Hey guys,

Another new deck is on the way from Bicycle.  This will be a USPC direct release.





Thanks to Mike from BMPoker for the info.

That back looks AWFULLY familiar...  (coughCARCcoughPROBIKEScough)...

At least it looks cool!

As usual, CBJ, you're a font of information and much appreciated.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they would do that.  That CARC release wasn't that long ago

There's a bit of backstory to it.  Let's just leave it at "This is a very old USPC back design, long though lost..."  Plus this edition is probably simpler and less costly (a.k.a. standard Bicycle stock and standard finish).  Why USPC insists on making poor-man's versions of these custom decks is beyond me - it's like what happened with the bronze Steam Punk deck, the one color T11 never sold.
