I second the question, but not the profit motive!  I think you're intentions are as pure as the driven snow...

If it wasn't for the fact that my girlfriend, who barely tolerates my playing card collection in our one-bedroom apartment, would likely castrate me for bringing something this big home, then I'd say yes...

Yes but i think that he found where to get them but instead of sharing it with the community decided to take orders for them and then buy them for cheap then flip them for a nice little profit.

You know, that's actually a pretty good point... Why not tell us where he got them?

Guys, guys, please...  If he found a retailer just selling them at that price, he'd just cough up the link, right?  He's not the kind of guy to covet such information for personal gain...

I was going to say some more reasons that i think he could be getting them but i dont want to hurt sales for him. I just hope that if he is getting them cheaper he will tell us the link.

Screw this! Resale of sold out decks is one thing, to sale something that is regular in stock for twice the price is wrong. We are a community that should be taking care of one another...not scamming our brothers. THE UNCUTS ARE ON GAMBLERSGENERALSTORE.COM FOR $15

Careful with the accusations man!  The item on sale for $14.95 at gamblersgeneralstore.com is a Jumbo Index, just look at the picture.  MagicAddictz was offering to sell Standard Face rider back uncuts, (in red, blue AND black) which are actually harder to come by.

it doesn't say it, but there's a picture on the website, and the picture is of jumbo index cards.  Unless perhaps we're looking at different products.  here's the page I'm looking at:

i was going to say i cant remember the site but i think all the ones i could find were that price, but i do wonder if you talked to USPCC if you could buy them straight from them.

From what I've heard Gambler's general store IS USPCC.

What the hell are you talking about??

These are not the Jumbo Index.

Even if he did pay $15 for them, he still had to have them shipped to his house, repack them, and take time to ship them back out.  That's what most businesses on the planet do...

Buy a product, and then resell it at a markup... if you don't  like the price (which I think is a fair price), move along.

Look, even if he got them for $1, $30 for an uncut is a very fair price. I'd get on his case if he was asking for $50-100, but I can't imagine him making much money by selling them for $30 per uncut.

Although, EZ, if you are making little to no profit, just share a link/source so that no one has to pay shipping fees twice (once to ship to you, once to ship to us).

There is no link to it.
And the source is undisclosed at the moment.
I am making a little profit on these but honestly its not as much as I'd like.

The only problem I have is that we had a whole thread talking about where we could get these and we were all trying to figure out where to get them. Then he obviously figured it out but, instead of telling everyone where to get them decided to take pre-orders for them.  I am sorry but i just dont agree with that in a community. I feel a little betrayed here that he would do that.

Why is the source Undisclosed? so if you are making a profit the source is Undisclosed so you can make profit instead of letting people buy them for cheaper? >:( >:(

I don't know for sure how he's getting ahold of them (and I really don't care, that's his business).  Let me pose to you, however, a potential situation that could explain his actions:


He has a friend, who works as USPCC, and is not supposed to make the uncuts available.  However, this friend, has spoken with his boss and asked if he could sell a few to a friend.  With permission, he is allowed to sell "a couple" uncut standard rider backs.  EZ, recognizing the opportunity and wanting to provide the community with something that has clearly been sought after, proposes that he will acquire them for anyone interested.


As I said, this is a proposed scenario, but if this were the case, no one would blame him for keeping his source undisclosed as well as wanting to at least make a LITTLE profit on it.

Ok so I had emailed USPCC before this whole thing arose and i just got their response it was short and they said "we no longer sell uncut sheets." I would like to appologize to you Magicaddictz as i thouht you were buying straight from them for cheap cheap and taking advantage of us. But you clearly have an inside connection and i respect that you do not want to disclose that.

he may have found someone who was willing to sell a few but did not want to be bombarded with people asking for them.
