Steamboats & New Fan Backs: D&D collaborations with USPC [new decks]

[Michael]

D & D did something weird with my order and I got 2 fan backs by accident, I don't know whether I want a second fan back in blue or if I want to trade it in for the NEW steamboats, since I already have the old ones. I really love the box on these Fans though. I'd totally use these for an every day deck

Did you order one NFB and one Steamboat?

I do honestly love the new Steamboats. They feel great and is a pretty decent deck overall. I don't know how well they'll hold up because I only broke them in to my satisfaction and haven't used hem since.

I just noticed something that left me a bit confused...

I guess this was the first time I broke out the maroon red NFBs and navy blue NFBs at the same time - otherwise I'm sure I would have spotted this before.

The maroon red deck has red cards that are similarly maroon/dark red in color, like casino decks.

The navy blue deck has red cards that are colored Bicycle/USPC standard red!  It's kind of bright in comparison and a little jarring if you see them side by side.

To me, that would make this deck pair terrible for poker and possibly a bad choice for certain color changes.

In the event anyone was interested, D&D are now selling both of these designs as part of their line of stripper decks, complete with cheesy "stripper on pole" deck seals, for $14.95 each, making them probably the cheapest strippers they've carried to date.

They also appear to have either restocked or never quite sold out of their Arrco Tahoes in red and blue with serial-numbered deck seals.  They even have the cheesy foil wrapping that Dealing Deuces created!  $11.95 a pack, while they last...

Thanks for the heads up.
I just love the backs on those Arrco Tahoes and the NFBs Red.
Have to get some of those soon.

You also get a standard deck of matching color with each stripper deck ordered (according to their site).

You know, I'd forgotten that!  That makes these an even better bargain.  I'm simply curious if they're cut the same as the earlier stripper decks - those were professional-grade, with a very shallow cut to them.  It made them more difficult to use, but at the same time they were virtually impossible to detect.  I really liked them - I got a blue Bee Diamond Back and a EATCT deck with that cut.
