Bicycle? 1800 Vintage Playing Cards

Alex Hess · 09-04-2007, 11:58 AM

Ancient, worn and cracked. 1800's are ripped from history.
No detail was left untouched-- artwork on each card was delicately hand-crafted by ***********'s top graphic team. Even the seal on the deck looks like it was left in a gritty New York alley "for a spell".
Better. Badder. Older.

USPC Thick CASINO GRADE STOCK
More grunge, more cracks, more ancient beauty

These aren't really "new arrivals," but they're cool either way.

Augmoe · 09-24-2007, 07:02 AM

I love the look of these. Got to give E a thumbs...tip up. LOL

cant wait to get them ^^

They look great, but I have a pack of red and a pack of blues and they feel HORRIBLE. The finish on them is like some kind of sandpaper. They don't feel, spread or fan well. At all.

Alex Hess · 09-24-2007, 09:13 PM

I am not sure what kind you got lol, mine are flawless.

Have you received the first edition or the second edition?

brockybluez · 09-26-2007, 03:26 PM

haven't picked up any yet, but they look killer. going to grab a few in the next couple weeks or so. beautiful cards!

kingkstur · 09-26-2007, 05:00 PM

i heard these look amazing, but there are some faults to them. I've been hearing that the finish isn't as "high quality" as the other E decks (personally i think normal bikes already have good quality), and that the inside of the box doesnt have any art.

this isn't a big deal, because i don't suspect that spectators will actually look inside the box, but still.. it'd be nice to have.

Alex Hess · 09-26-2007, 06:12 PM

Correct, inside of every box that I have received from E has not had any designs.

I have two 1800 style decks and I never use em for the shear fact I am afraid to ruin em lol.

They all fan and have great finishes. I dunno if people are receiving defective decks or what, but mine are fine

They look so cool but its useless to me

magicbob · 09-26-2007, 06:27 PM

They look hot as hell but don't handle very well. I'll stick to the Masters Series.

salad · 09-27-2007, 02:42 PM

they look really awsome but there realy is no point of buying them.

Brandon Pomeroy · 09-27-2007, 09:47 PM

That is the reason for getting them. They look totally awesome. It seems to me that just the fact that the cards look cool would increase the "wow" factor of the trick. I'll have to put this theory to the test, but mine haven't arrived yet.

kingkstur · 09-28-2007, 04:39 PM

Also, it's been raised by some of my friends that the cards may seems to handle like trash only because they look like it. Although it could be the fact that the finish is bad, it's more likely to be a psychological factor. Who expects a 200 year old deck to fan like butter anyways? Definitely not me.

What could make the finish so "not-good"? It's absolutely not the paint, as tigers and vipers are covered in black and silver paint. It's probably also not the finish because, I mean c'mon.. it's USPCC!! The standard Air-Cushion Finish makes these cards better than 90% of all the other cards on the market.

Besides, coming in at six bucks a pop, I'm pretty sure that the finish is at least decent. After all, they are all running through the same card presses.

My two cents.
