I am working on a new custom deck project which will have card backs based on vintage Bicycle decks. I am looking at 2 options for the color. The first is a classic one color black and the other is a 2 color black and metallic gold. The gold would be a bright yellow gold, not the more bronze colored standard Bicycle gold. Which do you think collectors and players would prefer?



p.s. Knowledgeable collectors can make a quiz of the different decks which the card elements came from (some have been modified slightly).

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

They'd prefer both!  Two colors make a poker set, right?  You could also make a black/silver combo - and they've finally cracked the formula for hot foil stamping on cards, so you could do them in foil instead of metallic inks.

Good point Don, but in this case I can only use one. I will be posting the whole custom deck soon and you will see why I can only use one (except maybe as a stretch goal).
