I would have to go with the S&M series. It has gotten a little less fantastic towards the end but it was still a game changer. I think that it is by far the most impressive looking series and it has amazing quality on top of all of that.

You left out more than Karnival...  Vintage, Heritage #1 & #2, Split Spades, Split Spades Lions, 125th Anniversary,
the CARC Bee series, the CARC Pro Bikes, the Centurions, the Diavoli collection (which includes a lot of crap but also Bike Gargoyles), the Bicycle Color Collection, the Bicycle Fashion series, the Twilight/Bungalow/etc. series, the Richard Turner collection (Gamblers, Gold Seal Bikes, Mandolin Backs), the "dirty" Bikes...and that's just off the top of my head.  There are many more.


I would have left out the older stuff, but you did go back to the 1970s with the J-Nuggs...

Although not out yet and more of a set than a series, the Seasons would get my vote (and the CARC decks.  I <3 Bee).  From the current options, I went for the S&M just because from those listed, I think they handle the best and I love the design.

As much as the Seasons decks look cool, I wouldn't count them yet - they're not in release.  You don't really know what they'll be like until you're holding them in your hands.

I think Artifice is cool too. But too bad there aren't emerald v1.
It's like something is missing. Why red&blue v1 but blue&green v2?

So I just chose the smoke&mirrors.

Shouldn`t crown be 7 decks. all 3 colours V1 and V2 and Black Crown.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

I didn't count the Black Crown because there wouldn't be consistency.

the CARC Bee series, the CARC Pro Bikes, the Centurions, the Diavoli collection (which includes a lot of crap but also Bike Gargoyles), the Bicycle Color Collection, the Bicycle Fashion series, the Twilight/Bungalow/etc. series, the Richard Turner collection (Gamblers, Gold Seal Bikes, Mandolin Backs), the "dirty" Bikes...and that's just off the top of my head.  There are many more.

I'll be adding those shortly.

My number one favorite is of course Artifice, but I also voted for Crown and S&M. ;)

Just out of curiousity, why is Karnival series called "Karnival Contemplation"?
 
Is that its official series name, a play on words or is there something about Karnival we are supposed to contemplate about?  :-\

More as a play on words, it just is unique with it's pronunciation. I guess you can contemplate about the artwork. :D

I think you should update the crown series to 8 decks, and add the CARC decks, perhaps the NOCs, Seasons, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s party starters series, maybe the Walgreens series (new, old studs and the new play right cards), the tally-ho series: vipers, red, blue and black circle and fan back and the green circle back, heritage series 3 from T11, Monarchs series (normal, white and gold), JAQK, Steampunks (copper and silver), Vintage design series (the 12 deck series from Bicycle), Stingers (red and black, old and new), the donation series? (the 3 cancer research decks, the alzheimers association deck, the wounded warrior etc, the Fulton's Series (chinatown, clip joint, ace fulton), the Vintage Plaid series, the CCC series (Brimstone, Quicksilver and the one after that mentionned by Russel...
The list is long.
What's a bit too bad about these series is that it's easier for me personally to vote for those with the greatest number and value rather than to vote for the ones I like best.
I voted for Crown, S&M, and Karnival (which you should also add 5 or so decks to...).
Arcane, Artifice, Split Spades, Color collection etc came close behind. I think it would be funner if we could vote for our top 5 rather than 3. Personal preference.
