I like them, I just wish they didn't shoot up in price after the first auction.

What do you guys think?

Merz has another 4-5 Bicycle decks coming out.

Here's what he has release so far

Bicycle Zebra
Bicycle Trace (red)
Bicycle Trace (Blue)
Bicycle Trace (Gold)
Bicycle Trace (Silver)
Bicycle Red, White, & Blue (S1)
Bicycle Red, White, & Blue (S2)

And of course he made the Bicycle Tie-Dye deck

I wonder what the next 4 will be.

Is MERZ a company or a person? Either way, he can shove it.

How many decks is he printing per 1 design?

Absolutely hideous. Managed to keep from saying that about the first one, but when he's releasing another two series no holds are barred.

I didn't know the Tie-Dye was his.  Absolutely awful-looking deck.  I can't imagine having the desire to buy ANY of his decks, except perhaps if forced at gunpoint by Merz himself to click "Bid" - and even then I'd have to give it some serious thought.

He's of the school of design that says "Let me make some genuine crap, I'll fling it at the wall and we'll see what sticks..."  They're the most simplistic variations on the Bicycle theme I've ever seen, made solely to fool the gullible into parting with their cash.

I think his next design will be the "Bicycle Bicycle deck", which will have the same classic Rider design, same box currently in use, even the same exact cards, but it will have his name on the box and be a limited edition, with the bidding starting at $50...  That right there would be the pinnacle of his creativity and his avarice.

One was okay, but two more to me is just a not doing it.

It's simple.  He wasn't.  Other than "What new and unimaginative ways can I line my pockets now?"
