It's by Hong Kong celebrity, Edison Chen. Just like BAPE, OriginalXFake, this is another Bicycle branded playing card printed by USPCC for a fashion brand.

It seems like it won't be sold, but only given out to customers who purchase over a certain not-yet-decided amount.

Same pic, but you can see the back design

moonexe · « **Reply #3 on:** December 21, 2011, 01:50:08 PM »

That looks pretty, I wouldn't mind having a few... But if the price comes high I probably won't bother.

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #4 on:** December 21, 2011, 08:45:27 PM »

To me, the back design looks crisp and edgy.

@sxjy0109 - So, what your telling me is that this deck is going to be sold like the White Fans and LTD's, whereas you'd need to buy something in order to get this deck?

I will be getting some if they come out later in the new year, that way, I can get my financials together.

Another pic of them. Shows the inside cards.

What do you guys think?

(Sorry for the small image though)

Billywiz · « **Reply #6 on:** December 22, 2011, 08:35:17 PM »

I really like these, nice jokers. Are the court cards faces missing? If so thats pretty cool. Love the backs, but it looks like a standard ace of spades. I'll add them to my to get list

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 22, 2011, 09:07:09 PM »

Yah, it does look like the court cards are missing their faces, it just makes them that much more awesome. I really like it a lot, although, it questions me how they customized the court cards, but not the ace.

sliverboi · « **Reply #8 on:** December 22, 2011, 09:10:54 PM »

Yes, the court cards are missing their faces =) I find its kinda cool when you mix red with black for the backs. I am also guessing the price aint going to be cheap though.

Sorry for the small pic again. Thats the best I can find.

Hmmm, the court cards somehow interesting but also scary.

Jin Jian · « **Reply #10 on:** December 22, 2011, 11:16:56 PM »

where can i buy them?

CBJ · « **Reply #11 on:** December 29, 2011, 02:31:06 AM »

Here we go guys.

There were 72 decks this afternoon... now there are only 48 left.

As far as I know, the rest will be sold at the store in Hong Kong.

Be warned, the deck works out to about 21USD... and the shipping for a single deck will kill you.

I would get a group of American to team up and order a brick. Me and a fellow Canadian split on a brick

I really like them, but I think I'll pass, too expensive for a new deck... Maybe I'll get one from someone here later.

lordlupus · « **Reply #13 on:** December 29, 2011, 04:37:05 AM »

I like the overall looks, though I would have preferred if the card's back design is black like the design on the box instead of red.

Will buy one to keep and one to open up just to check out the eerie faceless court cards. I find them disturbingly attractive...

MrLukeCarroll · « **Reply #14 on:** December 29, 2011, 05:23:37 AM »

I quite like the look of the deck but not enough to pay over $20 for it,

I took the payment right to the end of paypal (Wasn't game to go any further) and I wasn't seemingly being charged any shipping so I've got no idea what the shipping would be like

Don Boyer · « **Reply #15 on:** December 29, 2011, 06:08:13 AM »

I ordered a half-brick. Not cheap. Barely fits within my pricing rule of thumb. I'll use more than half as either trading fodder or eBay cash-bringers.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFER OF SALE OR TRADE. When I get them, if I sell them here, I'll make one. I make it a policy to never sell what I'm not holding in my hands.

dmbaggs · « **Reply #16 on:** December 29, 2011, 06:09:03 AM »

Really nice deck!! I love the faceless court cards, but I'm going to pass because of the price. Although I do hope to pick up a couple of these eventually, but I'm in no rush

@Sabacc I respect that! It seems many people are selling items they don't even have haha

Too many. Way too many. The part that irks me is when they give the most bare-bones description of the item but can't even tell you anything about it when asked - like that Blink-182 deck. Someone on eBay was selling it and couldn't even answer whether it was a USPC-made deck or not.

munro159 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 29, 2011, 06:24:51 AM »

Oh they charge you shipping after you try to complete your order through paypal. In my experience (just about ordered a deck) shipping was more than the deck. Although this could be a flat shipping rate....How much was your shipping good@sabacc if you don't mind me asking...

The deck was HK$160. I bought six - total of HK$960. Domestic orders for that amount were HK$1200 with shipping, while mine was HK$1300 for an international shipment.

PayPay is charging me an exchange rate of HK$7.57619 to the dollar, and charging me US$171.59.

lordlupus · « **Reply #20 on:** December 29, 2011, 07:11:51 AM »

International shipping cost for 3 decks is HK$200 (domestic is HK$100), in case anyone wishes to know.

I find it strange that the shipping cost is only given all the way right to the end of the purchasing process. I initially thought that the shipping cost has been integrated into the deck price and that is why it was expensive. The final shipping cost advice took me by surprise.

CBJ · « **Reply #21 on:** December 29, 2011, 10:31:18 AM »

I warned you guys the shipping was crazy.

To get to the shipping prices, you have to start the checkout process with paypal, then once you're in paypal BEFORE you do your final confirmation... you will see the shipping info.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #22 on:** December 29, 2011, 10:53:11 AM »

It ain't cheap, shipping included, but it's a nice looking deck - more unique than a lot of the "clothing store one-shots" that have been coming out lately. Not to say they aren't nice, but there's just been so many - these stand out a little more.

DidoDido · « **Reply #23 on:** December 29, 2011, 11:08:24 PM »

now they are sold out ...

Both at the $50 mark

you can still get them here:

dmbaggs · « **Reply #26 on:** January 16, 2012, 07:18:37 PM »

Outrageously priced for a deck in my opinion. I understand why it's selling at the price it is on ebay, but I just can't justify spending that much on this deck.

Evan · « **Reply #27 on:** January 16, 2012, 08:21:34 PM »

So, we can get it for $30 cheaper than on ebay?

I would buy a couple if they weren't $20!

With the shipping, and factoring in that they tossed me an extra deck, it was about $24.50 per deck. Assuming the extra as a freebie and counting for only the six decks I ordered, the price per jumps to $28.60.

Hell, I should put mine on eBay...

I'll probably offer JUST A FEW decks here, soon. I already gave one away to the Deck Aid project to help Carlo restore his fine collection after the natural disaster that hit...

I'll post photos here soon.

BTW: hit the Juice Store for gits and shiggles - they only have TWO left. That number probably changes, but for now, it's what they're listing. It could be they've started limiting orders to only two per.

Took the last pair. Thanks for the heads up CBJ!

Don Boyer · « **Reply #30 on:** January 17, 2012, 03:15:32 AM »

You did indeed get the last two - I just checked and they're listed as sold out.

Someone check in there in about a day or so and see if they come back in stock...

Photos, anyone? I have to split them into two posts.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #31 on:** January 17, 2012, 03:33:01 AM »

Photos, batch 2:

As you can see, the black face cards are just that - pure black, not other details - and the reds are red and black, with a little additional detail that the blacks don't have. Even the weapons are missing, since they used colors other than red and black. The faces look cool, but they're terribly simple - take all colors not red or black and remove/change to white, done. At least the backs show a higher level of work. Those funny "C" spots are a big C with geometric shapes inside to represent L, O and T, giving us the brand name of the clothing/toy store.

dmbaggs · « **Reply #32 on:** January 17, 2012, 04:07:08 AM »

Not a fan of the backs but the court cards look awesome!! If these weren't priced so high I would have picked up some.

Thanks for the pictures!

This was yet another case of "wow, the back pictured on the box looks a lot nicer than the ones on the cards!" That had some contrast and was visually interesting, while the cards are "wow, a big field of red, a sprinkling of black".

As I said, I'm going to offer a few at a little more than I paid and a lot less than the current eBay sales mentioned previously.

CBJ · « **Reply #34 on:** January 18, 2012, 07:39:04 AM »

I like the court cards!!!

Not too sure about the back design... of course I don't open mine lol
