Review on 🚲 Vintage Bicycle Playing Cards: Perfect Gift Set for Retro Enthusiasts! by Robert Buenconsejo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Mixed bag. Ok for the price, but with flaws.

I had to return the first pack as the tin was badly scratched. No problem. Revain handled it quickly with no issues. However, the print quality on the back is disappointing. If you compare them to some of the original map designs, you'll notice that details are missing and washed out. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon on some vintage or prestige series bikes, meaning they are not exact replicas of the originals. Apparently a different, less accurate printing method is used. Also, if you look closely, there's a small blurred line at one end of the drawing above the bike. Not necessarily a big deal, but they should have been identical. If you can overlook these shortcomings, then the price is more than reasonable given the tin can. However, I feel disappointed. With today's state-of-the-art equipment, it shouldn't be that hard to do better than the originals from a decade ago.

Pros
  • 2 standard size decks of playing cards; purple and green
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
