(August 17, 2026) This is Week 33 of My Playing Cards series! Every Monday, I’ll be showing 12 decks of cards that mostly have a theme into it! This one has a variety of old style playing cards. Some distressed, some exquisite backs!

So far, I’ve shared 396 decks of cards! Please stay tuned for more playing cards to show from my collection every Monday!

First, we have Bicycle Cyclist playing cards. They come in three different colors. Red, Blue and Neon Yellow. They were released in 2015. There is an error on the 10 of Diamonds from all of the Cyclist decks. It had 9 diamonds instead of 10.

Next comes the Nautic Back playing cards. They were vintage Bicycle back designs that were introduced in 1919 and discontinued around 1943. They reproduced the back in Hot Pink and White in 2013 which is what you’re looking at! They reproduced this Nautic Back a few other times.

The Bicycle Rhapsody decks come in 2 colors. Maroon and Purple. I’ll admit, I just threw these decks into this mix. (Most of the deck group planning was from last year. So I had sorted some of these groups months in advance) The hearts and diamonds are in a darker color and the face cards have warmer colors.

The last five decks I’ll mention are four of the Bicycle Expert Back Distressed playing cards and the 127th Anniversary Old Fan Back. They actually came in three colors, Red, Blue and Green. There is also an extra distressed Red in this lot. The Expert Back is a modified Old Fan Back. I believe the Expert Back was introduced in 1898 while the Old Fan Back was the very first Bicycle back design ever created in 1885. The existence of a 127th Anniversary deck is strange. It only comes in one color (Red), and it does not have an increment of 5 for an anniversary deck. It’s basically a copy and paste of 2010’s 125th anniversary playing cards.

Level 34 preview: We have stick figures, strange dances, glass material, and a fall season of playing cards coming up!

Went inside a McDonald’s that still had the old building! I only took one photo of the interior.

This McDonald’s still had those colorful chairs for kids to eat!

I remember going in that play place when I was younger in the 2000s! Fun times. My parents would watch me play with the other kids! You had to put your sneakers on one of those shoe shelves so they’ll be safe.

This McDonald’s has not changed since the 1990s! Still had the neon “PLAYPLACE” sign even though it seen some deteriorating damage.

Hello crayon collectors and artists! Just wanted to share another one of my Crayola gems from my personal collection!

This was the biggest crayon package they came out with at the time! (Besides classpack packages) There’s 200 crayons inside this compact bucket!

The bucket itself does have some damage. The front cover and the lid are both showing some damage. Other than that, the crayons themselves are in pristine condition!

I did take some photos showing the close up of the crayons in the crayon bucket!

The shocking discovery I just made as I was taking crayon photos was that torch red AND scarlet are in the same package!

After some further looking around, I did not see thistle or indian red/chestnut inside this bucket.

But it does include dandelion (x2), blizzard blue, magic mint, mulberry (x2) and teal blue (x2)!

There’s actually over 100 different crayons inside this bucket with a lot of duplicates!

This is a rare Crayola package that has some history in it! Hope you’ll discover one in your online browsing or browsing in thrift shops!

What’s your rarest Crayola product in your collection? (Can be anything Crayola related and not just crayons)

(August 10, 2026) This is Week 32 of My Playing Cards series! Every Monday, I’ll be showing 12 decks of cards that mostly have a theme into it! This week, we’re focusing on Bee playing cards! One of USPCC’s most popular brands, known for their casino quality feel!

So far, I’ve shared 384 decks of cards! Please stay tuned for more playing cards to show from my collection every Monday!

Those nine decks on the left are vintage Bee backs. The Squeezers Backs uses the vintage Bee tuck box designs. These Bee Smith Back playing cards have a smooth Ivory Finish and the Bee Acorn Back has an embossed Cambric Back. Although both Ivory and Cambric finish variants do exist for the Bee Smith and Acorn backs!

S.W. Erdnase published a book called “The Expert at the Card Table”. Although the author’s name is actually a mystery. I happen to have a deck of cards called “The Expert at the Card Table”. His name is featured on most of those Bee decks.

Those two metallic decks are called Silver Stinger and Gold Stinger. Those have black fronts on the playing cards with metallic pips and a Diamond Back with metallic colors and a black border. (The spades and clubs matches the color of those Stinger decks)

Level 33 preview: More antique back designs with some distressed styled playing cards.

While browsing at the stationery aisle at a Shop Rite, I found some boxes of 64 crayons with America’s 250th Birthday featured on it! So I got one box!

I know u/Gar-Supreme already made a post showing off all the crayons from America’s 250th Birthday, so I asked his permission to post this, I got his approval!

I did two different layouts of America’s 250th Birthday crayons! One by alphabetical order and one by statehood order!

I did the statehood order layout so I can compare that to 2004’s State Your Color collection! (Shown in the last four photos)

Do you like any of the changes? What’s your favorite from this new set?

(August 3, 2026) This is Week 31 of My Playing Cards series! Every Monday, I’ll be showing 12 decks of cards that mostly have a theme into it! This week, we have some more Bicycle decks! Some summery playing cards, flying machines, and others.

So far, I’ve shared 372 decks of cards! Please stay tuned for more playing cards to show from my collection every Monday!

Here’s what’s in the photo:

Bicycle Mermaid in Teal and Coral colors with warmer color pips.

Bicycle Flying Machines in Blue and Orange colors, these playing cards were illustrated by Mark Stutzman.

Then there’s Bicycle Odyssey, Zero Gravity, Zigzag, Garden Gnome, Vintage Classic, Hidden, Fighter Ace and Webbed.

Got any favorites out of these Bicycle playing cards?

Level 32 preview: Known for their casino quality finish and very smooth shuffling. But these backs go back to antique times.

Just wanted to share some rare crayons from my Crayola Crayon collection. These are VHS tapes of animated children shows by Hallmark Entertainment and Crayola all from 1997!

The Ugly Duckling
Tales of the Tooth Fairies
The Adventures of Mouse & Mole

Each VHS tape lasts for at least 1 hour! (The Ugly Duckling last for 76 minutes, the other two tapes each last for 65 minutes)

Whenever you get one of these VHS tapes, you’ll receive a Family Activity Book with some coloring pages, coupons for over $15 in savings on Crayola products, (They all expired 5/31/98) a tiny coupon booklet for other brands that says: “SAVE OVER $65.00”, a VHS tape for the animated show, and a box of 4 crayons with color names related to each of the Hallmark Entertainment shows.

The first photo you see are the 12 Hallmark Entertainment crayons in those 3 VHS tapes! The rest of photos shows the content of each VHS tape. (I only took photos of the inside of the Ugly Duckling to show the content)

I also took a photo of the spines, so whenever you’re going to any second-hand thrifting, check out the VHS section and see if you can find these VHS tapes! (Preferably, I would find one that’s unopened, so you know you’re getting everything)

I received these tapes for my birthday this year! (My birthday was two months ago)

(July 27, 2026) This is Week 30 of My Playing Cards series! Every Monday, I’ll be showing 12 decks of cards that mostly have a theme into it! This week, we have replicas of antique Bicycle playing cards! These back designs are at least 100 years old now recreated!

So far, I’ve shared 360 decks of cards! Please stay tuned for more playing cards to show from my collection every Monday!

I’ll like to talk about what decks were available and what they have.

The Bicycle Victors Back playing cards were only available at Walmart as a 2-pack! You couldn’t get them separately because they were shrink wrapped together. This back was first designed in 1900. It went by the name Victors No. 79 and not Bicycle branded when it was first released.

Bicycle Autobike No. 1 had two different styles each. The 1st print run had some metallic luster on the tuck box (As shown in the red deck) and the 2nd print run did not have that luster. (As shown in the blue deck) The Autobike No. 1 Back was first designed in 1902 and was discontinued in 1906. It is No. 8 in the 1955 Mrs. Robinson’s collector’s handbook.

Bicycle Wheel No. 1 was rereleased a few times. It was reprinted for Bicycle 130th anniversary in 2015. (Copyrighted 2014) And it was also part of a 5 deck Archive Series of playing cards. It was introduced in 1887 and discontinued in 1907. It is No. 80 in the 1955 Mrs. Robinson’s collector’s handbook.

Five of these decks are part of the Bicycle Archive Series as I mentioned briefly above. They were all designed between 1885 through 1891. All rereleased in 2023.

Old Fan Back 1885 in Green (No. 57)
Rider Back 1887 in Brown (No. 63)
Wheel No. 1 Back 1887 in Red (No. 80)
Acorn Back 1891 in Blue (No. 1)
Lotus Back 1891 in Brown (No. 37)

And lastly, we have the All Wheel Back. This was a limited production run of 2,500 decks. (My number is 1,553) It was released in 2012 and only comes in red. It was first introduced in 1907 and discontinued in 1917. It is No. 2 in the 1955 Mrs. Robinson’s collector’s handbook.

There are other antique Bicycle back decks out there that I do plan on sharing in a future group! But this is a portion of it.

Level 31 preview: I see general Bicycle decks coming for next week. Some of them are flying machines!

Haven’t gotten any of these products, but would love to share some Crayola products that Dollar Tree stores have!

There’s some Dry Erase Bold & Bright Construction Paper crayons, Washable Highlighters, Click Colored Pencils, Click Markers, Metallic Markers, Glitter Markers and Color Change Dual-Ended Markers!

Honestly, Dollar Tree needs to rename it to Money Tree or something, because these are $5! And some products can even go as high as $10! The name has not aged well.

If you’re interested in any of these, hopefully your Dollar Tree has a display for them! Especially when it’s Back to School season!

(July 20, 2026) This is Week 29 of My Playing Cards series! Every Monday, I’ll be showing 12 decks of cards that mostly have a theme into it! This week, we have Bicycle Star Light/Gazer decks! This day marks the 57th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon! So I’m celebrating this occasion with some space themed playing cards!

So far, I’ve shared 348 decks of cards! Please stay tuned for more playing cards to show from my collection every Monday!

The way I set up these Starlight and Stargazer decks are that they’re basically the same playing cards with some slight modifications. The only exception are the Starlight Earth Glow and Stargazer Observatory. The original Stargazer does have a different style of the Black Hole as it shows two black holes instead of one from the Starlight Black Hole.

This is the order of release date for the Starlight and Stargazer decks:

Starlight: Original (Nebula), Black Hole, Shooting Star, Lunar, Solar and Earth Glow

Stargazer: Original (Black Hole), Sun Spot (Solar), New Moon (Lunar), Nebula (Original), Observatory and Falling Star (Shooting Star)

Level 30 hint: Mrs. Robinson would have liked the next group. (But some have multiple different colors)

I’ve taken photos of the contents of this game.

I tried to show the rules as clear as possible. (Might come out a bit blurry) Wanted to let everyone know how UNO Championship works.

In this Amazon Exclusive UNO Championship Series, there are three UNO decks in three different colored backs.

The 108 cards for each deck themselves are basically the same as Classic UNO. You have Reverse, Skip, Draw Two, Wild and Wild Draw Four.

This set comes with two scorepads. One of the scorepads is double sided while the other has Final Round name podiums on one side.

There’s also 12 special rules cards where certain numbers or symbols does something different. You use two random special rules cards per round. It changes each round.

You can get up to three tables of players. But the number of players have to be even as possible for all tables.

How ranking works is, once one player goes out, the round immediately ends. And ranking is based on the number of cards everyone had in their hands. The fewest cards are ranked higher. Obviously, the player going out is Rank 1.

Three rounds of UNO Championship are played and after three rounds has passed, add up the numbers on each player’s positions from the three rounds. Two lowest scores go into the Final Round. (I assume it’s two finalists for one table, four finalists for two tables and six finalists for three tables.)

The trophy is given to the winner of the Final Round and all other players must applause to the winner.

The retail set (Tourney Set) has two decks of UNO cards with red and yellow backs. While this set has green, blue and white backs. You could have up to 50 players by having five UNO decks in play for five tables! (There can be ten finalists. Two finalists per table)

Gather your friends and families, host a big party room with some tables and then shuffle them up and deal! 🏆

(July 13, 2026) This is Week 28 of My Playing Cards series! Every Monday, I’ll be showing 12 decks of cards that mostly have a theme into it! This week, it’s summer themed decks but with mostly NOC decks!

So far, I’ve shared 336 decks of cards! Please stay tuned for more playing cards to show from my collection every Monday!

Eight of these decks are NOC decks. We have the Summer NOC decks in both v1 and v2, NOC Sports in Pink and Light Green and then there’s NOC Beach Bar and NOC Diner Milkshake!

As for the other decks, there is a Bicycle Summer deck that’s part of the Four Seasons series! I’ve shared the Spring deck back in my Level 13 group post! And the last three decks are Tally-Ho Cardistry playing cards. A series of Tally-Ho decks where the back designs are made to make beautiful fan arts! No. 1 is 2018 Cardistry-Con Circle Back, No. 2 is 2019 Special Edition Circle Back and No. 3 is 2019 Summer Fan Back!

Level 29 preview: I see stars in the next group!

(July 6, 2026) This is Week 27 of My Playing Cards Series! This week’s group features Reversed Rider Back colors and colorful Rider Backs by MagicMakers Inc.

I’ve shared 324 decks of cards from my collection so far. More playing card decks to come every Monday! Please stay tuned!

9 of those decks are Reversed Rider Back decks. They’re actually 2nd generation gaff decks that had the background colors matching the front instead of white. Originally had 5 different colors, (With Purple being absent from 1st gen. until 2017) Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and Black. In late 2016, they came out with an Orange Reversed Rider Back, following by Purple in 2017, Pink in 2021 and Light Blue in 2022.

There’s also the 4-way color fan back called the Tetra deck. The fronts are standard, but there’s a different color in each quadrant on the Rider Back! This feature lets you fan your deck in four different colors!

The Rainbow deck is quite interesting. It’s not just Bicycle decks, but it’s a mix of different backs from other USPCC brands in different colors!

These are the following backs featured in the Rainbow Deck:
Bicycle Cupid Back (No.21)
Bicycle Eagle Back (No.27)
Bicycle New Fan Back (No.56)
Bicycle Racer No. 2 Back (No.62)
Bicycle Rider Back (No.63)
Bicycle Safety Back (No.65)
Bicycle Tangent No. 2 Back (No.73)
Bicycle Wheel No. 2 Back (No.81)
Bicycle Holiday Back
Bicycle Santa Back
Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Back
Hoyle Back
Squeezers Bulldog Back
Tally-Ho Circle Back
Tally-Ho Fan Back

Also, I threw in a Bicycle Multicolor Rider Back deck because its features are similar to the Tetra and Rainbow decks, but the suits are in four different colors!
Spades are blue, Hearts are Red with a little bit of pink, Clubs are Green and Diamonds are yellow.

Level 28 preview: Decks of cards for the summer!

Note: I’ve now decided to take pictures of the top and bottom of the tuck boxes! So starting today, I’d be sharing at least 6 photos of playing cards! One on each side!

(June 29, 2026) This is Week 26 of My Playing Cards Series! This week’s group features decks of cards about America and Canada! (Canada Day is July 1st)

It’s Fourth of July week, so as we approach America’s Semiquincentennial, we have 6 decks of Red, White and Blue Rider Back by Merz67, Bicycle American Flag, Bicycle Sparkler Rider Back, some decks by CollectablePlayingCards like Fireworks, Firecrackers and Explostar! And we also have the Bicycle Canada Four Seasons deck, as I threw that one in for Canada Day that’s coming up!

Those 6 Red, White & Blue Rider Back decks have different back patterns and the face cards make Peace signs with American Flag colors.

Happy 4th of July and Canada Day! 🇺🇸🇨🇦

This is a milestone point of this project! This is the 25th week of My Playing Cards series! And this week’s group features 12 different colored Bicycle rider back decks!

This started on January 5, 2026 and since then, I have shared exactly 300 decks of cards! Do you have a favorite deck of the first 300 decks I’ve shared?

I made it so that all the Rider Back decks shows the Classic tuck box design. I also have the modern “Standard” decks for Black, Green, Orange, Turquoise and Fuchsia. The Burgundy rider back is a pretty unusual color and hard to find. Eight of these colors came from the Rider Back Color Collection by Vincenzo Di Fatti. That package includes nine different colored rider back decks in one package. (Last two photos shown)

Level 26 preview: Red, White and Blue. That’s all I can tell you.

Thank you for supporting this series so far! ❤️ More to come in the future!

I’m making this a series of posts that I will be posting every other Friday! (Biweekly) This will not include any custom made UNO games! Only official UNO games made by Mattel! (I might include non-UNO card games made by Mattel)

These 12 UNO games all have cards only and have UNO in the name. No other components other than instructions.

UNO with Customizable Wild Cards (Or just UNO)
UNO Flip!
UNO Flex!
UNO Show ‘em No Mercy
UNO All Wild!
UNO Teams!
UNO Pop
UNO Dare!
Liar’s UNO Trust No One
UNO Golf
UNO House Rules!
UNO Party!

Comment below on what your favorite UNO game from this list!

After 90 minutes of work on this project by sorting them in alphabetical order, lining up the wrappers to display the three languages, retaking photos to display all the color names, adjusting the positioning on the wrappers and even taking six more photos to display 27 crayons each for a better quality shot at the crayons, I present you this HUGE 162 CRAYOLA CRAYON DISPLAY!

A setup which shows every single standard Crayola crayon ever! (Excluding colors that were retired in 1958 or before and blue ribbon from 1996)

Just wanted to share this display of all the standard crayon colors!

Definitely feel free to use these photos for Crayon wikis and Wikipedia! I think these photos would be a good tool for educating uses!

Happy coloring everyone! 🖍️❤️

P.S.: Teal Blue’s international names should have:

teal blue
azul verdoso
bleu sarcelle

(June 15, 2026) This is Week 24 of My Playing Cards Series! This week’s group features Tally-Ho decks with Reversed Backs! Half of them are Rose Fan Backs and the other half are Circle Backs.

I’ve shared 288 decks of cards from my collection so far. Stay tune for more of my decks of playing cards every Monday! (Next week, 300 decks total!)

Aloy Design Studios made these decks. (Same makers that made Floral, Unicorn and Peafowl decks) Each Tally-Ho Rose Fan Back comes with a rose card that describes what each colored rose means and some personally words. (Shown in the last two photos) The Reversed Circle Back decks each come with a double back card. All Reversed decks come with a blank face card.

Week 25 preview: The famous Bicycle back has all the different colors!
