This was such a well thought out deck. From the classic ace of spades, to the vintage jokers this deck is beautiful. The back design is definitely up there with my favourites. The fonts and pip style is elegant and beautiful. In terms of handling, these are excellent. Very durable, soft stock and finish. Great for magicians and cardists. A must buy in my books!

These cards are one of the best ones I own, thanks D&D for having these wonderful cards in your store. The metallic ink based tuck case is simply stunning and every card lover should definitely buy one of these. They fan beautifully and are very durable and long lasting. The pips on these cards is very different from the normal ones and looks wonderful when you fan them. The vintage back design tells a history of its own and the story behind the ace of spades is simply wonderful. A must buy before they are all sold out. Trust me, if you dont act soon you might regret it.

These are the best bicycle cards I've ever seen. The box has metallic foil that shines and looks amazing. The cards themselves handle great. I really love that you get the vintage joker and the new joker. It really attracts attention when doing a trick with the jokers. The back looks cool and gets away from the bicycle back without getting rid of the bicycle brand. Definitely add to your cart.

This deck is a mixture of vintage deck from 1885 to today's deck. There is history of bicycle playing cards told in the deck's design. The tuck box, the vintage card back are redesigned based on the decks 125 years ago. The pips are smaller; the court cards are enlarged; and there is one of the original joker from 1885. The other joker is 2010's joker which we all used to it. Other than those 52 cards and 2 jokers, there are 2 ad cards that telling a history of bicycle playing cards.
I got both colors of these decks. The face of the cards are the same. Only the back of the cards and tuck box that features different colors. When the decks are fanned, they look great because of the smaller pips at the corner, and the years written under the pips makes the deck look greater.

One of the most subtle one way back designs I've ever seen, these cards are great! I love the metallic box and the ace of spades especially! These cards are soft yet strong which makes them great for card springs and le Paul spreads. I bought 4 decks when they first came out and still haven't opened them all yet. These cards last. 5/5

A vintage look from the outside, and the inside. The box uses metallic ink to make this an eye-catching piece of art. The cards are very springy and durable, and performs very well. The Court Cards and the Pips are those found in the old, vintage decks. The advertisement cards are worth reading, and gives a very interesting background of the United States Playing Card Company! These cards do not disappoint, but rather gives the USPCC a bold, and strong 125th Anniversary.

What really caught my eye on these, besides the foil-print box face, was the old-time style of these cards. These are pretty much meant to be a representation of what the original 1885 issue Bicycles looked like, before even the creation of the Rider Back. The deep colors of the card backs make them stand out nicely, the small corner indices and large center pips add to the authentic look and I think the Ace of Spades on this one is fantastic. This really says "turn of the century" while still handling like a well-made modern deck. What didn't I like? I know they're an anniversary issue, but why does every single card have to say so? I thought that detracted from the beauty of what would otherwise have been a beautiful recreation.

I don't know why but even if you just look at the box for these cards you know straight away you will fall in love with them. The finish is excellent and they handle like a dream. The durability is better than standard Bicycles and the back design on these cards never wears off. I would recommend them to any magician wanting not to have to buy millions of decks of standard Bikes. I guarantee you will come back wanting more and more of these cards!

These started it all again for me. I left the card scene but when I saw these I came back! The back is one of my favorites. The small pips add so much and having the old school faces is a plus.They handle well and can take a beating. I have over two bricks and couldn't be any happier.
