[PUZZLE] Playing Card Suits on Cards Some people have been noticing that a some cards have playing card number and suits in the corner. I've noticed a few on my cards so thought it may be a good idea to have a thread to collate our data. On some of the cards they are actually pretty hard to spot, I only noticed most of them just now when I was looking for it in particular.

Edit I just noticed all the cards I have with greyed areas are also the ones with card deck numbers and symbols. This the same with yours

That seems to be where this is going, but damn is that one complex puzzle. Are all the silvers going to turn out to be this involved?

To say the Silvers are going to be tough to solve is an understatement

...thinking that this may be something to do with the solitaire cipher on the silver shuffled card, maybe once we get em all, the words on the cards will match up like a jigsaw and give us the deck order. and maybe the words themselves will be a message or key or something?

I've just noticed something peculiar, although it may simply be a coincidence. Take a look at http://wiki.incognitus.net/ppc/index.php/Playing_card_symbols -- what is immediately noticeable is that all the playing-card, uh, cards are odd. What may not be readily visible is that every single one of them is a prime number. (243 itself isn't; it's 3*3*3*3*3.)

If I remember correctly, those two cards were both special in the fact they were released unconventionally (333, E3, etc) so they may have been prototype versions without a symbol. If anyone has these cards from the actual packs, then have a check and let us know!
