Left handed only playing cards/Reversed cards

Postby AnonymousZC » Oct 14th, '08, 12:08



I have been on the hunt, for...well...ever.. for a left handed 'only' deck of cards.

Now I am sure people know what I mean by left handed cards, but for those that dont;
Left handed cards have the numbers on the top right, and bottom left corner.

Unfortuantly, left handed decks also have the numbers on the top left hand corner and bottom right hand corner. This makes it a left and right handed deck.

I am after a deck that only has the numbers on the top right and bottom left corner. Making it a deck that can be used at ease for a left handed person, but difficult for a right handed person. (Left handed people will understand how hard it is to play cards with right handed cards.)

The closest I have come to these decks, is a reversed face deck (or mirrored image). Unfortuantly this makes the number backwards.

I would be tempted with contacting a custom card maker, if it wasn't for that I would have to buy 100 decks straight off.

So, if anyone can help, or has seen these around, then I would be grateful.

Note: I am not left handed.

Since your not left handed, i can assume your looking for a deck that you can fan blank. well, waddingtons are single indicies, butyou will have to do a reverce fan in order to use them in this way, which is the usual thing to do.

If you do decide to get some printed, rest assured you will need to order more than 100, and they will probably cost a small fortune, because the whole face will have to be redesigned, not just the corners. :)

The cards discussed are the ones with numbers in all 4 corners. This is not what I am after. But thanks anyway.

I am not looking for a deck that will fan blank, otherwise I would just reverse the fan of a normal deck. I am looking for a deck that a left handed person could use, but a right handed person would have difficulty.
I have a left handed friend, and she always gets annoyed when we use bicycles (right handed only).


To clarify. I am looking for a deck of cards that have the numbers in the top right hand corner and bottom left hand corner. This is exactly what I want, nothing different.

I just don't think they exist.

If they do exist, the guys at The Card Collection might be able to get hold of them for you.
