Title: ISO: Club 808 decks
Post by: skinny on November 23, 2016, 09:34:11 PM
Since I had good luck re:Norwood Uncut, I thought I'd throw this out there...

Does anyone have any of the Club 808 decks in surplus they'd part with at a good price? They come up $reasonably on eBay, but (thanks to life and work) I keep missing them.

If you are in the US and don't mind open, but unused decks send me a PM.

Contact via PM for more info. U.S. shipping only.

I ~just~ got the Joker deck. Appreciated though! If you really need to part with your open one, let me know your price! (Dallas, TX here.)

Hi Skinny!

... Always great to meet new, enthusiastic collectors!

I'm more of an antique collector, but I was smart enough to buy a half-brick of the Club 808 Griffin Deck when they were available...

This is still my favorite modern deck, even though they are a few years old - they handle beautifully (reminds me of 1990s-era Bicycles). Plus, the embossing and foiling on the tuck can't be beat! ... It doesn't hurt that green is my favorite color!!

If you are interested, I'm prepared to part with one (sealed !) - I'll give it to you cheap! - PM me!

For me, parting with a deck is like putting a puppy up for sale: I'm more interested in knowing that it will be loved in it's new home than I am interested in the price-point ...!

Enjoy your addiction! - I enjoy mine!

Kruser

EDIT: I apologize for calling you a `new`collector - you joined the forum a year before I did!  ;)

Many of the Club 808 decks that didn't sell out are still for sale at bicyclecards.com

Still looking for club 808 decks? I have a bunch of perspective, some cigar, and probably some others.

I have quite a few now, finding the best prices I could across a few months. I've been so sporadic across this time that I can't even tell you which I don't have! Thanks for the bump, though. I might list mine here in the next week.

I have
Astronomy
Cigar
Club 808
Cobalt Luxe
Crimson Luxe
Espionage (foil)
Espionage (sideways)
Griffin
Joker
Jules Verne
Nightshade
Perspective
Speakeasy

I think the only ones I'm missing are Golden Luxe and Amber Stag.
Can you guess which one of these I can find pretty cheap?
Can you guess which ones I could have purchased, but decided to wait a week?

Can someone tell me if I'm missing any?

Just you're luck - you're looking for two of the decks that happen to be sold out at bicyclecards.com...  Most if not all of the rest are still available.  It's looking like you're going to have to try your luck at eBay or one of the aftermarket retailers.
