Playing Card Plethora / Re: New Pr1me Decks: Series 001 (3rd Ed.) and Noir
« on: January 13, 2014, 04:57:57 PM »Hi Don,
Sorry about my slow response but I was away.
I've decided that Conjuring Arts will carry the No1r deck. I'm not sure on the price but they won't be super expensive. Probably $7.95 a deck plus shipping.
One caveat is that these are from a different factory than either Pr1me editions or Sketch decks. For me, as a cardman, I prefer the first Pr1me decks over either sketch decks or No1rs but that is just me. In fact after using the same Pr1me deck (red) for over a year it is still a favorite. After they break in they stay in a very Jerry's like condition and I love that. This is not the case for the Sketch decks and I haven't field tested the No1r enough to make any claims about it.
We will build a product and have the decks available very soon.

Excellent! Thanks for the update!

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Bicycle Diploma Playing cards - Coming soon to KS
« on: January 12, 2014, 04:13:40 PM »Sad to see them change the colors, the original color set was nice. Different and stood out. Now it's just another gold scroll on black design. I already ordered the Bicycle Gold deck.
Not appreciating the pips either, can't quite place my thumb on it, maybe they just don't feel like they mesh well with the rest of the deck design.
I was very interested in the original post, I'm not interested at all after looking at the KS teaser.
I have to agree here. I find the colour change to black a bit boring. I was looking forward to the original deck because i find the colour combination much nicer.
I'm not saying that black and gold ain't nice, but there seems to be so many black and gold decks jumping on the band wagon now.
You can add me to this bandwagon. I liked the light blue / gold combo, not so much the black / gold one. Doesn't have the same panache.

You don't know the secret behind these? Here I thought everyone knew about trans matter displacement...
The value of a tax stamp sealed deck would be greatly affected by the process. Think endoscopic.

Was a busy day for my mail carrier. They're all nice decks except for the War of Kings, which has nice art just horrible printing and packaging. I couldn't examine it too much because the off-gassing of the cards was unbearable. Not like the sweet smell of a new deck from USPCC or some of the Asian printing companies at all.

Marketing 101. Limit accessibility to increase desire. They're printing the cards, releasing detailed pics and saying, look how nice these are, aren't they just dandy? Oh, and BTW, you can't have them. They're for our super secret squirrel club, never to be released to the general public.
They will release some in a limited method, part of their mixed bricks or buy XXX amount and get our Secret Squirrel S&M deck free. Then sometime later there will be the statement, "Due to popular demand, and that we just happened to "find" some crates in our warehouse, right by the front door, marked 'To be released to general public on XX Date' we will be releasing these to you all. Just $44.95 a deck, get 'em now while they last as we won't be printing any more S&M decks."

And it ends with a 50 point prize. I pulled in just over 1000 pts, no other prizes. But hey, that's 1000 points I didn't have before and didn't have to spend money to get so I ain't complaining. Thanks for the fun T11! Hopefully you do something like this again next year!

A good rule of thumb - if a recent deck in a Cincinnati box has a black deck seal, there's a strong chance (a near-certainty) that the deck was made in Erlanger and not Cincinnati. Blue or red seals mean the deck is a Cincinnati deck, but you won't find them on the new Bicycle Standard boxes, at least not yet.
Thanks for the info Don, that's exactly how these two were sealed, Cinci w/ Blue, Erlanger with Black. Will have to head back there and see how the other one is sealed.

My spin today resulted in a 2 Free Spins, which netted a 50 point win and nothing else. Would love to at least get a free deck in the next couple of days it's available. Don't have a Red Jaqk, Wynn or Propaganda deck in my collection.

I picked up 2 decks of Bees from the local Walgreens, 1 red and 1 blue. They were on the same hanger one right in front of the other but when I opened them, the 2 jokers & guarantee card for the red deck are marked Cincinnati OH while the blue deck has only 1 joker and guarantee card marked Made in USA & Erlanger KY. Both boxes are also marked the same with Cincinnati OH on the side.
Nothing major I know, but I found it interesting. Especially since its kinda hard to find Bees where I live. As an aside, I'd say the blue deck marked Erlanger handles better.

Since my great great grandfather came over from Poland, at least one member of each generation of my family has served in the Army, so needless to say, I can't wait for these. Not to mention all the friends I have that have or are still serving in the Army.
Really looking forward to the whole series, thanks for taking it on Jackson.

Got my Fed 52 Part II in today. Beautiful cards, and I really can't add anything to what's already been said about them. Really they are incredible. But I do have one thing that's bugging me and wondering if it happened to anyone else, my LE edition cards, they aren't sequential. Received #'s 430 & 432 but otherwise, magnificent cards.

finally they are lunching the new deck
Quite interesting and I'd be in for some, but that shipping is killer. Will CARC be carrying these as well like the other deck or is there a different venue to purchase their decks from that doesn't require selling a kidney to cover the shipping to the US?

Count me as another one that supports ya Benny. That email was a big red button that said, "Do not press." Of course it's going to get spread around, and I would just about guarantee that the people that worded that email knew it would. What better way to drum up some hype and excitement than by telling everyone they're a member of the super-secret squirrel club? Hell, if I had received it, I know i would've posted it.
Can't believe how some people here are ready to crucify the guy for posting an email...

Personally I'm looking forward to the deck and it will be interesting to see what changes they will be implementing.
Anyone receive anything about how to renew yet?
Side note, I won the recent contest, set of tumblers and 4 espionage decks.
