Bicycle Premier Back?

[hazofhorsham]

I love these cards, how many of you have a deck?

[Robert Butler]

I seriously don't like them.  So that's a negative for me.  I don't own them.

[John B.]

can you post pictures? i am not for sure what deck you are talking about.

[dmbaggs]

Yeah I don't have any of them either. You should put some pictures up in the main post so people can have a visual (for those who don't know what they are).

[hazofhorsham]

Edited to have a picture.

[John B.]

yea i dont have any, and with that back i wont be, not my style.

[dmbaggs]

I really like that back design, but not in those colors. If they had a blue and silver back I would for sure grab some of these. The colors that they used just don't have any "wow factor".

How many decks do you have hazofhorsham?

[hazofhorsham]

I have 3 decks, the thing that really does it for me is the front of the cards have metallic ink, and if you see them they look godly :L

EDIT: I will post pictures later on...

Looks interesting. Are the black pips an off grey color?

Yeah I love that about the Fantastique deck!! The backs are awesome but the rest is standard; however, the metallic ink on the court cards makes them look stunning!! Overall a really nice deck in my opinion. Sometimes that metallic ink can work wonders

[hazofhorsham]

I will concede the back design is a little... ermish. But there decks were only produced in a run of 2000, and the fronts are amazing so its a must for me

[Evan]

I don't have them and I don't plan on getting any. I don't like the design at all and the colors don't really go well together.

Have the deck... Don't appreciate the Advertising printed right on the box... I truly can't stand when the producer does that... yeah, we get it... You produced the deck, put your name on the bottom like most everyone else...

I've got a deck of it. It's produced by Mike (bmpokerworld, the eBay seller).

hmm, looks like the black pips are replaced my light orange ones from the picture (You can see the ace of clubs on the right), the back doesnt look appealing to me those it does look classy even without metallic ink (Though metallic ink would go with this deck, I can imagine!) mmm standard pips and cards, not for me..

The red pips are the same metallic crimson red as the Titanium decks from T11.  The black pips are metallic gold.

What I loved about this deck was that the deck faces were 100% metallic ink.  It wasn't over the top, and it didn't need custom court cards - the added shine from the ink made them seem as if they were custom while still being familiar.  OK, so the back could have been better - the design was kind of plain and boring - but it was OK as opposed to being weird or outlandish just for the sake of being different.  It didn't scream "LOOK AT ME, I'M A CUSTOM DECK, YOU CAN TELL BY MY CARD BACKS, SEE?!?"  If I dropped a deck of Infinities or Dose or some other wildly custom back design on a table at a seniors' home, they probably wouldn't touch it.  If I dropped a pack of Premier instead, they'd be playing rummy and poker pretty quickly.

The one thing about Titaniums that always bugged me was that the red cards were all nice and shiny, while the black cards were just - well, BLACK.  You almost could have swapped in a non-metallic version of the same card from a basic version of the deck.  The Premier deck had a fully-metallic design, something done before only in the Gargoyle deck, but with two distinct and easily-distinguished colors.

This deck was one of my favorite releases of last year.
