I decided to open up a Yellow Game of Death Deck.
and unlike the original red versions, These Do not fan at all, and also seems to stick in clumps when I Pulled them out.

Stack of 52 cards also was 4-5 cards thicker than the red version
There doesn't seem to be much finish to this.

Doesn't seem like a counterfeit. but I can not find any reviews online on this.

Anyone open these, can let me know their experience?'
Thanks

I only opened the standard, im already thinking of trading or selling an original edition, those were like 20 bones each,   If i were to bet, Id say all are the same stock.

Its a air-cusion style finish, but no where near as good,
Dribbles are bad, springs are not too bad cus its soft

The cards are thick but not stiff (no snap), youll notice it is a pretty thick tuck.
Also, Card holds form, so bends can easily create gaps.
So not as easy to handle, manipulate,  or play poker with.

I wouldnt play poker with them, I love the back design on the original edition,
i got 1 ad-card with that back in the standard

i am very curious to see what your opionion

I just received these Decks (Standard & Original)

I decided to get the Original Version as they have different backs.

Well the look and art are wonderfully recreated, abeit No need for two back designs.
I enjoy All Home Run Games Restorations,
However the Stock and Finish of these cards are pure crap, Initially I thought this would be printed by USPCC.

Cards do not fan, Cards feel really thick, yet flimsy. They Do pharo atleast (one side)
Package, box, all very nice, but really quality of the cards itself is pretty bad. I think this is the new direction of Home Run Games.
Wonder if USPCC is just too expensive. Never thought even JRobinson will be printing with someone other than USPCC.

Overall, I do not regret getting them, The recreation alone is worth it
but I think they should have just released one back design (THE ORIGINAL) as their standard, maybe just cash grab for us completists.

imho,

They handle just as well as the  red and blue

I was wondering if anyone knows who commissioned these older colored decks ?

Purple Rider Back (Standard - Not Reversed Purple Deck done by Magic Makers)
Black Tally-Ho Circle (Not the Reversed Viper or or Penguin Magic White Deck)
Black Tally-Ho Fan (Not the Reversed Viper Deck or Penguin Magic White Deck)
& Different Black Tally-Ho Fan (Not the Reversed Viper or Penguin Magic White Deck)

For example - BMPokerworld did the Brown deck, and Vincenzo Di Fatta did the Turquoise Deck

Thank you all for any info.

Got some a few of these in Red and Blue
These are not the same as the 807 decks
Also Just Red has a different Bar code.

these say 2014 but States Erlanger, KY on the side, But has a BLUE seal not black.
with Old Tuck Design.
Could this be fake? or international version?

Any info would be appreciated

My apologies, i will post lager pics . Thank you for all the info

Okay ,  In this picture  they are both  Blue Seal
but if you notice the tuck box, in the 2nd one, the box is glued together under Cincinnati Label,
unlike the first one.

I have a few bee decks like this also, with a box glues together underneath Cincinnati Label.
all newer decks ONLY have this on the other side, but these have it on both sides.

I am guessing somewhere between 1985 and 1994   but I can't be too sure.
wondering when USPCC went to the tuck box design where they only have a glue seamed on one side.


Look forward to hearing about what you think.










- Classic-style Bicycle box - popular for decades!
- Says Cincinnati on the box with ZIP code - ZIP codes didn't exist until 1962.  Also means the box was printed before the move to the plant in Erlanger in 2009.
- Sticker seal - not older then the mid 1980s.
- BLACK sticker seal - prior to the move in August of 2009, Bicycles usually had red or blue seals on the boxes.  When the company moved, they switched to black seals.  They were printing cards in Erlanger, but still had leftover boxes printed in Cincinnati.  It's a very solid chance that your cards were printed sometime around 2009, perhaps 2010 at the latest, and are likely Erlanger-made.  The Classic style box is still in print, but on a much smaller scale and with the company's new address on it.  The more modern-looking "Standard" box became the mass-produced version as of the move.
