Yeah, I'm aware that Turner's Gold Decks aren't new. I have a stock of them from when they were first released. But, I have been out of the game for several years - does he still produce them? And if so, are the newer ones no longer on Casino stock? That I don't know, and I couldn't find info elsewhere on this either.

Out of curiosity, what kind of Bicycle deck were you thinking of havine made?

I guess they decided to lock down the Bicycle branding even down to the stock huh.

I wasn't aware that Bicycle had its own casino grade stock. What decks were made with this separate casino stock, do you happen to know?

Hey Ender - yup, they have returned to the same pattern on front and back, though I think the decks are still not as thick or robust as my mid-90's decks.

That's cool about the Cartamundi B9 True Linen. I've heard also that the Jerry's Nuggets got their legendary feel from different pattern on front and back too. Maybe I should have kept some of those front/back different Bikes!

Don, thanks for your post above, I know it was over a year ago but it was helpful to read!

Do you remember the Conjuring Arts decks? Their smooth one they called "Ivory Finish." Guessing that was just marketing for the same smooth finish that would have been on the old Aviators, etc. huh.

Didn't realize that about the forcible use of set %-age of post-consumer content. Do you know when this came about? I guess it lends another factor to why blue seals / Ohio-made may be better.
