I have Red and a Blue regular Rider Back sheets (not Jumbo index).  I picked them up years ago on ebay.  This was maybe around 2000-2002, somewhere in that range.
 
They don't seem to pop up quite so often these days.  I don't know how often they get out of the factory.
 
I don't really have much advice for where to find one, aside from keeping your eye out around any magic sales/auction sites, ebay, etc.

Hey Reylek, how much did you get them for? Around $30?

This site shows the blue jumbo for a mere $15:

Gambler's General Store is the official retailer for USPC/Bicycle.  I'm betting if you ask, they probably also stock red and standard index - maybe even bridge sized.  It would be strange if that was the only color/index/size combo they offered.

In the gallery, the "Recycled" card is using a modified Rider Back.  That's a SINGLE CARD, while you mentioned the entire deck - as I will quote:

that explain why arcane gaff deck is mandolin back

If you are referring to a single card, then REFER TO A SINGLE CARD rather than the whole deck.  We aren't mind readers, we can't figure out what you're referring to if you don't state it CLEARLY.  I can understand that English isn't your first language, but please be more careful if you want to be understood - unless you're just interested in inflating your post count, in which case, just give up now.

I too got them around that time from eBay. The framed picture is indeed a normal faced sheet. I had a blue sheet as well but the frame broke. I bought a Red Riderback, Blue Riderback, and Blue Bee uncut sheet for about $9 a piece. That was during a time when they didn't charge people for uncut sheets. I'm assuming the seller had once worked at USPCC because I've never seen them actually for sale (with the exception of the jumbo index link). Maybe these are the most rare sheets of them all! I kid. But for a man who loves his classics, this was a must-have.

I'd wager the other standard Bike styles are available.  It sounds odd that they'd only offer blue jumbo index.  Has anyone contacted GGS customer service to inquire?

Maybe someone who wants a sheet should try asking the USPC who has them.  When you go to the source, you're likely to get the best info.
