Bicycle Prestige cards on sale at Walgreens (1 Viewer)

[Quicksilver-75]

Damn. My favorite cards...
At that price I can even overlook the flaking pips!
Any sweethearts Stateside willing to grab me a few? I’d be eternally greatful.

 

[JoeyMack]

Hey boys and girls! If you can find them they’re getting cheaper. Picked up one more pack today...for $2.79!!! So stoked! Thinking about going back and checking on those six rider backs I left behind…

I’ll make a run later today. See if I can find any.

Check the website before heading out...the quantities on the site are usually accurate.

Did that before I replied

 

[Syllogistik]

Good call, I'll make the journey today as well

 

[JoeyMack]

Yes...definitely check Walgreens website that @Colquhoun posted. It would’ve saved me three stops during my first hunt if I did…

 

[Forty4]

Website was a bust for me. Only one deck. One more place to check but have to get some work done today.

Don't even think about a road trip to Buffalo - all sold out here

 

[BirdCage]

Just another data point, the on-line inventory has been wrong both ways in my area (showing available or sold-out in a particular store, with the opposite being true - best to actually call or visit).

 

[Syllogistik]

Went to two stores with online inventory and both have none in stock. At least it was a fun drive.

New to the forum and saw this thread. Figured this would be a good starting set of cards as I look to upgrade chips, so figured I’d see if any Walgreens had any, and ended up going to two but got myself a red and blue deck for 2.79 ea.

 

[Mac128k]

Sold out in a 30 mile radius from me. You guys scoring them for $2.79 is insane. I'd pay that for the boxes alone!

Let me see what I come up with tomorrow and I will see what I can spare

Anybody want to tip me off - are these standard index or jumbo? I have a few of these decks left, but I don’t want to open one to check the index, especially if they’re standard and I’m just going to sell them.

 

[bigblind]

standard index

 

[upNdown]

The box might be the best thing about them. I love the finish. They’re a tad stiffer than I prefer. There’s a bit more top card float than I like to see. And I never love standard index.

standard index

Thanks. If only I'd scrolled back and read my own words.
Welp, if anybody wants 3 sealed decks at $5 apiece (red, blue, blue) let me know. Not sure how shipping doesn't kill the deal, but I dunno.

 

[Highli99]

I'll take em! Always interested in trying new decks.

If they were bridge sized, I'd be all over these as I grew up with Bicycle cards at home as a kid so I've always had a soft spot for the brand. Since learning of the Prestige line, they seem to only make poker size.

Not exactly true. I have bridge size bicycle prestige cards, but they don’t have the traditional bicycle backs. They were hugely popular around here, about 5 years ago, because you could get them from Amazon for like $3 a deck.

I suspect they were a limited run. That green/burgundy version in both bridge and poker size hasn't been available in a few years.

 

[mugenpowr]

Great cards and price!

 

[Colquhoun]

Sadly, these have been gone for quite some time.

Are you talking about these?

Yes.

 

[CUORE3]

There are some here

I’m impressed that you found some, but that’s a crazy price.
I mean honestly, the cards are good enough that they might be worth that price. But the big appeal of these has always been their high quality at such a low price

They are selling 2 decks at almost 22 Euros. They are made by Fournier, and we get those at 9 Euros per deck. Nope not worth it.

 

[ChipJunkie]

Great cards at a great price.

These cards are a little known secret. A friend mentioned these to me. I picked them up and was pleasantly surprised. I can't believe I used to use those paper cards. Lol.
