This thread is the first time I have felt justified to use the following emoticon:

Seriously, what have you guys done to my brain?!

I was looking through some of mine, and noticed on the Bicycle Gargoyles there is a small difference right above the gargoyle head, and on the Arcane the top of the ribbon thing tends to move around a little.

I was waiting for someone to mention that. There is indeed a one way on my Gargoyles deck.

I've heard there is one, but I couldn't find it. Or maybe I did and I forgot...

I just found out that the deck: "Bee: 1902 Club Special Erdnase" Is actually a ONE WAY back design?!?!

in the middle of the deck you have the 2 large circles that say "1902 SWE" the smaller circle with the 2x3 acorns in it makes it one way! the triangle way they set it up does not make it a two way back.

Wasn't there a collective thread for one way backs?

In other news, water is wet

In more recent news, there are 2, count em 2 versions of this deck out there! Unbelievable isn't it.

And you call yourself a collector, Josh...

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #85 on:** January 13, 2013, 12:49:13 AM »

John I know there is 2. I'm talking about the 2nd ed. I haven't seen this deck on the collective one way thread.

Despite the photo, I think the current printing of that deck is, as John demonstrated, the "four acorn" model. It was easier I'm sure to use the old photo than arrange and pay for a new photo shoot.

Why yes, there is! And I'm merging this with that one. BTW: welcome! Are you through with being so monastic online?

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #87 on:** January 13, 2013, 12:57:12 AM »

Okay thanks for the info Don. Having 2 editions makes a few things get confusing

Assuming CARC finaly retired the Acorn designs, meaning the Black Acorns are the last acorn deck, yes the current design is the 4 acorn version

Finally merged these puppies - it was a pain in the neck finding the other topic until I reversed the method I was using (long story, not worth telling).

This topic needs new life in it anyway - any NEW one way backs not already mentioned? They have to have at least semi-subtle if not truly subtle one-way marks.

Add Altruism deck to the list. The little triangle/pyramid above the owl's head 'faces' the same direction on both ends of the back design.

EDIT: Fixed it. Thanks Don. Will keep that in mind.

Siegismyname · « **Reply #91 on:** January 13, 2013, 09:48:57 PM »

So a friend of mine bought me the Bicycle zombie playing cards and I realised that the backs are a pretty subtle 1 way too.

*Hint* Look at the for fingers.

MrMollusk · « **Reply #92 on:** January 13, 2013, 10:52:16 PM »

The Eclipse deck had a really well hidden one way. Look at the corners, for that odd wheel type design.

Edit: Included a picture

The way this works is that we're not simply compiling a list of which decks have subtle one-way backs, but where the one-way marks are located - with photos, when possible. I'd tell you now but I don't have my Altruisms with me and couldn't describe them with any real accuracy.

MrMollusk · « **Reply #94 on:** February 05, 2013, 12:04:44 PM »

Legends deck, too.
Top corner of the dragon's wings. One side has a curve, one doesn't.

The one-way marks on the aces in that deck are reversed - it makes for easy spotting when scanning the deck backs quickly.

Would the Infinity back be subtle enough, or is that a blatant one-way? Excuse a newbie for asking...

It's not so obvious. The deck is meant to look like a two-way deck. Where did you find the one-way mark?

Leif · « **Reply #98 on:** February 06, 2013, 03:19:36 AM »

Well, the circular text in the middle, INFINITYINFINITYINFINITYINFINITYINFINITYINFINITY and so on, the four topmost letters on one side is TYIN but on the other side it is FINI. I hope this is helps. I've attached a picture to try to show you.

Michael · « **Reply #99 on:** February 06, 2013, 04:22:05 AM »

Wow! I never noticed that! Good catch

I think this definitely counts as a one-way back.
