  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
They're canceled, usually with a saw raggedly cutting off one of the corners and marker stripes on the edges.  They're great for packet tricks that destroy a card or for the kids to play Go Fish with, but that's about it to me.  Uncanceled decks are a totally different story.

Basically, for a buck, you're getting what you paid for.

When you buy those decks in lots, you can get uncanceled. I bought Aristocrats and PlanetHollywood, and they were as good as new.

Canceled decks that have corners cut arent very recommendable, i only use those for practicesessions.
Game or Thrones is addicting

Usually, the only time uncanceled decks hit the market, they're sold sealed and new, and they usually become available when the casino switches deck backs/colors so that model is no longer used on the floor.  I'm pretty sure it's illegal to not cancel a used deck.  I've never seen a legit uncanceled deck sell for a buck - only the Chinese counterfeits.
