Did you happen to spot the part about how he's willing to trade for other high-value decks? Getting the Cage set was looking a little bleak for him so he opened up the offer. Check it out.

They seem to be a test set with a very limited edition. Don't know too much more about them. Just I need a crazy-for-bicycle-decks man (like me) with a Garden set available :D

They are indeed test decks. I think USPC was fiddling around with designs for other decks that conformed with the "Standard" box aesthetic of the current-issue Rider Back decks. They were also considering making the Angel Back a regular-stock back for some of their deck types.
