Title: Bicycle Vintage Decks
Post by: NathanCanadas on January 21, 2012, 12:17:41 PM
Hey guys, I wanted to know where I can buy Bicycle Vintage decks for cheap. Not the Series 1800s, but some that work for Zach Mueller's Vintage Holdout.
Thank you,
Nathan

Five, those are the Heritage Series #2 decks in the first link, NOT the Vintage series.  The Vintage series was a planned set of 12 in both red and blue, but only #1-5 & #7 were released before the series was either placed on hold or just canceled outright.  The second link you posted is correct for the series, the first isn't.  I've heard of the trick, and Mueller specifies that the trick works best using the specific box design of the Vintage series - it can be adapted to other designs, but not as well.

LOTS of shops sell the individual decks, often in a red/blue set, but the1eyedjack is where I got mine - it was the only site I found carrying the entire set in a single purchase.  Use the discount code "jack12" for 10% off your order.  If you want to get it cheaper, check out eBay or Amazon, keyword search "Bicycle Vintage Series playing cards".

But they aren't Vintage.  They're Heritage Design series.  The trick specifically works best with the Vintage series deck boxes, not Heritage Design.  Look for the trick - I think I saw it at the Blue Crown.  There's only been one Vintage Series, and it was never completed.
