Nice one!  Theres only 2 others that had already heard of, but had never seen the box, so I doubt I could have easily recognized them. Can you make another one, maybe a bit easier this time?

Easy?  Why easy?  Without the challenge, what's the point?

I could probably make a brick of all Bicycles, all company issued, no privately commissioned jobs...

Not easy, maybe easier. Just because it's kinda hard to guess decks you've never seen or heard of or even heard of their brand.

...while using brands everyone knows takes the "mystery" out of a mystery brick.  I'm surprised the topic lasted this long, frankly.
