My personal playing card collection continues to grow with the addition of this Raider deck from the Magic Network. The box that the cards came in looked less than official (graphics were pixelated, front image was not aligned perfectly), so that led me to believe that this deck of cards was made without the knowledge of The US Playing Card Company. Of course, these Magic Network-commissioned cards do not feature the classic Rider back but instead feature a unique back graphic that consists of two large spades and some other elements.
The card faces are black with white clubs and spades and red hearts and diamonds. Despite my doubts about the authenticity of this deck, the cards to feel exactly the same as my other Bicycle cards and that’s really all I care about. Still as smooth as ever. Thanks Ivy!

If you follow @doobybrain, you might have already seen these, but for those of you who are anti-Twitter, here you go: the Bicycle yellow playing card deck.
It comes with two “trick” cards (shown below) which look like they are misprinted. This deck, once again, is courtesy of Ivy!

I’ve been wanting this deck forever and Ivy managed to get one for me from half way around the world! If you’re interested, the Bicycle Tetra Deck
is $10 on Amazon.com.

Simon inadvertently purchased this Bicycle Ribbon Deck for me last night as we were out at the supermarket grabbing groceries. This deck is similar to the pink deck I already own (see here) except that it features the pink ribbon on every single card to remind you that you helped the Breast Cancer Research Foundation with this purchase.
Check out the images below and buy your own Bicycle Pink Breast Cancer Ribbon Playing Cards
at Amazon.com for just over $2. It’s for a good cause. :)
