  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

I think this guy might be in a contest with Bill Merz to create the most Bicycle-branded designs...if only quantity also equated directly rather than inversely to quality.  You guys might enjoy this design, but it's not for me.

I originally picked one of these up for my cousin who loved a cartoon movie with a circus and a tiger in it. I still don't remember the name of the animated flick, not by bag. Decided I needed one for myself as well. The spades just make me smile all meowing opera.  ;D
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Two problems with what I see here.
Firstly,  correct me if im wrong but thats a tiger not a panther. The name implies panthers but im no zoologist and Panthera may well be a part of the scientific name of a tiger.

Second, the box seems kind of gawdy with the tiger fur on the sides. Brings to mind a cheap knock off tiger pelt or rug.

Yes, you are correct that is a Tiger print, not a panther StirCrazy. It is funny I only noticed this because you pointed this out.
Not for me.

Panthera includes Lions, Tigers, Leopards and Jaguars. Panther usually means Jaguar or Cougar (which is really a Puma).

Of course they would pick a name that includes four different kinds of big cats, which would be perfect with four suits, and then they only use one of them.

That's a good idea Ben. Maybe someone should suggest that to the creator of this deck. That and a new tuck box that doesn't resemble a throw rug.   ???

I'm trying to be a good moderator. That's all I'm saying about this deck.  ::)
