I have purchased a lot from pokerstud and other than being very slow on emails, I have found him to be reliable.

I have found that Daniel Madison cards are pretty flimsy and these:

or this:

They have the border and the price in bulk.  Others may chip in on the feel as some of his decks may be better for what you want than others.  He offers a few with borders.

Just one opinion, but I love the white deck aces.  The back and the face cards just leave me cold so I'll pass.

As I said, just one opinion so don't lose heart.

Kickstarter shows the projects you have bid on.  Have you checked there?

Looks interesting, but I never buy a deck where they only show 3-4 cards.  Too many disappointments where the rest of the deck didn't follow through.

A link would be appreciated.

Now if they had put together a new copy of "Revelations" along with a deck, I might have been interested.

And just so you know, maybe I am getting old and crabby, but "coming soon" does nothing for me but annoy.  I want one announcement, one click through, one look to see if I am interested.  If I have to come back, it is old and boring and already has one strike against.

For anyone interested, the deck is available exclusively at Target.  It is in brown or green even though the deck it is to commemorate was red and blue.  Adding to the fun, I have the deck and while a card inside refers to the #9 deck which was never printed, they have chosen to use as the back, Autobike #3 which was printed from 1907-1917, again in red and blue, rather than the correct Autobike #2.

It is an interesting deck, Target calls it the Bicycle Retro Playing Cards Brown Deck and according to Bicycle, they are shipped both green and brown even though their system only shows brown.   The box is embossed and not glossy at all with more of an old fashioned matte finish.  Also, the seal is a retro style 5 cent tax stamp.  The cards are white not buff colored.

I can't find any links to Autobike 2 or Jim Knapp.  Can you provide his link?

Thanks, that sounds like what I am after as it is Bicycle not Tally Ho.

Very different deck.  Hard to see this getting broad appeal.

Michael Scott has posted that he would like to hear from backers on what to put on the 3 extra cards that he plans to include in the decks.

My expertise is limited so I would appreciate it if people here would give some input.  The project is barely $1200 away from funding and it looks like one of the most interesting projects I will be getting this year.

Thanks

Thanks.  Loved the Heretic deck.
