Card Review:The Bicycle Eco-Edition Playing Cards

Being a card handler and a person trying to look out for the environment, I was really interested in seeing what the deal was with these new cards. First of all, there is no plastic wrapping and the box is made from recycled paper. But that is not the only part that is recyclable. The entire deck is.

Using starch based glues and ink that is derived from vegetables, this deck is the enviromentalist of the playing card world. Green is the theme of this deck of cards, with green pips instead of red and green garments garnishing the gallantry of the grand court cards. This deck is graced with the standard Air-Cushion finish, so they feel comfortable and natural in the hands so switching from regular rider backs isn't a problem. 

Overall I thought they felt good I really liked them, they are a good product and I recommend them to any one who is curious or wants a deck you can throw into the recycle bin when they wear out.
