I went to the local flea market here recently and picked up these 2 decks

English on one side, french on the other.

For $1 a deck.. I'm happy!

___________________________________________

And, I opened up this deck I bought off ebay a while back.. and it made me laugh...

These could be the best custom Jacks and Jokers ever! LOL

Now that shit is funny. I love the commercials! The fact that they made a deck off of them....I must find lol

Does the seller on eBay have any more of those decks?

This deck is cool, I might have to get one.

That's Gieco, but same thing applies here.

But it would explain all the terrible decks on the market recently.

True, although I quite enjoy this deck.

It would have been better if they had beef jerky in their hands.

When I bought them off ebay, I asked the seller if he had 2 because I like to buy 2 of every deck. He didn't
Here's the link to the auction I won
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Sealed-Bicycle-Jack-Links-Playing-Cards-/180706881108

He won them in a contest from Jack Links. There were 1,000 given away.

I was originally looking for the 2011 WSOP playing cards, and I still am.

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??

Here are some stories related to the controversy

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 any

Excuse my childishness while I laugh at the name of the second URL you have listed.

WOW.. I never even noticed that link name LOL

Anyway, I contacted the Rio casino (where the WSOP is being held), and they have none for sale and had no info on them.

BTW, if anyone is interested.. the WSOP final table starts today. You can watch it somewhat-live with a 10 minute delay on ESPN today

loldudex2 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 06, 2011, 04:48:27 PM »

Maybe they will sell the cards after today.

Interesting decks! I love finding things like that.

Intersting, I have never seen a good set of cards at a flea market. I did get a US Airlines deck but they were open

phantom1412 · « **Reply #15 on:** November 06, 2011, 07:29:08 PM »

Somebody said he got Jerry's (opened) for $3 at flea market, but years ago.

You got a very nice find, CBJ.

No comments on those gorilla deck, :-X

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 06, 2011, 08:07:44 PM »

That one is hilarious, even though the design appeal isn't there, I actually would love to have a deck like that in my collection.

Sorry, I have no idea where to find them

Where do you find information about these flea markets? Maybe I could find something here in Vancouver too...

I'm sure guys have Flea Markets there. I'm just outside Toronto, and I can think of 4 in my area alone.

Ask around. Google it.... I just typed in "list of vancouver flea markets", and this came up

http://www.vancouverfleamarket.com/home/index.php

Anyway, the flea market I went to had the regular tables of cheap s#itty electronics, and all the other crazy junk. But it also had a section with vintage stuff, antiques and collectables. I just went from booth to booth asking if they had playing cards. At least 1/2 did, but these were the only bicycle cards I could find.

i hope this helps

Im watching the 2011 Final table at the moment actually

and I heard that they destroyed the marked cards (Just what I heard may not be true).

I'm not sure what cards they are using at the moment on the final table, they may of got reprints of how they were meant to be, they are deffinetly Bikes at least

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.

CBJ · « **Reply #24 on:** January 16, 2012, 06:15:35 PM »

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.
