About the deck
First-edition Bicycle Black Tiger playing cards by Ellusionist are rare, collectible poker-sized decks featuring an inverted black-and-white colour scheme and signature white pips.
Key Features of the 1st Edition
• White Pips: Early first-run editions feature white pips on all face cards rather than the red pips found on later versions or revival prints.
• Tuck Case Details: First-edition boxes lack a barcode or a barcode reveal trick, and omit the dash commonly seen after "Poker 808" on later variations.
• Stock Quality: Known for a thicker, more luxurious cardstock feel compared to standard USPCC Bicycle runs of the same era.
• Design: Manufactured by United States Playing Card Company (USPCC) with an Air-Cushion finish.
