Got six mint sealed Club Special Bee decks done for CARC in 2011 to trade.Something vintage, mint sealed preferred but will consider interesting modern. Let me know what you have to offer at

Just to clarify, you're talking about some of the cards that Bill Kalush custom-ordered from USPC with his own specifications as a test to improve card performance, right?  I have maybe three of his decks like that and they're very interesting to handle, not anything like USPC's standard output!

Or is this something else?

You are correct - these have the Smith back as pictured. They do handle so well even a bumbler like me can fan them.

Actually, that's not the same as I was thinking of.  I'll send you a longer reply in PM.

These are part of CARC's "Bee Erdnase" series of decks.  Smith Backs are nice - I think I have a pack at home.  The stock is exceptionally thick, and I don't believe Bill Kalush used Magic Finish for the CARC decks, with maybe one exception: the black and metallic silver Acorn Backs.
