New deck on ebay, it's call the Red trace deck. I'm not interested but thought I'd share anyway, pretty bland really but hey ho.

It looks nice, but $30. No I'll pass.

I like the look of this deck but I'll be passing on it

yea $30 is to much, but the design is cool

For $30 you can get 1 or 2 other known rare decks

ehh i can't really tell because theres no pic of the number cards or court cards.

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 20, 2011, 02:45:26 PM »

the jokers are pretty cool. no way id spend 30 on it though.

Evan · « **Reply #7 on:** October 20, 2011, 02:46:20 PM »

I don't think the jokers look nice

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 20, 2011, 02:47:45 PM »

they definitely don't look "nice" that's for sure. just different really, which i like.

sinsandman · « **Reply #9 on:** October 20, 2011, 05:41:20 PM »

Yeah, the jokers look tooney in a bad way

Guys, do NOT buy these decks. They are not designed by any particular artist. Want to know what's going on here? Well, an eBay wholesaler pays the USPCC to design a clipart deck and does a small print of them so that he can say "these are super rare!"

The decks takes only a few days to produce (to add perspective, a typical deck from T11, E, or us here at Aether takes at least six months to make).

They're an insult to the card community at the price that they go for. We are better than that.

In my personal opinion I think its a $5 cool deck. Just not $30 cool. Yahn mean?

I agree. That's the problem I have - this isn't the first time this dealer has done this. He is continually releasing "rare" decks to make a quick buck off of people.

Weak!!! We need to just stick to what we know is quality and leave the trash alone.

Yeah, people nowadays are buying cards because of it's rare more than it's good.

Yea its the same guy

I honestly like the design of the Zebra deck. it's so obscure, it's cool.

John B. · « **Reply #18 on:** October 20, 2011, 09:25:41 PM »

yea if it was $5 i would get it.

Well, I don't like his design very much.

sinsandman · « **Reply #20 on:** October 21, 2011, 07:57:25 PM »

nope, come on. A little money and a piece of clip art does not equal rare or good

Jin Jian · « **Reply #21 on:** October 22, 2011, 08:41:56 PM »

it too expensive $30 and it still need bidding

sinsandman · « **Reply #22 on:** October 23, 2011, 02:24:43 AM »

If we make these decks fail at selling, maybe they will get the hint

that might work, I remember alex posting something about all the dumber decks coming out and what they were doing and maybe if people stop buying those people will once again start to put time and care into the decks.

Or go broke putting out crap decks that no one buys...either way they go away
