Do they have regular Bikes with Purple backs? Not fashion cards but 808 cards?

Rannie, I think (please correct me otherwise) the faces do have a white background on the orange backed cards.
cfrancis - no purple has not yet hit the market. On July 3rd, I made the bold prediction that purple will be the next different color for Rider Backs. Right now the line in Las Vegas is -120! :) Kaylan |

Yes it does Kaylan. The other pastel colored bikes do not.

Purple would be wonderful. I've had an idea for a blue, red backed transpo which ends with the backs turning purple: part red and part blue.

I can think of at LEAST a dozen effects that call for different backs at the same time. It is easier to make Dingle's "Poor Charlie" for instance than it was only a few years ago. Imagine the NICE gaffs you can make for "Strangers Gallery". How about Michael Kaminska's "Rainbow Connection" or Jim Swain's "Capitulating Queens"?
A great Sam Schwartz effect called Backflip, "HyperMonte" from Apocalypse and dozens more! I remember when the only variety to be had was the cheapo bridge cards or if you were near a Magic shop, bridge size Fox Lakes. Thing is, the cheapo bridge decks were highly impractical because they had so many disparate back colurs and card face designs. Think on our good fortune now in this short list: Bikes: red, blue, green, orange, black, Ghost, Black Tiger Bikes: League Backs!! Tallys: Red, Blue (plus the Viper from E)in fan and wheel design Squeezers: Red, Blue WPT: red, blue, white, black, and a whole host of nice back designs Bees: red, blue (imagine how cool Black Bees would be as they would make the classic Monte hype even more obscured! Steamboats: Red and blue Texans True, the orange decks as a MAIN performing deck are a bit much, but colour changing deck routines are even more hard hitting with the bright colour. Best, Vlad |

Nice point, Vlad...IMO I also think that these new different colored backs are great for packet effects.

If a guy has Martini's DVD and can gaff up his own cards, these different colored backs hold a lot more potential than is first apparent.
Imagine an Orange/Red double backer, or an Orange/blank card, Tactical/Yellow double backer!!.....on and on it could go. These are quite amazing if you get into splitting them and making up your own packet variations. Like Airship, three decks is a nice number for playing around with. Considering the price of other things in life cards are cheap if you're a hobbyist. I've been gaffing up some Split Spades and Texan Palmetto cards lately, and once you start it's hard to stop! |

THIS IS TRUE:
USPCCo is releasing a rainbow deck It will be released on Gay Pride day and the Ace of Spades is split so that it shows a definite eJ (Elton John) Lance Bass will be signing the cards as keep sakes for the thousands of screaming teen age girls who will covet them for ever. LOOK AT THE EYES OF THE QUEEN OF SPADES - George Micheals?? and the JOKER when held upside down - well buy the deck and you will see for yourself I think the Priori of Sion is distributing it

Heres a question for you guys. Do Tally-Ho's have the same faces as the Bike decks? Not the Ace of Spades or the Jokers but are the spot and court cards the same as color as the regular Bike decks?
thanks

Bicycle, tally-ho, bee, bulldog squeezers, steamboat, aviator, etc. all have the same faces.
hoyle and texans have different face artwork/fonts. |
