Thanks for the replies. I actually just discovered the other day that Bicycle is selling the classic boxes as 807 decks. That's cool - but I should have clarified. I like the actual Cincinnati decks in the original boxes. I agree with you - the stock feels nicer. I've been able to find some around town buried behind newer decks. I have found several 4 pack boxes that include 2 red "standard" decks from Kentucky, and two black rider back decks from Ohio in them. Yesterday I got really excited when I found one in a Walgreens that had all Ohio rider back decks in it. The red and blue Ohio decks are already almost impossible to find anywhere except from collectors online.
One of my questions is about a deck I found in Wal-Mart awhile back. It was the only one, and I haven't seen this deck anywhere else in any store, and I can't even find it online. It's a silver back Bicycle deck, with black and silver on the box. The back of the box has a card split in half diagonally - face and back. The front just says playing cards. The best part is the court cards - the art isn't reversible, only shows upright one way and it's a modern version of the classic courts. I love this deck, but I can't find anymore anywhere. I would also like to find other colors in this same series. Anybody know anything about these?
