USPC rumored to release plastic acetate Bicycle Rider Backs?

I heard through the grapevine that the United States Playing Card Co. (Current producers of Kem cards) are in the process of making their famous Bicycle paper Rider Backs in a high quality Plastic Acetate set-up.
If this is true, would you consider purchasing these cards? If so, what do you think would be a fair price for them if they are a high quality like the Copags or the Dal Negro's?

The Copags I have are very plasticey. So casual people scoff at them a little.

Negs are $18 for 2 decks and feel like real cards. So they would have to be cheaper (like under $15) and still be rad. But I don't really need 6 decks so prob wouldn't buy them anyway.

I own KEM, Copag and Modiano cards. The Modianos are by far my favorite. A little thicker than KEM, but has a better feel than Copag -- almost a paper-like texture.. so it doesn't slip out of your hand so easily.

i dont understand that picture. =/ what is happening with the candle? or w/e it is

You don't really need 6 decks?
I guess that I have a serious problem then, because I have over 26 decks of Kems, Copags, Dal Negros & Gemaco's.
I may need an intervention I think.

I can hardly wait for the release of the Plastic Acetate Bicycle Rider Backs. What say you?

I think that around $15.00 would be a fair price.
