🎯 – Price is higher as this is a resale deck from a retailer that went out of business. These are decks in perfect condition that were meant for retail, not dinged up decks from individual Ebay sellers.
– I am very low in stocks, please check before payment.
– Unfortunately price is set by current resale market value, and not by me.

🪐 These custom decks were designed by Yasuyuki Honne, a Japanese video game artist, director and producer. They were released only in Japan. You might be familiar with Bicycle Autumn Night and Owl, also designed by Honne. Printed by U.S. Playing Card Co. in Erlanger, Ky.

🪐 In the words of the designer:
“This deck “FUTURE BAR” is also a 50-year-old commemorative deck. With “Space Age” as the keyword, I dreamed of space development and the “liquor” culture that will not change no matter how the times progress. I think that genderlessness will progress in the future, and the characters on the picture cards have vague genders.

🪐 By the way, the Joker of Future Bar Bicycle is a homage to the actions taken by Maetel in “Water Country Cheyenne” of “Galaxy Express 999”. The No. 1 way to drink sake that had an impact on me.

🪐 This time, we are producing two types, a normal version and a gilded version (scheduled to be released in 2021), and the gilded version has the same side hologram foil processing as the famous “Bicycle Prism gilded”.
[translation is garbled here, but she says that she was originally inspired by that deck].

🪐 Due to the elaborate specifications, the manufacturing cost was high for both the regular version and the gilded version. It seems that it is the first time for an order from Japan to produce a Bicycle deck with such elaborate specifications.
