Title: Bicycle Cherub
Post by: Don Boyer on February 21, 2013, 12:02:37 AM

Quoted from the blog at Brooke Michael's Poker World:

The Bicycle Cherub deck features the historic Cupid Rider, which was first introduced by Bicycle back in 1894. The intricate back design pattern in reminiscent of Bicycle's early designs and will be enjoyed by today's collectors.

The vibrant purple back design is the perfect back drop for the white accents which accentuates the sophisticated Cherub design. The ace of spades features the Cupid Rider, which is one of the nicest ace of spades I have seen coming from a deck released directly from Bicycle. The finish is Air-Cushion and the stock is traditional Bicycle. A release date has not been determined.

I don't quite agree that the AoS is the nicest I've seen from Bicycle. I actually like their standard AoS. But I do agree that the back design looks amazing. I'm a sucker for purple colored backs and I think it is very detailed and looks nice!

I like the back as well - was always a fan of the Cupid Back decks.  Purple is definitely trending as a popular alternative color for a pack of cards.

purple 8) I like it - I've never owned a Cupid back, but they do look rather appealing :))

I absolutely love this deck. The color is gorgeous, the design is beautiful but I can still use it for performances, and if it's coming straight from Bicycle so it should be pretty inexpensive. Fantastic.

I'm looking forward to the release of this deck and maybe, just maybe, the courts will be slightly recolored to match the purple theme of this deck. I would like to see some purple accents on the courts :D

These are Awesome, love the color, and I've always been a big fan of Cupid Back for some reason. Can't wait for these to come out.

I also think they would look great in a dusty rose like color...
