Oy Vey.

I've never been this deck before, but from the looks of it, it's a complete and shameless rip-off of Bee 92 playing cards.




You can buy a pack of standard Bees for about $3 online. They're fantastic cards.
As for these, I'd say "stay away".

I can confirm that these are knockoffs of Bee decks made in China.  Yours is interesting - if the photo is the exact product, they're actually using the Cartamundi joker.  The quality is crap, they're useless for anything other than tricks that destroy cards.

I own a few BCG decks, they are toxic slime. Like Don said, China's rip-offs (one of many). Also, wrong board! (Moving now)

MrMollusk - I remember the company that you got that first Bee image from.  Stay away.  Modern Bee decks don't have monochrome faces, but many of the counterfeits do.  I was helping Bill Schildman about two years ago with tracking down people selling counterfeit Bees in my area.  USPC knows that shutting down the printer will be impossible, so they're trying to target the distributors.

The NYPD has an entire unit dedicated to retail counterfeiting - it's forced a lot of shops on Canal Street to get "creative" when trying to sell knockoff watches and Coach bags.  Some gave up and only sell legit goods, but it's hard to compete.

EDIT: wow, Alex - I didn't even spot that!  :))

Whoops. I just Googled "Bee 92" and snatched up the first images I found.
Thanks!

I've handled these cards in the summer of 2012 and I thought they were great, but I didn't knew how a uspcc deck handled back then. I still want a real bee deck but international shipping is holding me of.
