BMPokerworld now has the Bicycle Standard: Green Rider Back, and this Bicycle Standard: Orange Rider Back available

Sounds like they're going to have all the same colors.... just an ugly box
-
I'm glad they are keeping the standard boxes. It would be more obnoxious in my opinion if they only changed the color and then had a whole new box. It's not a whole new card so they don't need a new box.
-
So, it's just the old orange rider backs in a new box?
-
I think the green would be better, but i have seen the orange elsewhere. I cannot remember where though.
I have no place in my collection for the color orange, but that is because its one of my least favorite colors.
-
Are they going to do this to all colors?

Don't know yet. But that would make sense.... can't just do green and orange :P

I like my Rider Backs better. ;)

Well there are already Turquoise & Fucshia in Standards and now Orange & Green, I guess Black may be next.

I dont think they should make the next 6. The new box is IMO acctually kinda nice not as nice as the rider backs but still nice BUT I dont think they should reprint all those decks. There is no sense they are all pretty much regular bicycle decks just with a different back. also for the people who dont like when a company puts out 2 of the same design in different colors, What do you think of this! 12 decks all the same thing pretty much I dont think is neccisary.

Some of the colors you listed weren't orders from USPC - for example, I read this on the Playing Card Wiki:

The Green, Orange, Gold, Silver, Turquoise and Fuschia Rider Back were produced by italian Vincenzo Di Fatta (http://www.difatta.it/english/index.php?pag=company.html), who also have produced a Rainbow Rider Back (http://playingcards.wikidot.com/bicycle:rainbow-rider).
The Yellow and Burgundy/Maroon Rider Backs were produced by the Bond Agency (http://www.cards4magic.co.uk/acatalog/info.html).
The Brown Rider Backs were produced by Brooke Michael's Pokerworld (http://www.bmpokerworld.com/about1.htm).

However, it looks like some of these "custom order" colors are already being released in the new boxes, so anything's possible, I guess. Unless DiFatta is simply reordering his customs - all the new ones besides red and blue were originally produced by DiFatta.
USPC is still selling its Cincinnati stock of the Black Bikes - I've been getting them in a four-deck set from Walgreen's comprised of two Standard reds and two Poker blacks. The black deck is exclusive to that set - all the individual blacks selling out there came from those sets. It's kind of funny - the set sells for $12 unless it's on sale, and I usually see the Blacks selling for $5 or more...

Sorry, what I meant is that there are only 12 color variations on the original Rider Back box. I didn't mean they were all printed for USPCC direct.
Either way, I would imagine DiFatta is just doing a change over... in turn selling more decks to obsessive people like me :)
I wonder if BMPokerworld will do the same with the brown Rider Back

Oh gosh, they are probably going to do this will all of the colors, what a drag!
How much do you want to bet that they are going to do this AGAIN! just with the NEWER boxes. Ha!
