No. Because each cardholder is handmade and fabric patterns vary, the placement of images and designs may differ slightly from the photographs shown.

Do Grippers help people with arthritis or hand weakness?
Many customers tell me that Grippers make card playing easier and more comfortable by eliminating the need to constantly hold a fan of cards. While I cannot make medical claims, many customers with arthritis, hand fatigue, or reduced grip strength have told me the Gripper makes playing cards more comfortable.
