What stock and finish are the Crown decks?

Hi guys, just wondering what the stock and finish of the crown decks is.
Thanks

This is what you posted in the black crown thread...

The flexible, durable card stock and premium finish ensure that the decks handle like a dream.

just helping you answer your own question 


I guess that doesn't give an actual stock name, so thats 1/2 the answer

Lol yea that doesnt help too much.
I know the finish is Magic Finish but I don't know the stock for sure.

It feels like either Bike or Aristocrat stock but I'm not sure at all.

I'd guess it's the Aristocrat version being used in Tally Ho decks.

Well they mentioned that they used a "NEW STOCK!" in their crown series. Not sure what that means but it could just be a no-name stock that they use solely (thanks to Bicycle)

"New stock" can be a variant of a pre-existing stock.  Variations in temperature and humidity can make the same stock handle completely differently.  Both the Aristocrat and Tally Ho decks are made from Aristocrat stock, but they handle quite differently.  There was another recent deck that was made from a new variant of Aristocrat, too - can't remember which one, but I think it was mentioned here somewhere.
