What Happens When You Visit the Bicycle Factory 🃏

This past Thursday, I finally got to visit the USPCC factory.

I had already visited the old one last year, and ever since, I've wanted to go to the new one.

A few years ago, the factory moved from Ohio to Kentucky, and when the new factory opened, they offered tours and showed off the machines, etc.

I already knew before arriving that I couldn't take any tours, but I just wanted to go for the sake of getting a photo with the logo and being able to say I'd been to the exact place where 90% of the world's playing cards are made.

After arriving and taking my photos, I was about to leave; but out of nowhere, a guy (who was the receptionist) came out and asked my dad and me if we wanted a photo together (obviously, we said yes).

I told him I was a magician from Spain, etc., and he must have liked us because he told me that since there were no tours available, he was going to give me a souvenir deck.

I was super happy because I thought he was going to give me a standard Bicycle deck; but suddenly a door opened, and an employee came out with her hands full of decks!

There were 8 in total! 2 standard and 6 limited edition!

These were the decks:

Red Tally Ho

Blue Tally Ho

Shin Lim Bicycle

Blue Bicycle Metalluxe

Red Bicycle Metalluxe

Bicycle Unicorn

Bicycle "Egypt" (I don't know the name, but it's awesome!)

Bicycle Hidden

Another unforgettable experience.

May magic be with you.

P.S.: If anyone has had the opportunity to take a tour, please comment on how it was.

Thanks

Yeah, that really paid off! 🤣

Zeta, I'm so sorry, but that "Egypt" deck is buried deep in one of the suitcases we're taking to Spain, and it's already packed because we're heading there for the summer and leave in less than a week.

When I get to Spain and open the suitcase, I'll snap a picture, and then maybe we can all figure out the name, because honestly, I'm super curious about it too.

May the magic be with you.

Well, in a way, the trip already paid off! 😄

8 free decks? Except for the Tally-Hos, the rest are well over 10 euros each, so they essentially gave you at least 100 euros worth of decks.

I highly doubt they'd just hand out freebies like that to anyone who visits.

I'd say you had a unique and unforgettable experience, and I'm happy for you.

I have all the ones you mentioned, except for the "Egipto" deck, which I'm not familiar with, and it's really piquing my interest.

Could you share some pictures of that deck??? 😊
