So I want to buy arrco's and arrco tahoe's, are they worthy to buy? I know the original arrco tahoe's were great, but are the reprints also good?

Wha?

D&D never reprinted Arrco's as far as I know. Dealing Deuces did, though, and they're pretty neat and handle well.

The originals, sealed, cost about $600 for a set, soooo...

I'm guessing D&D did. . . . http://shop.dananddave.com/playing-cards/arrco-tahoe.html

I am pretty sure that is just D&D selling the Dealing Deuces reprints, I could be wrong since I have been super busy and might have missed something... but I believe D&D have had those in their store since Dealing Deuces made the reprints.

I have the white reprint of the arrco tahoe. The finish is a lttle scratchy like the Sentinels out of the box but the cards smoothen out in time. I recommend it for intermediate flourishers.

I'd call the Tahoes better than the standard Arrco reprints, perhaps with the exception of the White Arrcos, which used Magic Finish.  My Arrco reprints got a bit clumpy, but the Tahoes remained great.  And yes, I believe that D&D were selling Dealing Deuces reprint decks on the Tahoes, though when they were selling regular Arrcos, those were the Cincinnati-made decks created before USPC discontinued the line, not the reprints.

USPC prints no more decks under the Arrco name, though they still print two old Arrco brands: Streamline and Maverick.  US-made Streamlines are great, and WalMart sells them for a buck a pack, while Mavericks are probably the worst deck USPC makes - and technically, they don't make them, having contracted out to a Chinese company to print them.  They're everything you'd imagine a 99-cent store deck to be - and less.  Don't even imagine doing a faro shuffle with them - ain't gonna happen.
