I like to collect cards, and this is certainly the best pack I've ever gotten (and on a whim, too)! They're a little late for my SCA persona, but I love using them for regular card games, or even just staring at the pictures for a while (my favourites are the Queen of Clubs and the Knave of Hearts, but all the people in the deck look beautiful. I keep drooling over the fabrics drawn, too). The cardstock is nice and sturdy and feels good in the hand, and the cards (while they take some getting used to, lacking printed numbers) have been a pleasure to use, and helped me play some nice games of Old Maid, Go Fish, and Snip Snap Snorem.
