The Flesh-Colored "Good Night" Deck King of Diamonds

My Good Night card arrived in the mail and I was surprised and pleased to see that it was a flesh-colored King of Diamonds as I've taken a liking to the imbued Face Cards. Surprised because I prefer not to know which card I am getting as it then serves as a sort of mini cartomancy reading for the day. King of Diamonds, Nine of Hearts and a Joker are my three card spread as they all came together in a post from England. Whatever that portends to will have to be determined later as I'm off for work shortly.

I have mixed emotions on the matter since I'm not inclined to open a sealed pack and even if the shrinkwrap isn't original the stamp seems to be as it was when issued. The cards apparently look something like these .
