I would be very careful buying something like this off ebay

great, thanks for the input. i guess if it was anything worth carrying, some of the major online magic sellers would.

and why exactly would the Joker have any marks on it anyway?
and who else noticed the cards in the picture being 9, jack, queen, king, ace? surely there should be a 10?

I wound't trust that, if I'm going to buy anycards online I think I would buy them from the creator of the cards not ebay.

thats what i was thinking! the joker is probably blank on the back. i think i may get an exacto knife and mark my own bikes.

In which case you'd probably be the only person on the planet who would know for sure how to interpret your cards - can't be bad, go for it :wink: !

Bikes are dead easy to mark, with a little thought you should be able to come up with a good system. One tip I've descovered, when using marked cards, only mark one end of the deck and have that end closest to the spec, they're much less likely to spot any marks then. Not that they ever do anyway.

The whole advert looks wrong to me, something not right here! do as others say and get from a dealer or the manufacturer

As far as my knowledge into marked cards go, the only USPCC printed marked deck is the Boris Wild's... Magicians and manufacturers will come up with a marking system and mass mark decks and sell them that way but there's only Boris' to my knowledge....(at least that's what I remember him telling me when I bought one off of him)..........Cheers, JPV.
