Hello! I noticed that some Bicycle decks have a white line on its plastic cellophane. Does anyone know when USPC discontinue to use this white one?

Thanks!

Kei, I think you are asking when they used it - or why?

The "why?" part is an attempt to make it more difficult to counterfeit Bicycle brand decks, and the "when?" part is hard to say. I have seen it off and on over the past few years,but not consistent. Maybe certain decks they sell primarily overseas have it? I really don't know - just a guess.

I see... I guess few collectors are interested in a color of cutting line. LOL
