1 Comment

Its Sunday. the end of may. Another short day. We’ll go with Orange Rider Backs today. which means i don’t have to write as much because they’re quite similar in awesometasticness to green bicycles. Lets go.

Name: Bicycle 808 Orange

Date: 5.31.2009

Cost: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○ ○

Well, I haven’t really stated it, but cost is the factor against quality and availability and such.

Orange bicycles. They’ll run you around 5-6 a pack wherever you find them.

Readily available at many, many online stores. You should look around for the better price. I think I went with mjmmagic for these.

Like the Green Bicycles. Emits only excellence. That black seal on the back of the box must be for awesome,,,,unlike black seals found elsewhere : /. Basically, what all bicycles should look to be.

I need work on my fans. But these turn out nicely, even if you(read: I) suck. No…cards do not make you better…its just an illusion of making you better.

-Okay, so instead of yesterday’s green bicycles, these are FRICKIN’ ORANGE !

Ahem.

I think they were made for some magic company. Mjm? I should do more research. But that’s what rambling is all about. Unfortunately, the pricing is a little higher than usual. Between green and orange, I’d prefer green for simplicity and cost. Orange is…a little on the high end of cards. But cost doesn’t matter..at the moment..heheh..highly recommended nonetheless.

The deck seemed opened/brand new when I got it. The box says armor finish. I love how they come up with these names. If I had my own line, I’d call it … uhh….who knows…? Naming is difficult. Fanning capabilities = above average. Snappiness,,, well done. They’re like PGC Professional Gambling Cards in terms of what I have in my stash. Except its Gemaco…perhaps an underdog of sorts when it comes to providing decks of cards for casinos, right after Bee and others…uhhh yea…seems like these would hurt if you use them for throwing.

In the upper half as far as casino cards go. Not bad.

Back Design: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○○ ○

The Gemaco is like a silly offshoot of bee. I should look into which came first sometime. I’d bet on bee…anyways… Instead of red diamonds, you have red circles. If you stare at them long enough, they go blurry. Casino logo doubles on the back, but that’s it….Standard casino fare?

Gemaco : Please note that the court cards have a personality now.

Hot shot cut: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○  ○ ○

The cards are quite crisp. So you can actually hear them ‘shoot’ ,,, at least,,more audibly than say,,local retail store bikes. Which bend. Instead of snap. And shoot. Good stuff.

-Gemaco casino cards. They’re made in the U.S.A. These specific ones were made in Missouri for Carson City Nugget. Uhhhh. Right…The face cards are..amusing. The box has a cut out window. Cut out,,which means you  should leave a joker on the box to protect the rest of the deck. I left the nine of hearts. And now its all spotty. Bleh. At least casino card boxes today have a film over them or no opening at all. Minus points there Gemaco. But its casino quality and armor finish. Love that name…hmm just noticed that the front of the gemaco box has that circle motif thing. Turns out that’s whats on the back of the cards. Gemaco cards seem to be the type you’d love to burn through for practice sessions.
