UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Hey, what about a little friendly game. We've got cards, we've got cameras, time to put that knowledge of yours to the test in a fun way.

Take blury pics of a court card and ask us to I.D. it.
Take extreme closeups of back designs
Take a picture of 4 AS or worse.... 4 3C and have us match-up which card went to which deck
Take a picture of a unique corner pip
Take a picture of several similar back designs and have us put them in order from oldest to youngest

The possibilities are endless.

For instance: do you think you could name these decks from top to bottom?



If you need help, check the last few pages of my "introduction" thread

Good Luck,

I think I recognized the top three decks right away: Madison Rounders, Blue Ltd, and Vortex. The bottom deck looks familiar and I know I have it somewhere, but the name's not coming to me now...

The top one could also be white cents.

1. Madison Rounders
2. Blue LTD.
3. Vortex
4. Bee Erdnase Smith Back No.2 Blue

... I think

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner! Congrats, Mirror, to beating me to the punch on the Erdnase Blue Smith Back.


Here's a set of 6 cards. Name which decks they come from. Most are pretty easy, but a couple may be tricky:

I only know 2 of them, so I don't want to give the answers away....

I don't have access to my collection atm so I won't name the ones I think I know, but the only one that really puzzles me is the bottom middle one.

You are all banned for picking out the VORTEX DECK. Orthodontic is double banned for posting such a vile image

haha this is pretty fun. Shows how nerdy and obsessed we are. Upload more!

Top Left: Tally-Ho Split Spades
Top Center: Kite Deck
Top Right: Centurions
Bottom Left: Triangle Prototype Deck
Bottom Center: I don't know that one...
Bottom Right: Bicycle Alchemist X Deck

Yeah the Bottom center one doesn't look like a USPCC deck because of the cut and I haven't seen it before...

My turn.


I had posted this before.. but I'm not sure if it was at .net


Name them all. left to right.. top to bottom

Dan the Man! I was hoping the gilt edge of the Hermes card would show to offer an additional hint. You have to be more specific with number 2 since I was hoping it would be a tricky ID: It looks like an Ace of Spades from the Kite deck due to the colors, but its actually from the Puppet deck as an extra/gaff. I think you nailed CBJ's list of decks as well, very impressive. Congratulations!

Wow... great job!

What "animal" is on the cover of the tuck box of this deck?

Elephant

Hey, they don't all have to be hard, right? ha ha. Good Job.

What type of card deck has these pips?

Sorry I have no idea what kind of cards would have a small pip + index over the courts... :/

Only thing I can think of would be gaff cards.

This one shouldn't be too difficult

Rummy

You gave the answer in the picture name , Bee Erdnaseum

My turn, name these 3 back designs:

Rummy

Yes, Rummy or Solitaire Decks use those pips

Name the black KoS! FYI, these are all Bicycle branded decks. Good luck!

Nobody guessed DanCards question!

1- The Black Deck or the new print called 'Reversed Back'
2- Alchemist X
3- Raider
4- Black Tiger or Black Ghost ( looks the same I guess )
5- Black Spider Deck
6- Tattoo Deck
7- Black Scorpion Deck
8- Shadow Masters

Nailed it! For technicality, it wasn't the revered back and it was the Black Tiger.

The first person who guess all 3 back designs I posted in the first page I will send the following 2 decks for free:

.

In about 24 hours I will give the answers.

BTW, name the 2 decks above

The one on the right is the club back. Left, not so sure.

Why do I get the feeling the only one who stands a chance (first page image) is Mr Andrew Daugherty?

I'm stumped.

Here's the solution to the one I posted earlier...
