I'm finding Hoyles now in Poker, Jumbo and Bridge size.

I know you can get a carton of Bikes at Price Club/Costco 10 for $12

Just opened a pack of Hoyles--I see what you mean!

Listen guys, these Hoyles have really held up well! After being warned against them for so long, I am now quite impressed.

I went back and bought a few more decks to make gaffs out of. They split easily and look great once they're dried and flattened.. So now I have some double backs double faces, etc. I think I may file a deck down for a stripper. Will let you all know how it goes.

I was told stay away from Hoyle's and go with the Industry standard-Bikes. But, I found the Bikes never held up to well.

The Hoyle's are brighter ( the backs ). I like the faces better, too.

Cards By Martin made me some gaffs ( Double backers, etc.) So, I'm all set.

I find the Tally Ho's smooth to the touch, and they wear like Iron.

I personally prefer bikes but I'll be happy with any deck. You'll never know what deck a nasty spectator would give you. For practical reasons ,I'd stick with the bikes. They're cheaper ,the sell by cartons and best of all a good 90% of the gaffed cards and decks out in the market are bike backed.
