NEW DECKS- Pandora Vine Back Deck

[Evan]

A Facebook page that sells decks in Asia posted these for sale but I've never heard or/seen them.
The flap looks like it says Bicycle.

They are printed at USPCC, and have custom court cards.

You can buy them from

For a custom deck, thats a good price. And the brick promotion is definitely a plus.
I just want to find a place in the U.S. that sells them so that shipping will be cheaper.

[CBJ]

Well, they told me custom court cards.. but I just came across this..

The picture in that link does show custom court cards and they look alright from what I can see.

Look closer my friend. The courts are indeed custom to an extent. Coloration, facial expressions

Nice catch, but that's barely custom, it's almost only recolored.

Theres no "barely custom"
Custom court cards are custom court cards....

So, do you have to be a Facebook user in order to buy their products? I am not on Facebook and when I follow the link in this thread I can see some info, but I don't see how to purchase the decks.

Does anyone else feel that everything is just starting to look the effing same??? Pandora, Pirate, Vision, Cage Gardens, etc...  I'd love to pick up everything I see, but I've got to tell you it's all starting to blend together...

(I will tell you, I folded and picked up a Mana & I happen to like it... It's a good looking deck...)

Yeh, I'm not sure why a lot of new decks have 1-Color Black backs. It's almost like the designers are afraid to use color!

I'm guessing some designers think that the cost difference of printing a 1-Color back is more desirable over a higher-priced 4-Color Process back. Personally, I would choose rich and vivid 4-Color back designs (Vaudeville, Americana, Vortex, Tendril, Ornate!) over a 1-Color back anyday.

thanks, Randy

They sell through email also. They do not have a catalogue as such, but if you know what you're looking for, try emailing them at asiamagicshopfb@yahoo.com

Nice find Hondo...you just saved me a bunch of money by switching to Geico..........

The designs are nice but it doesn't really attract me like what the other
decks did (Mana, Seasons, Vortex)

[Dudeee]

Can someone tell us more about the stock and finish?

Perhaps a review?

Yeah, I can just pull facts out of my butt...  Dudeee - dude!  The deck JUST came out, and from a source that's relatively unknown.  We know as much about it as you do right now, or someone would have said as much. 

If these were really costly, I'd say pass, but hell, you can get them for barely more than standard Bikes.  I'd be at least curious enough to check them out.

I dig what some people were saying about the one-color back as opposed to some of the newer four-color designs, but you have to admit that until VERY recently, nearly all non-bridge playing cards were one-color backs. especially the more classic designs.  There's a certain elegance to it, when done right.

[sinsandman]

I picked some up. I'll do a written review for you guys.

[cosmicsecret]

my fav. magicshop in germany got them in stock as well for 5.90€ a deck.
i doubt that those are limited to 5000.
personally i like the design because its a elegant looking deck.
the color combo is good looking to me and the gaff card which is incl. is very usefull! (speaking of the queens)
i will pick up 2 of each deck

[ReaganM]

Those look really fantastic and I dont think 6.50 is a bad price at all.

Um, you did notice the post where you could buy them for a mere $4.40 a pack, right? 

[chisairi]
