The top one is T11 Rebels, and the bottom is Bicycle Coffin Fodder.
Well that explains it, I just quickly forgot about them. Those are two I got really excited about in the past, but then was very disappointed when I saw what was inside. Nice boxes and backs though!

Thanks for the quick response

With me, it's more like "The deck that I imagined when I saw the outside was much nicer than what was actually inside". I must have dozens of decks - mostly inexpensive ones, fortunately - which I purchased in hopes of the courts being what I imagined/hoped-for, based solely on what was on the box.

I nearly always was disappointed upon opening the box, but not always!

Agree. You see decks that have some nice effort and design on the backs.. flip them over and you see standard cards/courts... :roll:

That reminds me of the Fulton October/Halloween Deck... I really like this deck.. Some people really hate it.. but what completely threw me was they made a nice back.. nice courts....They show the really nice courts on the website.. Then when you get the deck, you realize they copied the court cards over and over... unbelieveable.. All that time and effort and you don't bring it to completion...

Yeah, it's called "repeating courts", and it blows.

At least the one you show has a suicide king of hearts, though!

I used to think that repeating courts were a sign of a designer running out of ideas/imagination, but I have learned that it is often a matter of budget (the publisher being unwilling to pay the artist for twelve drawings when reusing the same three four times will do (as far as they are concerned.))

So I added these little guys to the collection. These things are cool..I don't know why but I really like these. They are mini decks. The measurements are 1-15/16" X 2-13/16" (49.21 x 71.43). The gold seal says Squeezers, The NY Consolidated Card Co. These are the No. 107 back designs. Now I am searching for the No. 129 backs. If anyone knows where some mini 129's are, please let me know. Thanks.
