Haha you made me lol. You've just gotta understand. Their not much worse than any T11 deck, so why not just buy 1 for the sake of it. For 8$, these look cool. I mean, I would rather have a brick of bikes than 1 of these, but they are fun, and having one seems fun, especially to make fun of and see all the weeknesses.

...thus further convincing Merz67 that his designs are actually in demand, encouraging him to make more!  It's a vicious cycle.  Please, step into the light - it's not too late!  :))

Everytime I see a new Merz deck my brain hurts! I think he is randomly selecting objects and animals as deck subjects and then matching them up with an online random generator....next deck....the Lawnmower deck with a clip art IceCream cone Joker and Wiley Coyote on the Ace of Spades!

Nah, never Wile E. Coyote - but a good look-alike that doesn't infringe on trademarks and copyrights, perhaps!  He would never use artwork that he'd actually have to PAY someone for...

I probably will then they're down to <$10 per deck.
Just so everyone knows, the Tiger deck went for $27.

And merz's listed it as a BIN item:

To those of you who actually want to buy them, well - I hope you enjoy them.  I know that I never could.

I'm glad that I'm not locked into a state of mind that tells me I must buy each and every deck with the name brand "Bicycle" on it.  Or any particular deck, for that matter, especially ones that I don't really like, just because of the brand name on them.

So far me, CBJ and Zero. I think but may be mistaken that Aaron also wanted to buy some after the price drop.
Does any one know if he is officially doing an "animal series"?

I know I shouldn't fuel the Merz fire.. but when he has released 18 Bicycle decks over the last year, and I only have 1 one of them... it's hard to ignore.

That's like being an Amazing Spider-Man comic collector, and skipping some issues because a different artist/writer that you really don't like took over for an 18 issue story arc. There would be a massive hole in your collection.

I take the good with the bad... the Diavoli decks.. some of the magicMakers decks (spider).. some of the Karnival decks,  etc..

I just can't leave out 17 decks out of a Bicycle collection.

I know... I'm obsessed

As long as it makes you happy, isn't illegal and doesn't drive you to poverty, well...enjoy!


Now I have a new career model - create unique, rare Bicycle decks just to get people like you to buy them from me!
