Making custom decks - so easy a caveman could do it.~
That's Gieco, but same thing applies here.
But it would explain all the terrible decks on the market recently.
I have heard that story about the scandal before CBJ, its quite interesting. Would be quite a nice piece of history to get your hands on. I have also been trying to find some online but to no avail. Keep me posted if you find anyExcuse my childishness while I laugh at the name of the second URL you have listed.
There was a huge conspiracy with them..."Miguel and Clive have finally been exposed and then admitted to paying off an employer of the card manufacturing company Bicycle, that has manufactured the dodgy marked cards in the 2011 WSOP $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em Event.Miguel and Clive owned up and admitted to getting the cards marked during the manufacturing process in the hopes that their investment would pay off if they won a WSOP bracelet.The devious plan was thwarted by Jon Turner – PearlJammer – who spotted that the low cards in the Bicycle deck of cards were marked. A new deck of unmarked cards was called for but all the cards decks manufactured by the Bicycle card company were marked the same."There are 2 different colors... the one shown above and red.Has anyone come across these?? I wonder if Bicycle destroyed them all??CBJ
This is funny stuff, The part about paying off a employee from USPCC to mark the decks is total Bulls#it!

Are you still looking? I got a two-deck set from Gambler's General Store. I just completed the flip test - no markings visible; doesn't mean they aren't somehow juiced, though. They came in a box with the oversized USPC seals on the sides, and packaged separately were two plastic cut cards and two tourney deck ID cards which were, strangely enough, made on a paper stock similar to Bikes.
Hey Don,Yeah, I've been meaning to pick up a set or 2.I was hoping to get some of the ones that were marked, but I would imagine USPC would have destroyed those.
