Hey guys,
I'm looking for a good source for specific playing cards. Example.. I want 100 or more 2 of spades, red back, bicycle cards. Thoughts?

You could buy 104 decks. Keep the 2 of spades from each. You can then use the rest of the cards to compile one-way forcing decks. You could also make 2-way force decks out of some of them. Sell the force decks for $4 ea. And you'll eventually break even.
Or you could go the easy route and buy two 1-way force decks. But you will probably pay a premium if you want a specific card since they have to dig through the stock to find the right ones.

I did some checking and many dealer websites state they will TRY to give you the specific card you ask for but cannot guarantee it and may send something "close" if they don't have that card in stock.

If you hit penguin you can select exactly what it is that you want. Most dealers will push on you what they have other wise. As nobody is a big fan of buying from Murphys as it results in a small mark up for them.
After a quick check they used to have all of them listed separately on there. I am sure they would be able to ensure those are availible before you were to purchase though if you emailed them. Sean |

I bought many bicycle force decks for tricks I make and got exactly the cards I wanted from Bill at Madhatter magic that is if he had them. Call Bill and ask, if he can help, he definitely will...

I hope that is 100 cards and not decks of 2 of Spades. I would not want to make up 100 decks of the same card, too costly and labor intensive. If you need special decks, within reason, we will be happy to work with you on special requests. Just let us know.
