Does is follow any major peg system?

I have their ESP cards, the quality was pretty low. Cheap cardboard, not playing card material. So I believe this set will be the same.
Very reluctant to get this.


It does not follow any peg system that I'm aware of. The images are illustrations of common everyday objects that were created specifically for these cards. As to the quality, they are heavy cardboard stock, but I wouldn't call them cheap. Yes, they do not handle AT ALL like playing cards, which is a virtue. When using these, you aren't going to shuffle or handle them in any way reminiscent of playing cards. They have a very different "feel"--both physically and psychologically.

If you have any reservations at all, then by all means take a hard pass. I'm not trying to convince anyone. Just pointing out something that has worked out very well for me and was sharing the info with others that may be in a similar place on their journey.

IAIN - I have different results with card stock here in Florida.
And I don't booze it up when using cards.

ESP decks such as Beyond3 are excellent examples of what is possible.

I have search for flash cards based on a standard peg (IE Harry Lorayne), but have been unsuccessful.

Anyone have better results.

I can't seem to find the cards on the Paralabs site, where is this available?
