A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Re: How about antique cabinets to store and display your collection?

Antique cabinets are great, at least for the best display items. Here's a terrific one I found. I'm not sure what it was originally built for, but it's perfect for two rows of playing cards.

Sweet Jesus!!   I love the Bicycle decks in your collection!

I've slowly started building my vintage collection, but I'm very VERY jealous of yours





If you ever decide to sell... please contact me

Hank,

There's no way you can say that these aren't based on Jackson's cases.  They're pretty much the same cases.

His dad is Mike Guistolise.  He owns Collectable Playing Cards, and a few other companies.

Mike's a great guy.

BUMP!

Let's help Scott get this project funded by spreading the word!

I don't think EPCC makes their cards in the USA.... so you really can't put that on the box

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Question on Modern Decks

Rarity is a hard thing to narrow down. 1000 runs of decks are more and more common now.
I have a few different non-full production prototype decks from Bicycle that I consider rare.

Like the Blaine Prototypes












If we're talking rarity by the numbers ( by one of the majors )... I would say the Gold Monarch is the rarest deck I own.
Only 144 were printed, and only 111 were sold. You can read more about them here:
http://thecardcollectors.blogspot.ca/2012/06/gold-monarch-vs-normal-monarch-theory11.html

If we're talking rarity because of how it was distributed and how hard it is to find... I would have to say the Bicycle Grand Opening deck.
These were handed out at the ceremony celebrating the grand opening of the new USPC plant on August 20th, 2009.

Playing Card Plethora / Bicycle Bigfoot - Coming Soon

I came across this last month, and I've been trying to get better pics from the author of the article, and Nadine (the USPC rep in the pic)

The author only had this one crappy pic, and Nadine can't release any photos for a couple more weeks.

But, here it is... right beside the new Bicycle Craft Beer / Cocktail Party decks

Well, Merz put these on his Ebay today.  Not sure if these are exclusive to him.. or a release from BigBlind... but either way, this is just lazy.. and the tucks look like crap.











I refuse to post the links to Merz's Ebay page... because it's Bill Merz.

Just a quick bump, as I have heard some folks were looking for this topic.  It's long, combining three topics together, but it's a great story about the crew teaming up to help a man recover from a serious natural disaster and restore his collection to even better than it was before.

It's worth reading.



Thanks for merging them Don.  It was amazing how the community came together.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!!! 40K EARLY UNLOCK!!!!!


Hey everyone!

So, we've been going back and forth on if we should wait to release the 40K item early or not. Ultimately, we decided that if we wait until we naturally hit 40k, there might not be enough time for backers to make their decision, so we've landed on an early release. YIPPIE!!!!!

The 40k item is AWESOME! BUT, it does provide a bit of an interesting situation.

****PLEASE READ****

In order to actually have these exist, we have to have AT LEAST 20 backers for it. If we don't have at least 20 backers, then it's a no go.

So, here's how we'd like to proceed.

    IF YOU'D LIKE ONE OF THESE AWESOME DISPLAYS, SIMPLY COMMENT ON THE KS UPDATE HERE: http://bit.ly/KSUPDATE - DO NOT UP YOUR PLEDGE YET!
    WE WILL KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY FOLKS WANT THEM, AND THE MOMENT WE HIT 25 (need to have a buffer in case people cancel), WE WILL SEND OUT ANOTHER UPDATE, AT WHICH POINT EVERYONE CAN UP THEIR PLEDGE!

So, here's the AWESOME 40K unlock!







These are simply stunning. Talk about a real attention grabbing item. It literally looks like an award for being AWESOME for BADASSARY! Is that a word? :)

 COMMENT ON THE KS UPDATE HERE: http://bit.ly/KSUPDATE ...and let's make it happen!

I SEE A BAD MOON RISING!

TODAY IS THE LUNAR ECLIPSE!





That means at 8PM (EST), that's 8PM in Virginia in the USA, an update will be sent out!

This update will have an item that will be made available in limited supply. 35 to be exact.

As far as I know, the item we're going to be offering has not been offered before ever, so we believe it to be truly unique.

As always, it will be first come first serve, so you will need to comment on the update itself to secure one.

To recap:

    It will be limited to the first 35 who comment on the update. We will start a "drop-list" after that, so still comment if you want one.
    Please, no other comments on the update, as it makes counting difficult :)
    This will only be available tomorrow, so don’t hesitate!
    Again, this will be released at 8PM (EST) – That’s 8PM East coast USA time

GET READY TO HUNT MY FRIENDS!!!!
