Knowing the Series B will be released, It would be wise to stock up on the Series A. The price is only going to go up. I can see the Blue Series A fetching $35 - $40 a deck by the end of the year.
The opposite can also happen - especially if the Series B is nearly identical to Series A. People would start thinking that it's not worth paying more for an A when a B is available at retail.
Definitely fell in love with the series a white lions the first time I handled them. I was at a Calen morelli seminar thing and he let me fool around with them for a bit and I loved them, i've gotten a couple over the months but definitely not as many as I would like. Do you guys think its going to be the same cards as the last white lions?? Or maybe same stock and finish but a different design??
I also just noticed that on David blaines website for 25 dollars you can get a signed white lion AND a sealed one. I've seen the signed deck on there but didn't know it came with two decks.did it always come with two?? Either way I picked mine up today!
This is definitely looking like possibly my favorite release of the year purely based on my love of the original ones
I think these are going to be the same stock and finish as the original ones. Not necessarily the same handling though. Ink has a big impact on that.
As for the double deal on David Blaine's website, I don't know how long it's been there, but it already existed 2 weeks ago.
The double deal appeared shortly after the original Series A Blue sold out. He had a similar deal for the Split Spades Lions and the Bee Split Spades. There may have been more, I don't know. I do know this deal's been around for months.
I liked the deal he made for the Split Spades Lions, long after they were sold out - a red deck and a blue deck in a fancy box complete with an envelope filled with a handful of gaff cards! That deal was REALLY sweet.
I'll pick some up too... The box does look elegant. And I do hope the handling is on par with the Series A. I wonder if the back design is the same though. Hope they'll rework the design a bit, not sure how they might want to do that..
Speaking of the double deal on DB's website. I'm not sure if it's been asked already, but does it come with 2 signed Series A? Or is it just one? I'd appreciate it if someone could clarify that for me. Thanks.
One signed and one sealed that's not signed. I think its a pretty good deal because that's about 12.50 a piece which is about right for a white lion on the market right now anyways andyou get one that's signed for basically what you'd pay for just the two
Allow me to add a little more detail.
The set comes with two Series A Blue decks of White Lions. One is pristine and cellophane-wrapped with no autograph, while the other has the cellophane removed but is still sealed shut with the sticker seal, and it has David Blaine's autograph on the back of the box.
My guess would be the same back design as the Series A but with metallic blue and silver inks.
Maybe it will have a inverse color scheme? Probably not but who knows.
Well, I'm doubting there will be metallic ink on it. David's never used metallic inks before and it's clear that the idea of the White Lions was to make a more subtle deck without a busy design, something unassuming that won't trigger abnormal curiosity in the spectators seeing it in action.
Now an inverse design would be right up his alley. He's done many inverse designs in his previous releases. It does mean that if he's using the same stock, they will handle a bit differently because of the extra ink.
