Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of your Bicycle Elton John deck, ensure you wash and dry your hands before use to prevent skin oils from degrading the finish. Store the cards in their original tuck box at room temperature in a dry location. Keep them away from moisture and direct heat, which can cause the cardstock to warp. If you are playing games that require intense card management, avoid bending or snapping the corners to preserve the deck's longevity.
