Playing Card Plethora / Re: Casino Decks - my recent obsession
« on: April 11, 2013, 08:02:20 PM »
Have you ever seen the Bee Tech arts (my avatar picture)? Those are by far my favorite casino decks. I love the design, but they're so very hard to find (although I've managed to pick up 2 in my time) so i'm still debating whether or not to open one. Probably going to save it for a special occasion.

"Only 2,500 of these decks will be made and only 1200 will be made available on Kickstarter."
Will the rest be sold elsewhere? If so, what is the advantage of preordering via Kickstarter, as opposed to purchasing them after the preorder is concluded? Will there be a price difference or something?

Havent seen a link posted yet, so here ya go, decks can be purchased HERE: http://www.ellusionist.com/ltd-blue-playing-cards-deck.html
Honestly I really like this deck. I know alot of people aren't a fan of recolorings, but I'm not really interested in basically blowing $50-60 to open a red deck when I can get a blue that I can acutally play with for $6. I like blue better anyways.
EDIT: and I LOVE the silver pips. Sooo purdy

« on: February 01, 2013, 04:49:12 PM »What is a click-bend?
Im sorry but i cant relate to that word.
Some decks have warped for me, but they usually get that way because of the climate i live in, but i dont know if we are talking about the same phenomenon.
Any help here?
Also, dont bash the cards yet, consider that not all the cards made in the batch are A+ quality, for me some of the White lions, were really bad, others were amazing (specially the black ones).
So it could be that you guys have some of the bad ones?
But I agree that this are not the "OMG CHEAPEST" cards i have bought, they were expensive.
A click bend is a warp where the deck is slightly concave or convex, and when you push in the middle, the deck "clicks" or "pops" in and out of those states.
I'm not really bashing the deck, just giving my opionion. I gave both pros and cons to the deck and overall I think it's a "good" deck. Would probably even be "great" if it didn't have the click bend.

I just received mine and honestly, I have to agree with Sr15 and say these were a little over-hyped. I'll start with what I like about them:
Good:
- Thin snappy stock, nice finish and smooth edges.
- I like the thin borders, makes fans look nice.
- The puzzles were fun.
- I like the jokers, back design and AoS.
Bad:
- Faros are quite bad initially, and dont get much better after breaking in.
- The court cards are kinda ugly. If, like Blaine, those are his friends and co-workers, then I really feel bad for the guy.
- CLICK-BEND! I haven't had to deal with a click-bend warp with a USPCC deck in a lonnngg time. This basically ruined the deck for me. I'm not really buying the fact that they were built for extreme climates. I've yet to be able to get the warp out of my deck.
- The overhype about how much cheaper they are. From what I've seen, they're sub-par to uspcc decks. Also, they dont have alot of the intricacies that usually drive up the uspcc prices, like deep embossing/debossing, sturdy tuck box, intricate design (i.e. multiple metallic inks, custom pips). I'm aware that they were shipped from Tiwan but even so, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Blaine release Silver Split Spades (a uspcc deck) for $2-3 some time ago?
Anyways, They seem like a fine deck, I'm sure if my deck didn't have a click warp, I'd really enjoy them. Wouldn't say they're "changing the game" but I'd recommend picking them up if you can get past not being able to faro them and the chance that they might get a click warp that would ruin them. Even if they are ruined, I like the design and the puzzles were fun. If I'm able to get my warp out I'll update this, although it's not looking promising

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Love Me deck from Theory11
« on: January 27, 2013, 09:23:03 PM »I'm pretty sure many people will know who Curtis is, considering his "Love Me" tagline has been endorsed by Nike, Vans, as well as being displayed in bathroom stalls and brick walls in NYC.
I've never heard of him :/ and I'm a 19 year old college student with a closet full of nike apparel, so I wouldn't say it's because I'm out of the loop.
Anyways this deck reminds me of IAOCP. I actually really like the back design but it would have been nice if they customized the rest of the deck. The clean and definite nature of standard pips and court cards doesn't really fit with the hand-drawn, indefinite theme of this deck.

Randy has a link on his website to pick up the chips here: http://www.abcgiftsandawards.com/ornatepokerchips.htm
It's honestly quite expensive, but I have no idea what production costs for poker chips are, especially ones with that many intricacies. And damn they're beautiful, I wish I could dish out $350 on the set.
As for the decks... Good lord, those things are gorgeous. And my 2 favorite colors! Definitely picking up a brick or so. Randy, do you plan on making those awesome brick boxes again?

Alex was probably taking good traders like you into account when he lowered the requirement to only 25 - he had edited the post but missed replacing some of the "100"s with "25"s. I've since corrected that; the requirement is 25 posts in other relevant boards.

The Pasteboard Bazaar - Sales, Trades & In Search Of (STISO) / Re: *READ FIRST* Rules
« on: January 20, 2013, 09:40:06 PM »New rule:
No one may post in the STISO unless they have at least 25 posts in the other forum topics, not including the Lol-A-Query-Um and Feedback/Support. The only exception is if they're selling on eBay and wish to post their sale, but that doesn't count toward the 100 posts.
This rule is in place to reduce possible fraudulent trades. We have the most trouble with traders that have few if any posts. They swoop in, make offers too good to be true, and they usually are. By doing this, I'm making people who want to sell here become part of the community first, so we know who they are to some extent before getting involved with a trade with them. 100 posts isn't a very high barrier, but it's high enough that a scammer wouldn't be interested in bothering to try ripping people off here and would move on to somewhere else.
Wait, 100 or 25 posts? I dont have 100 yet :/

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Steamboats & New Fan Backs: D&D collaborations with USPC [new decks]
« on: January 19, 2013, 04:44:44 AM »OK, enough with the mislaid post!
Been playing more with the cards. The NFBs are good, but not exceptionally different in handling than practically any other new custom Bike deck. I like the gold accents on the box and the colors used on the faces - I tend to prefer darker colors. Plus, who doesn't love the New Fan Back design? It's among my favorite Bike backs.
The Steamboats, on the other hand, are pretty interesting. Smooth deck, smooth handling and the stock reminds me of Tally Ho - it's firm without being overly so. Smooth decks tend to be stiffer in general and this one's no exception, but it has good give when shuffling and I get the feeling that cardists might like this one.
Don, have you tried the older steamboats? If so, how do you think they compare?
Quick question....how much are the old Cincinnati steamboat decks worth?
Although they're quite hard to find on ebay (talking about the modern "old steamboats"), they normally only go for $10-20 which is surprising for a deck with that kind of apparent scarcity.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Legends Deck, coming Jan 2013 from David Blaine and Bill Kalush
« on: January 19, 2013, 04:34:08 AM »See, now, the problem with your statement is that you quoted my discussion about the value of rare cards when I was simply writing about the RARITY of rare cards, not the value. That kinda sucks the wind out of those sails, doesn't it? 3,888 of each color means that there's 3,888 of each color - you're lumping them together when they're really separate, much like Zen Kok's Gold Seal New Fan Backs or the Ornate decks. The fact that there are 11,664 in total does nothing to change the fact that only 3,888 of each color exist, just as the fact that 6,000 GSNFBs were made doesn't change that there's 5,000 black decks and 1,000 white ones. By your argument, the Gold Arcane deck's print run numbers should be the total of all runs for all three versions of the deck: gold, black and white. Same for the Artifice deck in red - there's now five different versions of that deck. But that's not how people consider a deck's rarity.
I wouldn't say so, I see what sr15 is saying. Because of the fact that all 3 of the decks were released at the same time, they are part of one "version". When decks with similar designs and print runs are released at the same time like that, they tend to accumulate their rarity and print run numbers into one lump sum. I'm assuming this was his thought process and so by that logic, he was correct to say that there were 11k (legends v1) decks printed, as he never said there were 11k of a specific color printed, like you implied with the arcane and artifice analogy. Deck versions and deck colors are 2 very different things.
11k IS quite a large print run compared to the 5,000's, 2.500's, and less that alot of modern decks are being printed at.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Price of rare decks?
« on: January 12, 2013, 12:25:20 PM »
It's really not possible to generalize "decks people prize", especially not into 8-10 decks. I can think of a good 15 decks off the top of my head that are worth more than most of those decks, and even then, that's just monetarily. Everyone has different tastes, so they prize different decks.
Anyways, if you're looking for market values of these decks, eBay probably is your best bet, because eBay IS the main market.
I'd suggest looking up "completed listings" to see how the decks are actually selling. Just because someone has an LTD listed at a Buy it now for $200 doesn't mean the deck's actually worth that. However, when you look at the completed listings and see a couple of different listings of the LTD's have sold for $40-$55 recently, It's pretty safe to assume that's a good average of the market value.
