At times this industry can be rather confusing. Thanks for clearing that up Don.
Looking sharply at the 807s on bicyclecards.com, I can only see one side of the box, and it reads "Air Cushion Finish" and "Made in U.S.A.". It has a black seal, but it's hard to say with certainty what changes there are to the tuck, if any - the bottom isn't visible either. But if they follow the pattern they've been following with their own recent products and not custom releases, the bottom of the new deck will have the fine print on it, while the opposite side will likely list the company's address in Erlanger. But the fact that they're calling them 807s instead of 808s tells me that perhaps there would be the older box number on the bottom instead of the fine print - but they still would need to put the current city of manufacture on it, since the company doesn't maintain any more operations in Cincinnati, as far as I know.
I wish, both the Target and Wal-mart in my area have the ugly "about us" backs - those tuck boxes are worthless - how am I supposed to hide a card on the outside of the box with that tuck?
And that was why there was such a demand for the older, classic boxes - enough to get USPC to do something about it... Plus old farts like me remember the old boxes and prefer them to the new ones!
BTW: you could try using a Mandolin Back or Maiden Back box, until you can lay hands on the 807s. Most people wouldn't look closely enough to be able to tell the difference.
