Are the studs with the old boxes from ohio a deck with excellent handling? How do they compare with bikes and tally's?

Studs, old and new, are pretty much on par with comparable Bicycle decks of the same period; same materials used to make them both.  They're not exceptional, but they are solid performers with an attractive deck back and classic Arrco faces - some magicians preferred them.  Back when they were still in print, they typically sold about a dollar less than a pack of Bikes.  I still think Walgreens was not thinking straight when they opted to drop this brand and replace it with Play Right decks.

They're a good find if you can get them at a reasonable price.

I couldn't agree more, we used to buy them by the dozen (i still have about 25 or so left). they were inexpensive (compared to anything else on the market) mind you this was when tally ho's were $4.99 a pc. at most magic retailers. but they performed as well as any bike deck out there and looked good doing it. One of the best things about this deck, for me, was they originally came with four jokers and no ad cards. the extra jokers came in handy all the time.
