Bee cards, two packs for a dollar!

I attended the Arcola, Illinois Broomcorn Festival a couple of weekends ago. A street vendor had a large cardboard box full of red and blue Bee cards, two decks for a buck. I bought a pack, and when I got home I opened it to find these junk cards, and this great inner flap:

By the way, I wrote to the USPCC, and they sent me a new pack of genuine Bees for my trouble.

What was it that tipped you off??

I'm joking of course. That flap is hysterical. I would actually like a deck of those for my collection because they are so absurd.

I'm going to another festival at the end of the month - if the guy is there selling his cards, I'll get you a pack.

Red or blue?

Does the pack have a club of hearts?

I bought two packs of similar cards with no spelling errors on the flap. They are all counterfeit Chinese made cards. The finish is rough and the cards feel thicker. Good for playing cards or making card castles and great for bicycle spokes to make great sounds.

Larry, my cards are very thin with a slick, shiny, glossy finish. Total junk.

I love it!

Dan,
I guess they print on whatever stock they have available. Couldn't do a pressure fan with them. Cards stuck together in clumps.

Yours stick together? So, should be easy to turn them into an invisible deck!

A lot of these decks are also included within aluminium cases of poker chips.

Oh dear - pirated junk from China.

What a surprise! Smile
