I have the original decks and also some fakes , years ago after USPC produced these green sticker Bee decks to be distributed by Connell Bros in Asia a lot of fakes appeared in the market.  There are a few ways to tell if the decks are fake , one is by the cellophane tear strip , the original green sticker Connell Bros Bee decks looks like this:

2 Bee decks are fakes , would recommend you to mention that in the auction or you may have problems when the buyer get the decks and find out they are fake.

This topic is confuse because there are quite a few Streamline versions with different qualities ( stock , finish , cut ) and Don Boyer didn't mention in the first post which Streamline version he is talking about.

Over the last decade Streamline decks have been produced in the U.S. , Spain and China , there are also pre-USPC Streamline decks made in Chicago by Arrco.

After USPC bought Arrco they kept some Arrco info in the box , only later they changed the word "Arrco" in front of the box to "Poker" which is still used today. Here are some pictures from Streamline decks made in the U.S. , Spain , China and one deck from the late 80's after USPC bought Arrco.

There are a lot of different Streamline editions , OP forgot to tell which one he is talking about  , the recent ones made in China are horrible for table work.

Also , Tally-Ho's are not traditionally cut , if you got one traditionally cut it is an exception.

The back designs comes from the American Bank Note Co. , I've seen at least 15 different bank note back designs , not counting pictorial backs which the company also produced.

About the Aristocrat 727 , the most popular backs are Back No.1 , Back No.2 and Back No.3 but these were not the only Aristocrat 727 designs.


I have some vintage Aristocrat 727 for sale if anyone is interested send me a PM

The only way I can help to date the deck is if you upload pictures of the box , all sides , and a picture of the seal.

There is no way to tell if a deck is from the 80's only by the bar code on the right , I have many Bicycle decks that are not from the 80's with the bar code on the right.

Thanks , but no thanks.

Also , they have copied the Bicycle Rider Back design? if that is true they may have problems with USPC.
