will we ever see uv-500 as a stock again, or is that gone forever?

Are all dimple finishes pretty much identical?

I'm not that good with cards and most cards to me in my opinion feel the same in terms of spreading. Blind folded I probably couldnt tell the difference between a standard bike or a split spades.

the dimples your refering to are call air cushion. There applied to most decks and the dimples themselves have no different adjustments available. Just one type. There applied to many stocks and finishes tho so it simply enhances the deck overall.

NOOOOO lol. why is that exactly? i read it was because the cost of the paper went up, but why did the cost go up? and is bee stock most like the uv-500 stock?

Robert Butler · « **Reply #32 on:** October 10, 2011, 12:08:07 AM »

The UV 500 is no longer used and was about to be thrown out at the time of the E deal was negotiated to use it. I'm sure it will never be used again but I'm not sure about the stock comparison so I'll add it to my questions I'll ask tomorrow.

So are all air cushion decks pretty much identical aside from the stock?

And are tally hos and bicycle pretty much the same stuff?

Robert Butler · « **Reply #34 on:** October 10, 2011, 12:10:55 AM »

Today there very much the same. But there are many other factors that can make a difference in two bicycle air cushion decks

How so? I am very curious as I really don't know what is behind the cards.

is the linoid finish actually a finish?

Robert Butler · « **Reply #37 on:** October 10, 2011, 12:36:06 AM »

Linoid was a finish for tally ho. Now they apply the standard Air Cushion finish to tally ho's. they didnt change the info on the box, to pay tribute to the classic aspects of the tally ho.

Just want to clear something up:

Traditional cut is a two-way faro i.e. Richard Turner's Bees

john · « **Reply #39 on:** October 10, 2011, 12:53:09 AM »

Because i haven't heard of "Richard Turner Bees" another traditional cut deck would be the bicycle dragon back playing cards.

Hey so what makes lets say streamlines spread better than dollar store smooth cards?

I am very curious as to why because the dollar no name brand cards cant spread at all

John B. · « **Reply #41 on:** October 10, 2011, 01:06:26 AM »

can someone point me somewhere to understand what these cuts mean.

Kanped · « **Reply #42 on:** October 10, 2011, 02:36:34 AM »

DO you know The Jill Deck (not USPCC, printed in Europe) and if so do you know what stock/finish it is and what else uses them?

john · « **Reply #43 on:** October 10, 2011, 11:32:36 PM »

What stock and finish do both Jaqk decks have?

Reylek · « **Reply #44 on:** October 27, 2011, 04:07:02 PM »

I don't know if the number posted (30,000) for the Crown Decks was a guess or if someone is feeding wrong info, but I can definitely say that if you were to combine the entire runs of Blue, Red, and Green Crowns, you still wouldn't be anywhere close to 30,000 decks.

Just say the number kevin.

Evan · « **Reply #46 on:** October 27, 2011, 04:12:56 PM »

Im guessing just a few thousand of each crown deck

This topic came back alive.
Glad because I could find it.
Now I have new question, how many fantastique decks are printed?

xela · « **Reply #48 on:** October 27, 2011, 07:43:20 PM »

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to lock this topic - since the answers being given away are false half the time and Robert is no longer an active user on the forums.

Robert Butler · « **Reply #49 on:** October 28, 2011, 02:59:43 AM »

Hey sorry guys. Didn't mean to let the old thread go. But perhaps this one can replace it since the admin thinks out of all the dead topics my old thread needed locking. Now the printing Buber questions will have to stop as there very difficult to determin but other than that I should be able to help you. Hopefully this thread won't get the De'vo touch as well.
