Four historic back designs reprinted by Bicycle, housed in a vintage jute twine banknote bag. A collector's set available in limited quantities.

Recovered from history, reprinted in limited quantities.

The historic plates have been recovered and the vintage designs reprised by The United States Playing Card Company. The Bicycle Heritage Design Series feature four historic playing card designs that have been out of print for over one hundred years. Now available in limited quantities, exclusively at theory11.

Classic and timeless design. A unique part of Bicycle’s history.

The Heritage Design Series includes four historic back designs: Acorn, Lotus, Nautic, and Automobile No. 2. This set of four is featured in a vintage banknote-style bag made from 100% natural and biodegradable jute twine.

LOTUS BACK - Originally produced in 1891, this design has intricate architecture and floral elements that interweave across the back design. Printed in Blue.

NAUTIC BACK - Originally produced in 1919, Nautics are one of our all time favorite playing card designs. Intricate, elegant, and extremely detailed. Printed in Green.

ACORN BACK - Originally produced in 1891, Acorn Backs were one of the very first playing cards produced by The United States Playing Card Company. Printed in Brown.

AUTOMOBILE No.2 BACK - Originally produced in 1913, this automotive design is a respectful nod to Henry Ford and the world's first cars. Printed in Red.

Only 5,000 sets are available and once they’re gone, they’re gone! Here’s your chance to own a part of Bicycle’s history!

Bicycle Heritage Series provides access to classic USPCC card back designs that only seem to be offered about once a generation. The brown acorn backs are my favorite of the bunch, but the rest are not far behind. The cards faces on all heritage decks are retail standard so they work well for any purpose. Great stuff, and with the premium they command on the secondary market.

Beautiful arcs with unusual backs. I love them. They are very smooth and handle wonderfully out of the box.

Amazing set of cards. Look and feel silky smooth. And the woven pouch is a nice touch.

I love the simplicity of these cards. They handle slightly better than a normal pack of bikes. Definitely recommend for the card collector or magician.

As a cardist I always find myself falling in love with standard designs. My personal fave of the set is the Acorn backs. Definitely get these!

Love the traditional look and the clean look of the deck. I enjoy the green design as it adds a bit of richness. Tradition and elegance combined. Great work.

Familiar and yet they command attention. These are fun performance cards because they look and feel like Bicycle cards but then they draw you in because the designs are all different from expectation. For decks that command some attention, they are worth the price.

The Heritage Series is one of the best products available on T11. I bought two sets, and I'm very happy with what I received. All four of these decks look amazing! The Lotus backs are my personal favorite, but all four designs are iconic. The pictures don't do them justice! You should add these cards to your collection before it's too late!

I was hesitant buying these due to the price but ever since I made up my mind I'm so glad I did. The design is stunning, the handling is great and they feel so good. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

If you are a card collector like me and didn't have the chance to own some historical decks, these are perfect for you. Love the back designs, they handle great as well.

Great feel, Amazing look, presented in a perfect twine bag. The cards fit good in the bag. The backs really catch the eye. The AUTOMOBILE No.2 BACK is my favorite, mainly because it has a satisfying look when spread across a table! Even with the shipping the price ends to be really good, and fair. If you're contemplating, trust me it's a good purchase.

These cards are beautiful.The back designs are very nice. All together, 4 very nice decks for a great price. I personally love the Nautic back; it is my favorite.

I love being able to own some of Bicycle's historic designs (I think the automobile design may be one of my favorites of theirs), and the variety of colors is also a big plus. Green is one of my favorite colors and you don't find decks in that color often enough for my taste. I was unsure of how they would be packaged together (because apparently I didn't read the description well enough), and was pleasantly surprised to find them in their burlap bag. It's rather fitting I think.

The design of the box is absolutely beautiful. I love the backs of the cards and the way they handle. I just bought my first three decks from theory11 and I am truly amazed.

Very nice back designs. It's a shame these are not mass made like regular bikes, tally-hos and bee cards. The lotus and acorn backs look amazing and the nautic in green looks very good. 5/5.

Every one of these decks is a gem. What I would give to have the quality of these decks be the standard for Rider Backs. From the (and I don't exaggerate) PERFECT alignment of the back and face printing, to the quality/thickness of stock, and straight/smooth cut edges of the cards, all of these decks are built to last. It's a shame that these guys are a limited run because I would love to be able to casually go through these and buy more as needed. I plan on purchasing at least two more sets because of how well these bad boys handle. Are they a collector's item? Sure. But I buy cards to use them and you should too. A combination of perfect form and function, you won't regret breaking the seal on these guys.

Beautiful classic back designs. It's a great set to have and to use when you want something just a little bit different from the regular Bicycle decks.

It's amazing to own my very own part of Bicycle history. I haven't got the courage to open the cards but they are a valuable addition to my collection.
