Bicycle Carnival Secrets Decks
Almost kind of a deck
Because
Aside from the different colors on the tuck case
They are the same colors
Unfortunately
This is by
Limited
LimitedEditionManiac.com
Link will be in the description
They sell all sorts of limited decks on the website
I don't
Know how
You know
How
Good of a website is
How safe it is
But it's there
Let me just check it out
This was actually on the Kickstarter project they did
But I got this on the Bicycle Cards website
That's where I first found out about it
Saw it
I will point out that
I'm not entirely sure how the project started
Considering
There were some pledges
There were some tiers
That didn't even have any pledges
Like how do you sell a deck
1200 available on your tier
And not one sells
I don't know
But it did
They must have had some big backers
That just threw money at it
I don't know
This obviously has a bit of a carnival theme to it
It says Bicycle Carnival Secrets on the front
It's got some nice foil and embossing
Bit of a matte stock
It actually says on the
QSPC
On the Bicycle website
That this is a
Special QP
Tuck case with embossing
Never heard of that before
But there it is
It just feels like it's a matte tuck
With foil and embossing
It's a blend of mystery and artistry
It's luxurious and functional
It's how it's designed to be
It does have numbered seals
As you'll see
That's the front
And what it is
Is blue and base
I kind of prefer the blue one
With the gold foil on it
But that's just me
On the other side
On the top
Seals
On the bottom
I don't know who designed them
And then here's the back design
Which is the same on both
Numbered at
2200 on the stamped seals
2101
2171
On the flaps
There is some trademark stuff
Couple little masks
It's got kind of a
Mask theme to it as well
I swear this one
A little bit better I think
The cards
Again as you can see
Are exactly the same
But there is
An NSE with this one
That I'll show you
I'll put that one aside
If you need an ad card
Sign up on the website
Here's the back design
It is a one way
With that mask thing going on there
Pretty nice
Outside of that
And then you got a
Double back there
And if you look closely
You might see something
That is not quite right
I'll show you better with this one
The Joker
Look at the color
In here
And compare it to this
It's not the same
Flip it over
It's also not the same
And this card is also the same thing
This one is actually fine
I think
You know what it is now
I think I'm noticing
I'm mistaken
Well actually it's still
No it's not
It's just weird
Because it's right down one corner
On the bottom and on the top
It's a whiter color
So I thought I was making a misprint
I guess I just had the cards upside down
There it is
My bad
But you got that, you got the ad card
And the Joker
Which has a
Haunted house type of thing
Masks in the corners
And this one is all in the dark
This one I think has a moon
And it's signing on
And it's actually moon imaged
Almost a
Diptych type thing
Ace of spades
Looks like that
Nice and fancy
Nice custom tips and everything on the cards
And the court cards
They've got interesting
Custom artwork
Almost a
Kind of creepy
And then
That's nice
Xam and everything
Nice
3D type
On the tips
And
You have the pirates
The ape pirates
I'm seeing what the elements is
That's creepy looking from
And then there's
These orbs
This one looks like a royal lease
And yeah
I don't know much about
You know
Things and everything
But it's kind of a thing
It is on a
It says it's on a premium grade stock
I'm guessing it's a B stock
It's pretty nice
In the grand scheme of things
This one again is exactly
The same
And the artwork
Is that
It has a different tuck base
So it's the same thing
Different tuck base
I'm not a big fan of
They could have
I don't think there's a difference in the color
They could have
Made it a different color
Maybe a
Reverse color scheme
Where
This blue part would be
And the base parts would be blue
I don't know if that would work
But
They just printed a whole bunch of decks
A project that
Looked like it barely had any support
And they just
They printed way too many
They said this is done 1.1 of 2500
And not 2
Of 2200
So it's 4400 decks
Including gilded decks
So yeah
I don't know
It does seem like it's
The named carnival theme
There's some clowns in there
But it just feels like it's a mismatch
It's a nice stocking
It's a nice back design
It's one way
And again
I'm disappointed by
The tuck swap
Between them
So I would say
Give it a B minus
It's nice
Maybe even just a B
I don't really appreciate the tuck swap
For no reason
But I'll tell you that
It's pretty nice
Let me know in the comments
See you next time
