Question about 60th Anniversary Playing Cards

[gottalovepluto]

Can anyone help me with how to play games with these? Anyone else buy them? I was SO excited about these playing cards when I bought them online and now I could cry. They came in the mail today and they are practically impossible to read. If I hold them at exactly the right angle I'm fine but when I move my hand or put the cards down on the table to play solitaire the numbers and drawings disappear in a blob of silver. Does anybody have any tips on how to play with these specific cards?

I rather imagine these were meant to collectibles only. Not really something to play with. Sounds like you'd need some sort of angled table (with a non slip surface) to actually use them.

Oh holy cow. Just googled a picture. Seems nearly impossible to actually use!

Yeah. I just thought it was a bad pic on the Disney Store website and when I googled it the picture that popped up made them seem totally usable. Now I realize they got that picture using some serious camera flash.

Yeah, they are surprisingly high quality but alas throwing them in a drawer as a collectible may be all they're good for. I'm gonna keep trying for little bit, maybe if the sun is at the exact right angle on certain days of the year they're usable...
