Talisman is a Spectral card that allows the player to set the seal on 1 selected card in hand to a Gold Seal (Earn {{money|3}} when this card is played and scores Gold Seal.png).

• Talisman can overwrite an existing seal on a playing card.

• It is recommended to put Gold Seals on cards intended to be played often, and cards that can naturally be retriggered by certain Jokers, like face cards for Sock and Buskin (Retrigger all played {{hl|orange|face}} cards Play a total of {{hl|orange|300}} face cards Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Sock and Buskin.png) or 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s for Hack (Retrigger each played {{hl|orange|2}}, {{hl|orange|3}}, {{hl|orange|4}}, or {{hl|orange|5}} Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Hack.png).
• It is always a good idea to play a Gold Seal card, even if it doesn't contribute much to the score, if the player has spare hands. Losing $1 for playing a hand and gaining at least $3 back is almost always a good trade-off.

• Hanging Chad (Retrigger {{hl|orange|first}} played card used in scoring {{hl|orange|2}} additional times Beat a Boss Blind with a {{ph|High Card}} Common Retrigger On Scored Hanging Chad.png) can retrigger a Gold Seal 2 additional times, providing an extra $6.
• Sock and Buskin (Retrigger all played {{hl|orange|face}} cards Play a total of {{hl|orange|300}} face cards Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Sock and Buskin.png) gives an extra $3 per played face card with a Gold Seal.
• Hack (Retrigger each played {{hl|orange|2}}, {{hl|orange|3}}, {{hl|orange|4}}, or {{hl|orange|5}} Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Hack.png) is similar to Sock and Buskin, but applies to 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s instead.
• Dusk (Retrigger all played cards in {{hl|orange|final hand}} of the round Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Dusk.png) gives extra money from all scored Gold Seals on the last hand of the round.
• Burglar (When [[Blind|{{hl|orange|Blind}}]] is selected, gain {{hl|blue|+3}} Hands and {{hl|orange|lose all discards}} Uncommon Effect On Blind Select Burglar.png) allows for more Gold Seals to be scored in a round.
• Economy-based scalers, such as Bull ({{Chips|+2}} for each {{$|1}} you have <br> {{currently|{{chips|+0}}}} Uncommon Chips Independent Bull.png), Bootstraps ({{Mult|+2}} for every {{Money|5}} you have <br> {{Currently|{{Mult|+0}}}} Have at least {{hl|orange|2}} {{hl|edition|Polychrome}} Jokers at the same time. Uncommon Additive Mult Independent Bootstraps.png), and Flash Card (This Joker gains {{Mult|+2}} per {{hl|orange|reroll}} in [[The Shop|the shop]] <br> {{Currently|{{mult|+0}}}} Uncommon Additive Mult Independent Flash Card.png), appreciate the extra money brought in by Gold Seals.

• Grabber (Permanently gain {{hl|blue|+1}} hand per round Base Grabber.png) and Nacho Tong (Permanently gain an additional {{hl|blue|+1}} hand per round Play a total of 2,500 cards Upgraded Nacho Tong.png) provide more opportunities to score Gold Seals.

• Stone Cards ({{chips|+50}}<br>no rank or suit Stone Card.png) with a Gold Seal can be added to any less than 5 card hand to easily earn $3.
• Lucky Cards ({{hl|green|1 in 5}} chance for {{mult|+20}}<br>{{hl|green|1 in 15}} chance to win {{money|20}} Lucky Card.png) with a Gold Seal will give $4.3 on average when played.

• Vagabond (Create a [[Tarot Cards|{{hl|purple|Tarot}}]] card if hand is played with {{Money|4}} or less Rare Effect Independent Vagabond.png) is harder to use as scoring a Gold Seal can bring the player over the $4 barrier, preventing the player from getting a Tarot card on the next hand.

• A "Talisman" is an ancient artifact that is said to bring magic powers, good luck, or riches to a person. This is evident in its ability to apply a Gold Seal to a card which gives $3 to the player once the card is scored.
