"Vintage" Bicycle Cards from Penguin

[trashmanf]

thank you PhiltheMagician for providing a review, having handled both decks.

Rjohnson, yes I believe that USPCC is sort of copying ellusionist here. After all they did release "black" decks recently also which shows that they are trying to get a piece of this action. All in all I am for it, because the more decks that get made the better. But they definitely copied E this time!

however since Phil said they fan better than 1800s (and 1800s, while very cool graphically, are awful for fanning) I think I'm gonig to have to try some out... I hope they're not too bad.

as far as looks go.... wellll..... a really old, worn out deck is SUPPOSED to look like crap right? I mean if it was really weathered, it definnitely wouldn't look good.

I could not handle these cards, personally, I think that they look atrocious on the eyes.
Definitely a no-go for me.

I'm not going to take the time to read all the posts in here, but just because I was curious, I picked up a pack of these at Books- A - Million. I don't think they're bad cards at all. They look fairly good, and handle just like a normal deck. They're actually pretty nice cards. IMHO, of course.
