wow.. cool. hey talking abt green decks, they also have this lime green bike decks. its just like normal bikes but they are lime green in colour. i heard the quality is slightly better too.

The back of Tacticals are normal rider back bike design. However, they come in dark green or in black backs. There is no way to know which color backs u will be getting unless you open them. (or at least till now no one has any idea how to differentiatie without opening them)
The cards are very slightly thicker and this makes them more durable then normal bikes.
As for the surface, it is white in color and the black pips are the same. The only difference is that the red pips are of a darker red (looks like blood red).
It does not glow in the dark. The only reason for the red pips to be of this color is so that the decks can be used during military operations where they wear night goggles. Normal red pips will not show up when they are wearing those googles.
Black Tiger's white pips does glow under UV lighting. (e.g. in Discos, pubs)
The tactical bikes have a creamy feel to them and fans well too. they do last as there are made specifically for usage under harsh elements - stated at the back of the box. (not waterproof tho)
The box of the tacticals are all green, with black wordings. Not the iraqi wanted decks which you have seen.
just fyi, these decks cannot be found in shops because the USPC has made an agreement with the US government that these will only be supplied to US military personnel. It is stated clearly at the back of the box.
In addition, buying and reselling them by military personnel will get them into serious trouble and have their priviledges terminated if caught. (This is stated in one of the military code of conduct about using their military marts.)
Hope i have answered some questions here.
CHEERS!! ^_^
