Apologies if this is old.

S&Ms have a one way back design. In either the top-left or bottom-right corner of the design, there will be a large dot, and an extra, smaller dot. The large dot is present in all four corners, but the small one appears only in 1 corner.

There may be more, I didn't check out every detail.

That's a great find!! Even knowing what I was looking for it still took me a bit. Now that I see it, it's unmistakable!

Thanks! :)
 
They are one-ways anyway :p.

Nice find though.
 
VWind, take out the deck. Look at the top left corner and you will see a dot along the left side of the border. If it's one dot, look at the bottom right corner at the same dot. One of those two dots in either position will have a smaller dot next to it.

EVERY type of deck is like that every once in a while. Off Center Printing happens, just open another deck and check it.

Yeah, I've had Bikes like that on more than one occasion. My S&M decks aren't like that at all.

The dot is very small and you can't really see it on the picture in this thread as the resolution is too low.

When you have the deck it is very obvious (although completely invisible if you don't know what to look for).
 
I saw it and was going to keep quiet about it and didnt' want anyone to know. Oh well.
