Worth it if you want to try out the feel of all the Cards without buying in stock.

The Ghost (Bicycle 808s)--Fun, versatile, ready out of the box. Speaking of which, the box has very nice art. Pretty good spring, but essentially the same as the good ol Bike Red 808s. Liked the look of them, nice pips, a slight shaddow on the back was a nice touch. Pretty slick. Amazing Ace of Spades...lots of detail. Loved the jokers, kind of eerie. Worth buying again.

Black Tigers (Bicycle 808s)--They're black with red pips. That's all I liked about them. The box looks kind of gaudi. Feel like they're already broken, kind of too gritty for my liking. The edges aren't clean enough...a little frayed out of the box, harder to press. Spring was okay. NOT XCM cards, but I wasn't expecting them to be. Was expecting the Ace or Jokers to be a little special...they're just monochromatic Negatives of the original 808s (sans Gaurantee print). They aren't horrible, in fact they are better than most just because of how much they "pop", but they feel like the poor man's vipers.

Black Vipers (A. Dougherty TALLY HOs)--Ellusionist did an amazing job with these. Maybe my favorite deck I've ever handled. Same finish as the other two (UV500), but slicker feel for some reason. Clean edges, beautiful red pips, a slight pewter color instead of white, and that famous Tally-Ho Ace of Spades. A very striking and elegant deck. No cons whatsoever. I WILL be buying more of these.

Overall--Glad I bought them. Let me get a feel for the different cards. Based on reviews I thought I would have liked the Tigers the most, but you never know until you try them out. Now I need to try out the Bicycle Masters Deck...

These cards are top quality, and you can not beat the great service from this seller. I have purchased from other online magic dealers, and these guys are by far the best. If you are interested in magic, you need to check out this sellers web site. You won't be disapointed!

I got the three packs a few days ago, and I just can say they're amazing. the feeling, the beauty, everything screams perfection.

I use the Black Tiger Deck to practice, and the Viper to perform. And what about the Ghost Deck...?. They're the most beautiful set of cards I've ever seen. Not only the looks, but the feeling...they move so silently in your hands, you have to feel it to believe it. I don't even want any 'untrained' hands to touch that deck, in fear that they may let them fall or something. The Ghost Deck is really a work of art.

Another thing: Have you checed the barcode on the boxes?... *wink*..have fun ;)

6 of 5 stars

The title says it. they are just simply amazing! I am by no means an expert on the subject of cards, but,speaking generaly, all three packs glide beautifly and when i set them down they don't just fly all over the table like some plastic cards ive had the displeasure of handling.

The vipers are a work of art! they get five stars right off the bat. the feel the black paint,I love the circle backs, but im a little more partial to the fan backs. the silver wasn't what i expected i expected it to be a little more shiny but they are still utterly amazing. Oh and the ace of spades is rediculously beautiful.
5/5 *****

The Tigers are a little plain. they are still much better then the original blue or red back bicycle cards. but the ghost and the viper blow it out of the water. its just not in the same league. theese are my least favorite but thats not saying much! they are still much bertter than cards i prevously owned.
4/5 ****


And last but not least, my favorite, the Ghost deck. they are in my opinion the most beautiful cards i have ever handled. The backs are stunning! and the small red pips are a genious idea, as is the shadow around the back picture. the ace of spades is amazing but it looks slightly better on the box. its a little lighter so you can see the details better. But regardless this is my favorite deck of the three and it makes up for what the tiger lacks.(which is not much)
6/5 ******

So in all they get a perfect 15/15 Oh and the actual sellers, awesome, amazon sayed they would get here between July 20th- july 26th I got them July 19th. I was completly suprised! so they get a perfect 5 as well. so in all I am extremely happy with the product and i will never go back to standard wallmart cards again! :)

these are awesome decks to have. they handle, feel and look great. the best part is that ellusionist will ship it to you quick. i got mine in a week. the ghost deck is probably the best in my opinion. the black tiger and the tally-ho chips very easy, especially the black tigers, besides the chipping they are awesome. i recommend getting these decks 5/5

The black tiger is just a really cool deck of cards. I recommend if you want to add one new and exciting thing to the game. It's kind of like getting a nicer pc once you get more into online gaming.

The custom decks of cards looked great and felt real in your hands. It makes you look twice as cooler with them. Also buying all 3 of them together does save you some money and shipping cost.

I ordered this deck set instead of ordering the three of them separately. I love all three decks, own a black ghost deck, as well as a few other amazing decks.

I'm a serious collector of card decks, and these three are capstones of my collection. I love decks like these, especially with the Bicycle name on two of them.

One of the decks is titled Black Deck Tiger and the other is called Ghost. I bought this trio for the Ghost mostly. I have non-Hodgkins-lymphoma and my continued presence is in some doubt for my poker group. I thought that Ghost might be a good gag for them. It was but... They were a little spooked about playing with the deck. And, as we are mostly 60+ more than a few of the guys were not inclined to play without the large imprint cards that we now customarily play with.

I have been using the Black Deck Tiger set for playing real-life solitaire and other games at home. We've had fun with them.

I gave the red deck to my son-in-law as soon as they arrived. I've heard no complaint from him.

I personally like the tiger cards only because they are red and black. But the other decks are equally nice and cool!
