fluorescent color bicycle deck

[Labyrinth]

I find this fluorescent green deck in my cabinet
(pic1 & pic2)

and I just make a help buying for fluorescent yellow decks before
(pic3)

so now I know there are green n yellow fluorescent  deck

I'm curious about how many colors of this kind of deck?

It looks very cool color 

[xZEROx]

Fluorescent green? Is this the pastel green deck? It'd be nice if you could show the box.
If it's the pastel green, then it's a set of 3, with the other two decks being pink and blue.
The Yellow Rider Back does not belong to this set.

Yeah is that the pastel green deck? I'd love to know what deck it is so I can check those out. They look bright AWESOME! It'd be cool to see the box like @zero said.

I want that green one. Now.

unfortunately, I didn't have box, only cards 

but obviously
it's not pastel green deck  and not regular green back bicycle either
the pastel is revers green face
my cards are normal face

I just try to take more pictures with other green deck for compered
but
it's really hard to photo fluorescent color...

1. I just take picture directly (pic1)

2. I use photo edit program, only edit the "saturation" of color (pic2)

3. for higher saturation (pic3) you can see only that deck become fluorescent

4. just see closely (pic4)

it's really a special deck as same as those  fluorescent yellow deck

I want that green one. Now.

sorry I only have this ones and I can't find any information of this deck
so I just looking for somebody could answer me here   

[Labyrinth]

btw

I have pastel green deck, reverse green deck v1&v2,

so I know it is different from those green deck certainly

ain't it the bicycle irregular deck ?

[Don Boyer]

ain't it the bicycle irregular deck ?

No.  Irregulars are printed canted and off-center.


Gonna look and see if I have that.

Edit: I got nothing.  Irregular is the closest in color, but these would be "irregular Irregulars" if they were printed perfectly centered.

Could you post the images of the jokers and the AoS?  It would help in ID'ing the cards.  The AoS may give us a clue as to a possible manufacturing date, and all three cards might identify the deck as well, if they're unique in some way.

WAIT - Just looked at the AoS in the photos.  There's a letter code, something they don't usually put on a custom order.  The letter is "O", meaning this deck was made either this year or about 20 years ago!  This could be a NEW deck!

@labyrinch, those GNs were mine

[xZEROx]

Hold on there Don, I see "C", not "O". And from the chart I'm using, I don't even see "O" ever being used! Maybe I'm missing a piece of information...@.@

[Evan]

I've never seen those "fluorescent" decks before but they look pretty cool.... very bright though. If anyone finds a place that sells them, please post it here.

[Don Boyer]

I thought it was an "O".  Last year was "N", which hadn't previously been used since 1910, so anything's possible with the lettering.


If it was "C", then it was likely from 2001 - but you probably know that by now... 

That is one LIMEY-GREEN playing card, I tell ya...

[Aaron]

Ya that is definatly a C. Does anyone know where I can see a chart of lettering for years?

On Lee Ashers list it says that they don`t use the N code anymore, It says 2011 was P and 2012 is R

Thanks you for the link

[Labyrinth]

@don
Yap the code of AoS is C

I dont think it's limed green, bcuz it's not normal color

I try to present the color on picture, but its really hard to do
It need some special photo skill that I can not do it

The joker is regular bicycle joker
1 for big joker, 1 for gurentee joker


@digipunk
Yes that u sold me :p

[ReaganM]

I know this is off topic but the color makes my eyes want to bleed

[xZEROx]

Hmm could it be the international/canadian version? Maybe it's printed with a different shade of green, and that's what made it look fluorescent?

Yeah, I spoke with Lee Asher about that via email.  His chart is incorrect, and not just in the huge predictions it makes going clear into 2039.  It also misstates that 1976 and 1996 were "W" when in fact they were "B", breaking the straightforward lettering order (W hasn't been used since 1956).  He plans to change it when he returns from a trip to Asia he's in the middle of.

This is the best chart I've seen so far, since it's the closest to being current.

I know that last year was indeed "N" because I own a good number of "N" decks, including the USPC version of the Steam Punk deck and some late-model WalMart Bikes.  Steam Punk was released early this year, but it was likely printed late last year.

As a "C" this deck is most likely either '01 or '81.  The simplicity of the code may indicate it's the older of the two but I can't be certain since I haven't seen this deck before and the box is missing.

@Reagan - no, it's definitely on-topic to state that color is really hard on the eyes in terms of the shade!

Actually, it also says Cincinnati on the AoS. Which means it couldn't be new.

[Don Boyer]

The letter code already tells us that.  Any deck made prior to 2009 would say Cincinnati on it and would indeed be Cincinnati-made.  The Erlanger plant wasn't "ready for business" until '09.

You do raise an interesting point about the Ace of Spades - modern AoS cards DON'T list the city of manufacture!  I can only say for certain this is a deck from either 2001 or 1981.  If anyone knows about when USPC removed the city of manufacture from the AoS it would help in dating this deck.

If pressed, I'd guess it's made in 2001.  I am trying to picture USPC making fluorescent decks in '81 and it's just not happening...
