Please PM me. The ones I have gotten from Amazon have stuck together like an invisible deck.

Here you go. These are double blank cards on bicycle stock. Feels like normal bicycle cards and they handle great. Only 6 bucks. https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/810

Yes they are premium, and Penguin seems to be the cheapest I can find for Bicycle Brand. They are what I was using, and I still have maybe 10 decks left. I use a lot of blank cards in walk-around mentalism and was hoping to find something cheaper that still could be handled like Bikes for card slights.
I have gotten two other responses: 1) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096YB......TF8&th=1 (Apostrophe Games Style 180 Aqueous Cards on Amazon). Make sure you get the right finish (Aqueous) or they won't work well. I have purchased these and they don't stick together, and while not as slick as Bicycle brand, they are good enough for the card slights I use with blank cards. $10/180 cards - no card case. 2) the second is: http://Makeplayingcards.com , M31 finish. I will be purchasing these too, but haven't as of yet. |

I know the reasons for it, but isn't it interesting that a double-blank deck, a deck that isn't printed and uses zero ink is actual more expensive! Again, I know why, but it still is annoying.
It's never crowded on the extra mile....

I find the price of cardboard annoying, but I am cheap. I went through a deck of blanks yesterday in a restaurant.

Possible,Try card stock for a printer (if you have a printer, maybe put several backs, fronts and print). - Walmart, $6-7 for 150 sheets, 110lb - 8 x 11. Also, Staples , maybe thicker available??, blank -white . RR

Thanks!
I do card slights with them, so they need to be slick, and the must be thick enough with "spring" and have rounded corners. Also, a sharpy can't bleed d through and need to be completely opaque- even with a strong light. |

My guess as to why double-blanks cost more than standard printed decks is because they don't make nearly as many compared to printed decks and they require deviation from the normal manufacturing routine.
