What is the highest quality deck of Bicycle playing cards that you guys have USED. I would appreciate it if you posted your favourite card retailer and the pros/cons of each deck you recommend. I prefer paper cards with a nice finish, plastic for me are less desirable. Thank you guys so much!

There's a lot of ways one can define "highest quality."  One person's best deck might not be another's - different people have different criteria for what's the highest quality.

I'm rather partial to the Gold Seal Bicycle Professional decks designed by Richard Turner - they're still available, affordable, made on Bee Casino grade stock and traditionally cut for good shuffling out of the box.  I also like some old Tally-Ho decks, the ones made prior to the company's move from Cincinnati to Erlanger - they used to use a really good grade of stock and had better quality control over the printing.  But technically they aren't Bicycles, so you might not be interested.

Consider decks from other manufacturers as well as other USPC brands.  USPC makes a pretty good smooth deck in the Aladdin brand.  Legends Playing Card Company (LPCC) and Expert Playing Card Company (EPCC) also make some top-notch decks that often exceed the quality of what USPC puts out, especially compared to USPC's modern decks.  USPC owns a Spanish subsidiary, Fournier, that makes some really good decks as well, and I'm personally rather partial to decks from the Angel Playing Card Company out of Osaka, Japan.
