Seems like the Buck Twins are selling the old Cinninati Arrcos at 7 bucks. They only put out a 1000 for sale . So if your planning to get some , do so quickly! I hear they are awesome cards! Just putting this out in case someone is interested! Thanks!

The Jerry's are actually out of stock and it looks as if they removed them from their website

It seems like the Arrcos will be the next deck that will be crazed over. Are they really that good? Anyone handled the Cininnati Arrcos before? Are they that good?

Kpop, your post is just about as useful as the double post. ::)
I bought two blue decks since John kept telling me how awesome they are, I'll give you my impression when they get here. I used them as an excuse to order fultons and stingers, actually. ;)

[two thumbs up!]
I bought some Arrcos recently from pokerstud52 on eBay but they were Erlanger-made and dated 2011. I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform - I ordered some in green and black from the1eyedjack as well as some Cincy Arrcos from the Bucks.

Do let me know how these Erlanger ones handle. I may be planning to get some from my local magic shops since I can't get these on the Internet as I have no credit card. Sadly they only sell the Erlanger ones . But I heard that they were junk so I didn't get them. I love the back design ! Especially the green back.

Haha I was going to say the same thing!
I would be guessing that are great. Most of the Cincy decks are good and on top of that Arrco have a very strong reputation. I don't think I have any Cincy ones but the ones I have are great!!

Does that mean you have the Erlanger ones? How do they handle for fans and such? Thanks in advance:D

Cincinnati Arrcos are fantastic cards. I highly recommend that anyone try them out.
The first Erlanger reprints (Red/Blue/Black/Green) are not very good. Poor stock and finish, and they feel nothing like original Arrcos, even though the box still says that they're plastic coated. (They're not.)
You can tell them apart either by the seal, or the copyright info on the box. The plastic-coated Cincinnati decks will have a Blue seal, the newer reprints have a black seal.
Then of course, you also have the new White Arrcos (no seal) that I released which do not have the exact same handling as the old plastic-coated Arrcos, but are very good when it comes to handling and durability.
-
Thanks for the information! Seems like I won't be getting any Erlanger Arrcos anytime soon. :( what a pity, I really liked the green Arrcos.
-
I second what Reylek said. I didn't think I had any but then I remember that I have one from the D&D Variety Box v2. They handle a class above the Erlanger. Also like Reylek said the White Arrcos are very nice (once you get past the smell :-* ). Is there any reason why you are looking at Arrcos in particular?
-
I totally adore the back design for the Arrcos! But Singapore does not sell any Cinny Arrcos!

Yeah. Plus, I am unable to get anything from the Internet. I may get some Erlanger Arrcos and give a written review!
-
If I were you, I'd get some Erlangers anyway. A lot of people here seem to hate Erlanger decks mostly because of psychological factors due to the earlier runs. The recent ones really aren't that crappy, at least in the case of bikes. ::)
I'm tempted to actually get some Erlanger arrcos just for the sake of comparing them.
-
Yeah. Maybe if the Erlanger ones were compared to the cinninati ones , the erlangers would not be as good. But I believe the Erlanger ones are still not bad. So I'll be getting pheraps one or two decks to try them out. I'll make a review and update you guys again once I gotten them. Thanks for the advice by the way!

In the first couple of years, 2009 and 2010, Erlanger decks were not consistently good quality - USPC even admits as much now. But the newer decks are actually in most cases BETTER than the Cincinnati-made decks because they're being made with state-of-the-art processes. The White Arrcos are a prime example - their "Premium Finish" is the USPC Magic Finish, and few decks handle better than a deck with Magic Finish. The Erlanger plant has worked out the kinks and the quality has improved. People still grouse about Bicycle Rider Backs, though - they're using a lower-grade stock than they used to, in the opinion of most.
So if your Erlanger Arrco decks have a 2011 copyright, they're likely just fine.
