Playing Card Plethora / Re: Soft, Flexible, & Readily Available

I have purchased a lot from pokerstud and other than being very slow on emails, I have found him to be reliable.

I have found that Daniel Madison cards are pretty flimsy and these:

or this:

http://www.ellusionist.com/swe-deck.html

They have the border and the price in bulk.  Others may chip in on the feel as some of his decks may be better for what you want than others.  He offers a few with borders.

The three colors, red blue and green all look much better.  I am not a fan of green, but your green looks intriguing.

Just one opinion, but I love the white deck aces.  The back and the face cards just leave me cold so I'll pass.

As I said, just one opinion so don't lose heart.

I agree.  Without a limit of 2 decks, they just anger good customers.  Not to mention, I have all the Madison decks I'll ever need until he does something actually different.

Kickstarter shows the projects you have bid on.  Have you checked there?

Thanks for the follow up.  It helps to hear from owners after the dust has settled as we guess at whether the decks will be good or bad.

At least they delivered.

Looks interesting, but I never buy a deck where they only show 3-4 cards.  Too many disappointments where the rest of the deck didn't follow through.

No Printer?  No Sale!  Refuse to answer the question?  I run away as fast as I can.

Now if they had put together a new copy of "Revelations" along with a deck, I might have been interested.

Really hard for me to be excited or get amped up when all I see is a tuck. Hopefully they'll show a card back sometime soon and we can see a little more.

Agreed.

And just so you know, maybe I am getting old and crabby, but "coming soon" does nothing for me but annoy.  I want one announcement, one click through, one look to see if I am interested.  If I have to come back, it is old and boring and already has one strike against.

Like an entirely different deck.  Thumbs up.

A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Re: Bicycle 808 #9 Deck.
« on: August 12, 2015, 02:49:28 PM »
For anyone interested, the deck is available exclusively at Target.  It is in brown or green even though the deck it is to commemorate was red and blue.  Adding to the fun, I have the deck and while a card inside refers to the #9 deck which was never printed, they have chosen to use as the back, Autobike #3 which was printed from 1907-1917, again in red and blue, rather than the correct Autobike #2.

It is an interesting deck, Target calls it the Bicycle Retro Playing Cards Brown Deck and according to Bicycle, they are shipped both green and brown even though their system only shows brown.   The box is embossed and not glossy at all with more of an old fashioned matte finish.  Also, the seal is a retro style 5 cent tax stamp.  The cards are white not buff colored.

Thanks, missed the link on my tablet.  The replica deck actually has the Autobike #3 back and is done in brown.

This helps a lot.

I can't find any links to Autobike 2 or Jim Knapp.  Can you provide his link?

Thanks, that sounds like what I am after as it is Bicycle not Tally Ho.

I have seen a passing reference to a USPCC  deck that was introduced in 1906 and discontinued in 1913 labeled #9.  Apparently, no one has ever seen any of these decks.  Can anyone point me to a source for more information on this deck?

I have searched the web and my copy of Hochman and I find nothing.

Thanks.  Thanks for moving.

Very different deck.  Hard to see this getting broad appeal.

Interesting cards, but the shipping runs more than the deck.

Michael Scott has posted that he would like to hear from backers on what to put on the 3 extra cards that he plans to include in the decks.

My expertise is limited so I would appreciate it if people here would give some input.  The project is barely $1200 away from funding and it looks like one of the most interesting projects I will be getting this year.

Thanks

(2) The card stock and coating still sucks -- card is not durable at all, and when riffle shuffling, it feels like using a little more than a soft grip will cause nasty crimps.


I don't know if this is true throughout, but the hand full of Madison decks I have all are very thin.  One of my Dealers decks crimped a card after a shuffle, a riffle, and a cut.  I can now cut to the king of spades whenever I want.

Pretty to look at; not for everyday use at all.
