I considered listing seventeen Jerry's Nuggets, but thought better ofr it.

And upon closer inspection, I finally noticed some discernible damage on one of the boxes in my loot:

The side of the box has about a half-inch-long scrape where the printed exterior "skin" of the box has been scraped off somehow.

Not a huge deal, but definitely noticeable.
Considering the cost, I think that's more than agreeable. Personally I'm just getting these to have cards that I can open and my "good" ones nice.

Oh, far more!

I only mentioned it because Pete had in his post, and that reminded me.

Before I saw that one scrape, I could have sworn that Mike and his people had sent me their regular, un-dinged, un-dented stock!

Understood. I just got them to get in on the fun, to see what I would get!

I normally open every deck I get, but I just might leave the dupes from this group sealed. (the non-dupes will get opened so that I can scan them).

I agree, I usually go out of my way not to deal with Yankee fans but Mike has always done me right. I do have to hold my nose when I complete my order but I have never had a problem with any of my orders from BM. :)

Yankees?

I would have pegged Mike as more of a Yomiuri Giants fan (or perhaps Hanshin Tigers)!

I'd like to extend a big thank you to Mike for doing this deal.
Only one or two of the decks I got we're damaged to the point that the cards were affected.
Out of the two packs I got, I only had 3 doubles, one of which was sentinels.
Out of 34 decks I got 19 unique decks I didn't have.
Very happy with my purchase.

Given the two new Karnival's that have recently been announced, almost feels they are going the way of Merz. However, still seems like insane value. Very much looking forward to getting mine, hopefully any day.

Sorry, should have clarified, I didn't think you were complaining. That's the fun of mystery pulls, one never knows what one might get (or not get). There have been some amazing packages so far for sure!

I'm not sure what your question is, but...

"Reversed Back" Bikes are fun.

They have a standard Rider back, but with the colors reversed.

In other words, where a blue Rider Back is printed with a blue design on a white background, a blue Reversed Back looks as though it is printed in white on a blue background.

In addition to that, the faces (fronts) of every card in the deck do not have a white background, but (in the case of your deck) a blue background! Also, the Pip colors are sometimes modified so that they will stand out better against the background color.

For example, here are cards from a blue Rider back and a blue Reversed Back deck:

==========[ Bicycle_RiderBack_Blue ]==========
Image

==========[ Bicycle_ReversedBack_Blue ]==========
Image

To my knowledge, Reversed Back Bikes come in five colors:

==========[ Bicycle_ReversedBack_Black ]==========
Image

==========[ Bicycle_ReversedBack_Blue ]==========
Image

==========[ Bicycle_ReversedBack_Green ]==========
Image

==========[ Bicycle_ReversedBack_Red ]==========
Image

==========[ Bicycle_ReversedBack_Yellow ]==========
Image

Hope that answers your question.

Actually, the word "Reversed" comes from the colors of the back design being reversed from the V1 of The Blue Deck aka "Blue Ice" (seen here). The creators realized that if they reversed the back design to make the borders have the same colors as the faces, they would cater more to magicians. And so, V2's were made of the entire series called Reversed Back.
