I want to get another set of Strange Travelers and I just learned that Penguin is selling them with Mandolin Backs. It's been so long since I have been in the Café and I am not familiar with Mandolin backs. Should I be concerned before I buy this? How does everyone feel about this?
My first set of Strange Travelers were ruined by accident and I believe they were the original Bicycle backs. |

Mandolin backs are very similar to bicycle backs. you would be fine to pick up a couple decks since the us playing card company will no longer allow bicycle backs to be altered (i believe its only the backs) so mandolin back is getting the gaffs for now. this is what ive taken from posts here and on some magic shop sights. I got a whole deck of mandolin twilight angels by Paul Harris because they are no longer available in bike backs. the quality of the cards are the same

Just to reassure you Keith, its very likely that your spectators will not even notice the difference.

Keith,
With the effect Strange Travelers, the gaff cards don't have any backs so it doesn't really matter. Just switch the regular Mandolin back cards that come with the effect for rider back.

Anyone know if replacement cards are available for purchase anywhere (ie, without having to repurchase the booklet).
Thanks!
