I am looking for silver-backed Bicycle playing cards with black borders. HOPC is giving them away, but I don't want to get it from them. I'm just wanting to see if anyone here has them to buy or trade.

I am also in search of the silver-backed Bicycle playing cards obtained from the Silver + Gold Prestige pack. I have the gold deck, and would like the silver to complete my pair.

If anyone have any of the decks I've listed, please personal message me to work out a deal. Thanks!

Until I've seen them I can't say for sure, but I suspect that the silver with black borders version is an HOPC exclusive.  The Prestige decks are for sale at BMPokerWorld and we have a coupon code for that shop in the NDR.

Exclusive? - I bought them at KMart for like $3. Never saw them there again. Very interesting some of the things KMart has.
Also, I know that BMPokerWorld has one, a set that is, but I'm not looking for the deck specifically, just the silver deck. And, I for one won't pay nearly $20 for the set when I'm just going to sell one off anyway...even if it comes with a tempting 10% coupon.

Hey,

The HOPC silver deck is not the black bordered one. It is a white bordered silver rider back. I have one and will be up for selling it to you. After looking on ebay, the cheapest that I could find that individual deck to be was $8.17 + shipping.  I am up for selling mine for $7 plus shipping if you are interested.

Thanks

Maybe yours wasn't black bordered, but mine was.  The HOPC deck is Rider Back in silver with a BLACK border.

Hmmm. Interesting. Weird of them to change the colors midway. Will it be possible to post a picture of the back design, if you opened it that is?

I have the exact same deck. When you said black border, I thought you meant a black border that went all the way to the edge.

D'oh!  :))

And just what would you call that black line-y thing going around the Rider Back design?

Just out of curiousity, I found a listing on Amazon of that deck, but how's the handling? Some reviews haven't been good.

I have had the opened one for quite a while so I cannot remember the exact details, but it seemed to handle like a standard bike.  Don Boyer may have a more exact answer.

Shz, please avoid double posts - just edit the first post to include the new info.

It's a non-metallic silver ink on Ohio-made Bikes, so performance doesn't take a hit and they're pretty good cards.  (At least I think they're Ohio-made...)

My apologies :-[. Will keep that in mind from now on.
And, mine are Ohio made as well.

I've messaged him, confirming that these are actually the ones without the Bicycle logo as the back design.

It's not the same deck.  The one that HOPC had was with "international" packaging - it was made for sale in Canada and had French and English labeling.

Oh. Well then. I didn't notice that at first. Ah, now I'm back to the start. Does anyone still have that deck at a similar price range as the one in this auction, because, as you may know, I like things from Canada just as much as things here.

I'll take it if you can go a lower. I remember buying it from my local K-Mart for like around $5, if not less.
