Ha I found one of those decks in a hospital a while back...they were open but looked brand new. Luckily I haven't caught any diseases or anything from using them

Those look like the stinger decks, but not. The stingers had the printed area fading into the white boreders. Those could be even older, but I think they did stop making the stingers. They didn't sell to well.

I wish they still made those cards.....the bee back design makes GREAT juiced cards and the white borders are GREAT for magic.

These cards are really nice indeed.
There are also "World Poker Tour" cards: White bordered and Bee back design. The "World Poker Tour" logo is on the back.
Maybe not as good as the Bee's listed above, but still nice cards.

I agree. Those cards handle great and last a pretty long time...seem to last longer than bikes in my opinion...

FYI, I went to the Toy Fair in New York and the US Playing Card Company had a booth there.
I saw all their new cards and one of them was a Bee deck with a white border as requested in this eMail string.
There are 2 Bee decks with white borders on the market.
1) Was a custom order for "Linens & Things" store. It had the name "Bee" in a white oval on the top and bottom of the card. This deck was a custom run.
2) As Tom Ace mentioned .... they also print a "World Poker Tour" Bee deck with white borders and I got a deck. The good news is that Juice marks work great on them. The bad news is that luminous does not work as well on these particular cards.
In addition the WPT label looks better than the ugly "Bee" logo on the Linens & Things flavor of the cards.
In addition, the white border works great for magic as well.
Hope this helps.

Ditto. They have a sort of "soft" feling to them, yet they stay in good condition for quite a while (at least from my experiences). Great for magic, flourishes, and poker
