I like the looks of them. For the rich and the famous. #cgg
Any person who likes card would really appreciate these gold coated cards. I certainly do. Just wondering if they rub off on your hands and fingers.
Gold will get rubbed off of the gold-plated cards… no matter how thin the layer is, it’s a waste of valuable gold to play with these… otherwise they look good as “collector’s item”.
