Does anyone here know where to purchase BLANK Bicycle Jumbo decks? (or even single cards, if that is the case?)

Thanks!

Do you want to print something on it or should it stay blank? Just use glossy paper and use spray mount. But take bigger paper, let it stay over the edge of the playing card. After the spray dried, turn the card over and cut the edge with an exacto knife. The thick card material of the playing card is a good ruler so that you can cut very exact.

that's it.

Could you be more specific about the glossy paper? Where do you find it? Is there a certain brand that works best? How much does it usually run?

thanks!

I just looked for glossy paper that can be printed with a laser printer. Perhaps an inkjet will work for you too. You have to test it. Perhaps you go to Staples and take a Jumbo card with you.

;-) What do you want to hear?

Cardshark in handling with cards? No (not yet)
Cardshark in loving cards? Yes, absolutely!

I do all this stuff as a confession, in real life I am a webdesigner but also a marketing pro so every kind of printing, scanning, redesign, graphic arts, dealing with external suppliers, printing companies is absolutely familiar.

I run my own business since 10 years now, but the passion as a cardshark got me just one year before. I am sure you will hear more often from me as Card-Shark. ;-)

I love cards...
And I love creative magic!

If you only need a few, buy Twisted Sister in jumbo format. You get three blue backs and three red backs. It's a great trick to have also.

Fine sandpaper and clear varnish do work.

Yeah acetone but that would take the finish off of the card and it would have that papery feel.

I like the glossy paper idea.
