Best $50 EVER spent. Never would have thought I'd get a limited a Reserve Note for $10, at least now I've one to open. And very happy about that, the artwork is indescribably beautiful. It truly is an injustice to never see that artwork firsthand. I'm heavily leaning towards an uncut before they sell out.

Now, who wants to trade an unopened Limited Reserve Note?? I'm willing to trade heavy!

You are aware that the contents of the Bicycle-branded version and this one are identical, right? Or am I missing something?

I think some people got confused with the Branded and Unbranded after awhile and thought the the Black Branded Reserve Note was the exact thing as the Limited Edition Reserve Note. The Black Branded Bicycle Reserve Note has similar tuckcase (vellum paper stock, red foil and even the red foil lining on the inside with the black foil for the quote), but otherwise it's the same cards as the White Reserve Note.

I got an uncut because I didn't want to open mine. Like most black cards, the other colors get lost. The red doesn't pop. Still very nice. Just muddied up a bit.

^^^^^ That
I noticed that once I opened it. Those precious, beautiful details really struggle to shine with all the black. Ridiculously beautiful deck REGARDLESS.

And the mail lady dropped these of today. Along with a half brick of Urban Punk. Sniff.....my first Kickstarter pledge!

WWI Allied Armies Deck. Tuck case is in great shape as well as the cards.

Very pleased, these were my very 1st KS decks.

Rob Wright · « **Reply #708 on:** March 18, 2014, 12:37:31 AM »

Received mine the other day to. I love the look of the decks, but I was a little surprised/disappointed. They made a big deal about the vertical Bicycle branding, but used a standard top loading tuck instead of a side loading one.

I don't recall them advertising a side-loading tuck box for this one. Having seen the Walmart Bicycle two-deck set with the logo printed in landscape orientation, it wouldn't come as a surprise to me to see a sideways face on the box and find it to be a top loader.

That one with the king on the bike. Are those a variation of standard bikes? I was wondering because they caught my eye and I am interested.

If I'm not mistaken, Machievelli is the two-deck set of the Bicycle Multicolor deck, where the suits were all a different color and the Rider Backs were black. They were ordered by Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment Design in Japan, and they're reputed to be the most expensive deck USPC made at the time they were printed (which was a number of years ago by now, since they were around before I started collecting in December of 2010). The boxed sets were identical in content but were available in four different interior colors - the outside is always black.

Fragment Design is also responsible for another Bicycle deck, the Irregular deck - the box and card faces all appear at an angle as if misprinted.

If you're referring to the one with bad robot on the front it is the new deck from theory11 called Mystery box. They collaborated with J.J Abrams and they hyped it heaps but for me I was slightly disappointed with how it seems kind of like an ad for bad robot on the case.
