Some of the cards have faint playing card symbols on. It was been speculated on [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11528&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30 Unfiction] that these may be a deck order for a solitaire cipher appearing on [[Shuffled]], [http://perplexcitycardcatalog.com/view.php?item=243 Card 243], but this appears to have been discredited. Each card with a playing symbol also has part of a letter faintly printed over the card in a slab-serif font, and it's anticipated that arranging all the playing symbol cards in order will eventually depict the whole message. So far, all symbols appear on cards with prime numbers, so this list will reflect that, until proven otherwise.

Card cat title.jpg Please see Brian Enigma's impressive Card Catalog for a sorted, comprehensive listing of cards.


General

Some of the cards have faint playing card symbols on. It was been speculated on Unfiction that these may be a deck order for a solitaire cipher appearing on Season 1 Card #243 - Shuffled (See: Shuffled) but this appears to have been discredited. Each card with a playing symbol also has part of a letter faintly printed over the card in a slab-serif font, and it's anticipated that arranging all the playing symbol cards in order will eventually depict the whole message. So far, all symbols appear on cards with prime numbers, so this list will reflect that, until proven otherwise.

A chart showing cards in order:

Note the groupings of playing card symbols goes Club-Diamond-Heart-Spade, from Ace to 2 (ace high), forming 13 sets of 3 letters.

Other notes:

  • Don't trust the black colouring 100% in the card catalogue - there may be a couple of cards that don't match by that alone - the original card should be re-checked to ensure accuracy of the black colourings.
  • Cards aren't necessarily evenly cut down or across the middle of each letter, making calculating possibilities difficult.
  • The font used is a simple thick seriffed font.
