I'm interested in buying the Bicycle Masters Edition. Is it the same as the regular Bicycle deck except the Ace? Or it really has different finishing, quality and durability of the cards?
How to clean the cards? The edge sometimes is dirty, so when you use your old gaff card into a new deck, you can straightaway see the different shade of colors. The new deck will appear clean and a bit white, while the gaff cards will appear gray or darker. Any idea to remove such thing?

Spray some deodrant (lynx etc) onto a plate, dab a small amount onto a dry cloth and rub the sides lightly. It helps to lighten them again as its a mild solvent.

Does it contain alcohol? As far from I know, alcohol is not good for cards.

No it doesn't contail alcohol as far as I know. I have used this method, and it works ok. However I would test this method on an old joker or something, so incase it does react porely you don' mess up your cards.

Btw, how about the Bicycle Masters Edition. Is it worth it?

I played with them for a while but I don't really like them. I just use regular bikes or tally's and if the edges are rough, I smooth them out on my jeans. I would recommend you buy between 1 and 3 packs and see if you like them. I started with one of them and I think 2 of the other packs they offer. I'm just really not a fan of the thicker card stock though. Otherwise they are nice cards I guess. Finish is about the same. |

I could only found Gatsby or Axe. But they have ethanol. Is this ok? Is all kind of alcohol bad for the cards?
About Masters Edition, can we use regular Bicycle gaff cards into the Masters deck? Thicker means we can be spotted easily when doing a double lift?

Update: I bought Axe, tried it but I didn't see any difference. Well, it might actually work but because I only used it on one card, the difference might not be visible.
Which ingredients in the deodorant that actually helps remove the smudge? Do you do that on the whole deck at once or just some cards you think need to be cleaned up?

I like this idea, and I want to try it myself and see if it works for me as well
