Bicycle playing cards

Postby tommio8 » Mar 15th, '11, 19:46



Hi
Please could any one tell me if there is any difference between the rider back bicycle cards and the standard bicycle cards?
I have always used the Rider back cards with Rider Back written on the box and don’t want to change from these.
I placed an order for what I thought were the Rider Back cards and they are in fact the Standard Bicycle playing cards. After emailing the Ebayer that I purchase my cards from he advised that it’s just new packaging.
I'm not too sure about this so please help.
Thanks

The packaging did change recently and, depending on who you talk to, the manufacture of the cards themselves. Bike backs are bike backs, so if there are two angels riding bikes on the back, then bike backs is what you have.

You can order the boxes sepaately from Cards4Magic if you're that purist and just re-package them in the old style box :lol:
