I just bought an ask alexander deck from D&D.
I never knew what ivory finish is until I first touch it today.
Honestly, I don't like it.
What do you think about this finish?

"Ivory Finish" is just a USPC trademark for a smooth finish on a deck of Bee playing cards.  Some like a smooth finish, some don't.  At least Ivory isn't a cheap finish, like on so many poorly-made inexpensive decks.  It's more akin to the smooth Aladdins.  I think it's OK, myself, though nothing like Magic Finish.

The above is correct. It's standard smooth finish from USPCC. Actually, you can name your finishes anything you want as long as you don't produce under the Bicycle branding, so don't read into the finish hype too much - it's all the same as the standard stuff USPCC offers.

I don't really like smooth/ ivory finish.

Also if you can name the finish whatever you want then you should name the smooth-magic finish on the Harlequins the "Harlequin" finish/ "Epic" finish.

That's ALL we need - yet ANOTHER name for the same stuff...


Please, Magic Finish is JUST fine!

I was just talking about the smooth finish with the magic finish on top.
