This special coating made cards cleanable and durable, leading to massive military orders during World War II and cementing Arrco's reputation for quality. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Arrco remained a formidable competitor to USPCC's Bicycle brand, beloved by magicians who praised the cards' performance and distinctive court card designs.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/playingcards\/comments\/9awlnd\/review_the_2018_reprint_of_the_iconic_arrco\/\" class=\"inline\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThis half brick contains 6 complete decks (3 red, 3 blue), each featuring the iconic Arrco back design with its intricate, mirrored symmetry that made the brand instantly recognizable to card handlers worldwide.
