Those are some really interesting points above!
I hadn't thought about the differences in playing vs tarot/trading cards, but it makes sense that playing cards need to shuffle easily and stand up well to wear, and that registration matters a lot. A crease or color fleck chip or slight registration issue on the back of a card adds character to a Tarot or Oracle deck. But in a game of poker, it could give away the game.
And thanks for the info on why black core stock matters... I'd have never thought of that!
