Man oh MAN, did I not know what to expect when picking up a deck of these cards...
...let
me just say that I am MORE than glad I did!
These cards are crazy; below is my review of
each facet.
Case:
The case of these cards is really nice as it is made of a LOT
heavier cardboard than other cases. If you are like me and don't have a card clip, then this is a
facet that you really can't overlook. These have been in the pocket of doom (which is what I call my
pocket that for some reason destroys cards) for weeks and the box hasn't even been scathed. For this
reason alone, this deck of cards is worth four dollars.
Stock:
The stock on these
babies is CRAZY awesome. Feeling smoother and easier to manipulate than ANY other bicycle deck I
have ever felt, there truly is a good reason to use re-usable inks and sustainable paper!
Color:
The colors of these cards (not just the backs either; the faces have a nice
green shade to them too) is a brilliant green color that is really nice and warm to a viewing
audience without straying from that oh-so familiar bicycle back design. If only all decks looked
like this...
Overall, I have to say that these and steamboats are tied for my favorite
deck of all time. Pick some of these up, do yourself a favour and help save the environment.
