They're canceled, usually with a saw raggedly cutting off one of the corners and marker stripes on the edges.  They're great for packet tricks that destroy a card or for the kids to play Go Fish with, but that's about it to me.  Uncanceled decks are a totally different story.

Basically, for a buck, you're getting what you paid for.

When you buy those decks in lots, you can get uncanceled. I bought Aristocrats and PlanetHollywood, and they were as good as new.

Canceled decks that have corners cut arent very recommendable, i only use those for practicesessions.

Usually, the only time uncanceled decks hit the market, they're sold sealed and new, and they usually become available when the casino switches deck backs/colors so that model is no longer used on the floor.  I'm pretty sure it's illegal to not cancel a used deck.  I've never seen a legit uncanceled deck sell for a buck - only the Chinese counterfeits.
