The original Smoke and Mirrors v1 set, sealed, $100

Red Jerry's Nugget deck, sealed in cello, the cello has "popped" due to age but it's still on there pretty good, $300

Free shipping domestically, $5/deck internationally

Buy all three at once, for $400, and I will throw in a free If an Octopus Could Palm deck.

I'm keeping this deal up through this Friday, and taking it down after that.

PM me to set up a sale!

Shipping comes with tracking.

Playing Card Plethora / The rarest decks I've found over the years
« on: June 17, 2014, 09:19:16 PM »
Hey y'all, I've been reducing the size of my collection for quite some time now. Here is my final collection - the one I plan on keeping until I'm old. All of these decks either have personal meaning or are somehow rare/vintage. These are only my sealed decks, not my open decks (of which there are hundreds...) My collection used to be over 5,000 decks, and now I think it's less than 100 sealed, and about 200 opened.

Yes, all of these are sealed, in cellophane (if they didn't originally come in cellophane, I sealed them myself in the same cello that USPCC uses!)

I used to know the print date of each deck but I've since forgotten. :(

Hey guys! I'm in the process of making some big life changes and that means I unfortunately can't hold on to my personal collection of decks. While I am keeping my vintage decks for now, my personal collection consists of many of the rarest decks from 2005-2011. I'll be selling them at a competitive price!

Smoke & Mirror Luxury White x1 - $40

Smoke & Mirror v4 w/Seal x3 - $40 each
These are the ONLY S&M decks to have a custom seal on them. The v4's were released in three editions. The first had the seals, the second had no seals, and the third were the recent reprints. These are the sexy seal-having ones. :D
Sealed in perfect condition. I've overused the word seal. Don't go clubbing baby seals.

Smoke & Mirror v5 x9 - $18 each
These aren't the reprints.
Sealed in perfect condition.

Smoke & Mirror v6 x6 - $11 each
These aren't the reprints.
Sealed in perfect condition.

Sealed in perfect condition.

Ellusionist Black Ghost 1st Edition UV500 x3 - $85

Ellusionist White Ghost 1st Edition UV500 x4 - $25
Back before whatever Ghost decks they're selling now, Ellusionist had what was arguably the best handling modern deck. The v1 White Ghost features UV500 finish, still printed in Cincinnati.
Sealed in perfect condition.

Ellusionist Red Artifice - $40
Sealed in perfect condition.

Vortex Prototype One Deck - $55
The sealed Prototype Two deck sold on Kickstarter for over $200. This is the first prototype of the Vortex deck. The cards were hand cut by USPCC and are printed on a much thicker card stock with a really interesting finish. The cards feature the original super-thin border. You can see the Proto One deck in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30RjNPSZ_MY

Ellusionist Red LTD x5 - $25 each
Again, these are the originals.
These are sealed in perfect condition.

Theory11 JAQK Cellars Misprint x1 - $20
Same deck as above, but the tuck case art and embossing is shifted over by about a centimeter. The cards inside are not affected (tuck cases are printed separately from decks). This is one of a kind, and these misprints happen extremely rarely!
These are sealed in perfect condition.

Red Crown Deck First Edition x1 - $10
Again, screw reprints! These are the first decks ever released by The Blue Crown.
These are sealed in perfect condition

David Blaine's Series A Red Set - $250 Only One Left!
I can't even find them on eBay so I have no idea what to price them at now. Only 100 of these sets were ever made, so that's 200 decks total.
One deck is signed by David Blaine in each set, the other is sealed. They have a gold tear-away strip and a gold seal.
You will get set #99 or #100, or both if you buy them both. They come with a card signed by Jamie D. Grant signifying which set it is.
Each set comes in a black collector's case that has the Split Spade logo etched on the top.
These are sealed in perfect condition.
These are probably some of the rarest modern decks in existence, as less than 100 people in the world own them.

I am only selling these to people who buy at least $20 worth of stuff.
These are sealed in perfect condition.

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / So I work in a bank now...
« on: December 19, 2013, 12:40:37 AM »
And it's really tempting to perform Fraud, especially because of how many anti-counterfeit measures we have.

Still, I need a reliable bill-switch since I wouldn't be wearing a coat indoors. Anyone have any (ORIGINAL, not copyrighted) ideas about switching out your bill for theirs?

My current thought is to do it while I have them find a sharpie to sign the bill with, but it's risky and wouldn't work with multiple people around.

The Conversation Parlor / NEW FUNCTIONALITY: Choose your board language!
« on: November 19, 2013, 09:56:59 PM »

I added some long needed functionality to the site. You can now change the language the forum is displayed to you in by going to your Account Settings tab within your profile.

Current supported languages are: English, Spanish, French

I will now be adding more languages as time goes on, but if you guys have any that you want me to prioritize let me know here.

Keep in mind all posts must still be made in English.

The Conversation Parlor / The most active month since March!
« on: September 24, 2013, 03:58:27 PM »
I just wanted to thank all of the new members who have really spiced up the boards lately, as well as all the old members who continue to contribute great discussion and content every day.

September is officially our most active month (by a huge margin) since March of this year!

Why is this impressive? Because forums are more or less a dead software. Social networking is done via Facebook and LinkedIn. Communities prosper on Reddit and 4Chan. Tech support is the last place a forum will be helpful for in the new age of instant gratification.

All that's left are hobby and design forums!

P.S. When posting, have you tried changing the "message icon" field? You can select one from any of the following icons to display next to your threads! It really makes your topics stand out from the others.

Pick and choose any decks you want below, shipping is already calculated into the pricing. All the decks are discounted (it may not look like it, but the shipping is tacked onto the pricing like I said) and the more decks you buy, the more free stuff you get. I also have bulk discounts listed below. So before you freak out and go "OMG that's not discounted!" take into consideration the included shipping, the bulk discounts and the free bonus decks.

The Conversation Parlor / Updated Registration Agreement and ToS
« on: September 14, 2013, 05:04:13 PM »
So it occurred to me that it's been a while since I updated the Terms of Service when registering here. So I updated them. This is a reminder that by maintaining an account here, you agree to the terms below. A tl;dr of the changes to the terms is at the bottom of this post.

Quote
IMPORTANT: Our spam-bot filter catches innocent people from time to time. |||| If you cannot login to your account automatically after activating it via email, or you do not receive an activation email, please make a thread in the Feedback/Support board on the main page with a link to your account profile and your email, or try registering again. ||||

By signing up you agree that you are at least 18 years of age or have express parental permission to sign up on this forum. The staff at PlayingCardForum.com are in no way held accountable of what is posted on here, but you are. We have the right to ban under our own terms.

By registering, you agree that if anything you post or do is considered legally reprehensible, you may be subject to contact with the authorities. However, PlayingCardForum, the PlayingCardForum staff, nor any PlayingCardForum affiliates are in any way responsible for what is posted on these forums. This board is censorship-free and promotes free speech. Anything that is not in one or more of the following categories will not be in any way, shape, or form moderated, censored or bowdlerized: 1. Spam 2. Blatant harassment 3. Trolling and/or flaming. The spam board (The Lol-A-Query-Um AKA Lolaq) is not subject to these guidelines, and your content may be modified there.

By registering, PlayingCardForum is not responsible for your account maintenance, nor is it responsible to keep the content of the forum to your ethical liking. The PlayingCardForum promotes freedom of speech and freedom of viewership. If you do not enjoy a particular comment, it is within your rights to not view it, or to object it within your response.

Our Lol-A-Query-Um board is completely unmoderated and will remain as such. Posts in the Lolaq can be modified without the poster's consent for any reason.

The Discourse is a subsidiary of PlayingCardForum.com.

By registering on The PlayingCardForum, you waive your rights to not follow the rules stated in this registration agreement. Aside from what is stated here, PlayingCardForum and its staff reserve the right to moderate as they see fit.

Your account will not be deleted from the site under any condition. Any non-trademarked content you post here becomes the property of this forum. Any member divulging personal information of another member is at risk of having their posts censored. The staff at PlayingCardForum reserves the right to alter or censor any content that removes anonymity from its members.

WARNING - Certain content on this forum may not be appropriate for people under the age of 18. Please be wary of any thread titled "NSFW" or otherwise questionable in its content.

tl;dr:

- Changed "AetherCards" to PlayingCardForum
- Content in the Lolaq isn't moderated, but can be moderated (so in other words, your thread can be locked if it's too stupid to exist).
- Included a spam-bot disclaimer about failed registrations
- Added a clause that points out that no accounts will be deleted.
- Added a clause that protects members from having their personal information divulged publicly
- Added a clause that specifies that any content posted here is the property of the forum, and not the member (in other words, if someone posts a photo of the deck you're working on, the staff will not take it down for you, but you can contact the member and ask them to do so).



These are the only changes, and all of them were implied before the update to the ToS so nothing will change. This just serves as a friendly reminder to people that, for example, whine about how their terrible threads get moved to the spam boards.

That is all :)

Hey guys, me again. Before I sell more cards I'd like to off load my IAOCP books. They're in immaculate condition, brand new. They retail for $65 from D&D's website, plus their insane shipping costs, and can easily run you over $100.

(http://shop.dananddave.com/if-an-octopus-could-palm.html)

I am selling the books on their own for $25 each. I have a few left, so first come first serve.

Shipping domestic: $15 w/tracking
Shipping international: $35 (sorry, it requires special packaging due to their really awkward size). Includes tracking within the USA.

PM me or post here to acquire one of these!

Each purchase will come with one free Vortex deck.

Hey guys, before I get into the next brick sale, I'd like to sell my last Pure Smoke! It costs $147 (http://www.ellusionist.com/pure-smoke.html) but I am selling it for almost half of that!

Shipping domestic is $10, international is $25. This purchase will come with two free Vortex decks as well at no added cost, so you can use and abuse some cards guilt-free.

PM me to arrange your purchase. Thanks!

23
Hey guys. I am selling off my old inventory and rather than do it for inflated prices on eBay, I thought I'd sell it here.

The way I pick my bricks is by randomly pulling things out of my deck suitcase, and then slashing the prices by 10-50%+

You can pay via PayPal, and shipping per brick is $8 domestic, $25 international.

After each brick sells, I will pick 12 more decks and make a thread for them, so stay tuned.




1x Green Artifice
1x Smith Back Erdnase
3x T11 Monarchs
1x De'vo Blades Silver edition
1x Smoke & Mirrors v6 ORIGINAL
1x DB Split Spades Red
1x Blue Bicycle Masters
1x Red Bicycle Masters
2x Infinity

You save: 35%

Retail Value: $100
You Pay: $65

First come, first serve. Additionally, if you buy a brick, you will get an additional 5% off the next mixed brick I do. I'm looking to sell fast and get through my inventory within a month or two.

To buy: PM me on here, email me (spektralex@gmail.com) or post in this thread. Payments must be made within the same day as you get the invoice, or I will just sell to the next person in line.

Thanks for reading!

EDIT: I get my "retail value" prices from the company sites and the lowest eBay price for out of stock merch.

I can hear the panties dropping already.

I figured since I don't have the time or desire to ADD stuff to this forum, that someone who has literally been responsible for tons of the awesome content here should take the reigns.

He has some really cool ideas you guys will be seeing in the near future.

We may also be looking for new mods soon. We'd love fresh faces leading the intro board and The Talk Park.
