H, QS/AH, AC/QD, 2C/JD,JC/2D, QC/AD. The Kings have Kings on the other side. -(

So that's not too many of what you're asking about; maybe it's enough?

Hope this info helps!
