I wouldn't really call those jokers at all, it's just artwork on two cards. Not that it's a bad thing, but jokers they are not.

But you will definitely be able to tell if its in the deck or not by slightly shifting the stack of cards of a deck diagonally to one side or the other and reading the edges.
Thanks!

I agree. But do this deck is a 56 cards deck with 2 jokers and 2 diptych "jokers" as the extra cards, or a 54 cards deck with only the diptych? Because, I'm new to this, but I think that LPCC makes 54 cards decks? And the uncut sheet doesn't show the 2 extra cards.

54 cards on a sheet with Expert or Legends. You can of course print 55, 56 (or more, I suppose) by using another sheet to print 54 or 27 duplicate cards.

It was a perfectly placed joke, Magikfingerz. I tried to make my reply drip with sarcasm. It was funny, I can hear that guy saying it too, I just don't remember what movie it's from.

Always a pleasure, Ade! Sweet decks...

I don't think I ever pointed out that Black Book of Cards said my card is "Three of Clubs", did I? ;)

I'm glad I got the two deck collector set, it'll be my first box set and it was a great deal.

Very nice Limited Edition.
Did not buy in KS, to many decks at that time.

Anyone knows a discount code that I can put for the Pre-Order? :D
