New Black Cards? (Not Vipers, Tigers, or Ghosts)

Postby trickyricky » Jan 4th, '06, 17:00



I found some new cards in a store the other day (well, they're new to me at least.) The black suits have black faces and silver pips like the Vipers. But the cards that normally have red pips have silver faces and black pips. And the backs are not normal bicycle backs, they just have the same kind of back as it appears on the box. Does that make sense? I will post some pics here as soon as i find my camera.

I have also found another deck that have white faces and the black suits have black pips, but the red suits have pips that are silver, but on a white background.

Has anybody else seen these? Or even for sale in England at all?? Because i got them froma store in America and i only got one pack of each so i dont want to use them incase i ruin them!!

Try www.cards4magic.co.uk and check out the new lines just in - item 12 as you scroll down. Mine arrived this morning along with the mini Ghost decks (item 15) I ordered (only yesterday afternoon!)

I bought a few of these decks. They're pretty sweet, actually. The only detractor is that they're not rider backs.

For anyone in the states - here's some great news:

The two decks described here can be found in almost all Target stores.

Also - check out your local Walgreen's - They're currently selling a 4-pack of bikes that have 2 black backed decks in them. The set is $9.99. This looks like a special, so get them while they're hot!

With the black rider backs, now I can split the Target ones and slap a black rider back on them and I'm good to go.

No, it's not a league back design. Really, it looks like an amalgamation of the the rider back and tuck case design. Here you go:

All-in-all it's really nice, and it's a very cool change to do some interesting back color changes. It should be noted that the "silver" is really gray and not a metallic silver. However, they still look cool.

That's rather cool. Wonder if I should get the black or silver one...

Yes i got them from Target. They were quite reasonably priced as well. Only about $3 a pack or somthing like that. I also got some pink/purple bikes, and pack of blue and pack of pink see through bikes. All in all i think i got quite a nice hoard!
