Very fast.
Glad that I got 1.
But shipping is crazy. $44.75!
Thats because its a whole brick and its international shipping.


I usually about $20-30 when buying a brick of cards.
Never $44.75
But at least I got the $100, so it's okay. I have no choice anyway.

He meant ebay takes 10% of the amount you sell the item for. But I don't think it is actually 10%

Fiuuh... I tried many times to purchase 2 sets on US100 but it always said that the stock was sold out, I change the quantity to 1, and I got it !!, How I wish I could get 2 sets, but at least I get one now with USD 44,5 Shipping cost.

I tried again to purchase another set but was sold out for both USD 100 and USD 150.

I just click on the $150 price level and add like 10 of them.  And it says there are 4 left.

Knobz1!  Remember what I said in this topic a few posts ago - LIMIT TWO.  Placing any quantity above two won't give you an accurate number.  You have to actually attempt to check out to determine if any are left, and it won't tell you if there's more than two remaining.


I'm just glad I got two, even if I had to pay the extra $100 to do it.

Even though the count might be unaccurate the numbers keep changing everytime you update the quantity.  Im saying this might be because people have them in there cart but they havent finalized there order yet.  Thats why the numbers wont change until its final.  I checked the $150 price level a few minutes ago and it said 4.  I just check right now and it says 2.  So im thinking people are just taking there time finishing there order as long as they have them in there cart.  Thats all im guessing at  :-\

Before you posted this, I tried to add two to my cart.  Worked fine.  But when you go to the checkout, a message pops up telling you the item is sold out.  Got the same result when just trying to check out with one in my cart.  Doesn't matter which price point you use, the result is the same.  I could put fifty zillion in my cart, but it doesn't mean anything until I try checking out.

Dawdling with a rare item in your cart will reduce your chances of still having it when you've finally checked out.  Having it in your cart doesn't function like it does in a brick-and-mortar store - you can have it sold out from under you if you're slow about it.

Where were you over forty-five minutes ago?  Y'know, when they actually sold out?  :)


This item was EXTREMELY RARE.  If the Blue Crown can sell 5,000 Black Crown decks in under 35 minutes, did you honestly think it would take David Blaine a log time to sell 100 of these boxes?

You're right.  I was remembering just the ones at the $100 price point - the ones that I never got a glimpse of until after they were gone.

Since none of us are actually holding ours and Blaine wasn't offering Teleporter Express as a delivery option, I'd have to say, no, none of us knows yet...

Well, with the Black Crowns, even though they have 5k in stock, they sold for about $10 each - People would be more likely to buy at that price point. If they were equally priced and equally numbered, I'd say the Lions might sell faster.

Actually they sold 250 variety boxes not 100 and at $100-$150 they could have taken longer to sell because not everyone can afford that much, especially at this time of the year, but in the end they did sell out rather quick, but with lots of glitches imo. I also had the issue with trying to buy 2 and being told there was -1 quantity or not enough stock but when I bought just 1 it worked, did they change the limit to 1 each? Did anyone manage to get 2? I thought I had lost out but in the end I lucked out and managed to get one, even if it was for $150 plus $28 shipping. Some of those decks will bring me a few bucks on Ebay for sure.

KPop, we aren't talking about "Lions" - we're talking about a Variety Box, with White Lions, Split Spades Lions, Bee Split Spades...  Since I'm forced to guess which "Lions" you're referring to, I'll guess White Lions, in which case there are more Black Crowns than White Lions Series A Blue, or Series A Red, or both combined.  And they weren't being sold individually at Tuesday's sale, so what exactly is your point?  Please tell me you have a point...

Vmagic, someone beat you to it and corrected me!  ;)  But thanks.

I managed to buy two.  The only hitch I found was trying to get the "purchasable" version of the product description page to load at noon.  When it finally did, they were already going for $150 each.  Did you pay $150 for yours?  If so, it's not beyond possible that you bought the LAST one left, which is why you could only get one...

Hold off on selling them too quickly on Ebay.  The market's going to be flooded with decks and sets for a while, so the price will be lower than when they're more scarce and unavailable.  And while it's usually the case that, like a stolen car, sets like this sell for less than their individual parts in the aftermarket, it's entirely possible the opposite might be true - wait and see how the market shakes out and you might make a better profit.

Damn i wish i could`ve got one >:(  and also 10.000 POST IN PLAYING CARD PLETHORA!!! :D :D

You and many other people, Aaron - and was yours the 10,000th?

I got an interesting question about the UV deck.
Is it the blue white lions in red box, or is it rather purple back deck in red box?
Because if the back is the same as the blue white lion then maybe we could just out the blue white lion in red box ourselves.(If we have the red box)
