Bicycle Playing Cards, Limited Edition Series


Guess what? Yes another new deck on the market and its WHITE & BLACK ! OK, so I still wish someone would print something with color but here goes. This new deck is the 1st in a series of 10 that will be produced by The United States Playing Card Company under its "Limited Edition" title. That in itself will have some great collectivity and lets hope they actually make all 10 decks unlike the "Vintage Design" Series they put out and only made 6 out of 12 decks? This deck is a standard "Bicycle"deck but with a white back and art work similar to a "Poker Peek" I must say the part of the deck I like best is the box, the 3 color design Black, Gold and White is eye catching and looks great among the standard 2 color designs of most decks. The ad card inside the box claims that this deck will only be available for a limited time. For a collector that would be prize, because as a performer there is not to much exciting about this deck, Standard "bicycle deck" different back and I can think of many other decks that fall into this group that the back design in more attractive. But if you collect cards like I do you will want it, and lets wait and see how they handle the next 9 decks in the series? The real good news is for a deck that is the first deck in a series and is on a limited time frame, it sure is affordable.
My overall rating if I consider a standard bike deck a 5 then this is a 6, but that could go much higher on the collectors side ... we will see what the future brings my advice, Get this deck now while they are easy to find and cheap!
