The first-ever factory edge-marked Bicycle Rider Backs are here!

This is a great milestone in the world of marked playing cards. We have managed to mark the iconic Bicycle Rider Backs on their edges. They now possess the same powers as our Butterfly Playing Cards, while maintaining a familiar look.

What can you do with these?

• Cut to any card from a shuffled deck.
• Easily find a selected card after it’s been selected and returned to the deck while you were turned away.
• Stack a Royal Flush or all four Aces in just a few shuffles, without challenging memory or technical work.
• And much more!

This is the second deck of Marked Rider Backs we have produced in collaboration with the United States Playing Card Company. It keeps the marking system from the first edition and adds a new edge marking system.

We hid the markings in an apparently random pattern, which gives the cards an old and worn look. That’s where the name Vintage Back comes from. It also resembles cotton paper used for banknotes or marble.

These are the main features of the Bicycle Vintage Back Playing Cards:

• A two-way edge marking system
• A one-way edge marking system
• A marking system from the first Marked Bicycle Rider Backs
• A one-way back design (there are actually two)
• One-way faces
• Special marks for riffle stacking a Royal Flush in Spades and the four Aces
• Included a blank face card
• All four Aces have large center pips

Ondrej explains the marking system and the many other secrets of this deck in a tutorial included within the deck.

There is one more special card included in every deck for your feedback. As you will use these cards, you might find something to improve or add. All suggestions are welcome, and Ondrej will go through all of them. We want to make this deck the best it can be with your help.

Only 1.000 decks were printed. They were equally split between us and the USPC. Bicycle Cards offer these with a metallic silver Designer Series seal. Our decks don’t have a seal.
