It is 80 or y2k...but I have not seen this ace design before

I just wanted to get a good piece of deck with this type cool looking box

And this is the only available thing I can see

Is it good?

I'm from India btw

The rabbit hole is deep, more non-bicycle decks are on the way

Cards take up far too much of my room so starting a bit of a clear out after years of collecting.

I take all kinds of other photos, too. I’d love to see lots of photos of the cards you’ve taken!

A little bit of everything. Some S17, some Art of Play, some Theory11, some Bicycle, some vintage, and some novelty. Next up are antiques, Arc, Thirdway Industries, and Kingstar.

Just opened a 2025 deck to find that it has some pretty extreme printing flaws. I’ve seen loads of these on this forum, but I was actually quite stoked to find a deck in the wild with so many mistakes. My favourite is the mini 2 that has both the rider back _and_ Bee diamond back pattern on the back! This deck sure is a beaut.

I think these look brilliant and just wanted to share on here cuz I think the project needs a bump. BTW not my project.

Welcome to the Silk Road Showdown — a 4-part community vote to crown the best face card in the Dunhuang Flying Apsaras deck. Each round features one suit. Vote for your favorite, and one random voter wins a free deck shipped worldwide.

Round 1: ♦️ Diamonds

Every card is hand-drawn from a real flying apsara mural inside the Dunhuang Mogao Caves, painted across different dynasties over 1,000 years.

Your candidates:

J — Jack of Diamonds. Symmetrical doubled form — four apsaras mirrored into one. The calmest, most meditative composition of the four.

Q — Queen of Diamonds. Sweeping S-curve pose, flowing robes in deep blue and crimson. One of the most iconic silhouettes in the entire deck.

K — King of Diamonds. Multi-colored ribbon trails, the most complex layering of any face card. Every color references a different pigment found in the original cave.

A — Ace of Diamonds. A solo apsara in free flight, trailing silk ribbons through the air. The most dynamic composition in the suit.

How to vote: Just comment J, Q, K, or A. That's it.

Winner announced when Round 2 (♥️ Hearts) drops in 10 days.

See you in Round 2. ♥️

Each face card in this deck is based on a real Apsara figure from the Dunhuang cave murals — a site that's been painted continuously for over 1,000 years. J, Q, K, and A each tell a different story.

Which of the four (J/Q/K/A) would you most want to see up close?

Finally got 1/2 dream decks down
