You had me at pillow fights.

Black, not green. That's correct. Thanks for the correction/clarification.

I agree with you 100% about the signatures, that's exactly my point on the reds. While I don't buy to resell, I definitely want to have the highest value retained in an item and with decks, I believe that unsigned appeals to a far greater audience.

I actually think it depends on who is signing the decks. DB's signature might add value to his decks considering who he is (Though still not to $100 in my opinion.) It definitely beats all new designers who without any reputation, prominence or influence of any sort who wants to charge extra for a signed deck. I'm sure they might turn out to be someone great, but you can charge extra for you autograph...later.

Another point to note is how hard it is to obtain that signature. If DB, as the magician he is, walks along the street, or is performing his magic somewhere, and you bring a deck (never before released as a signed deck) up to him to sign, sure, that definitely worth some sh*t. But if he is going to sign on 150 sets and just sell it off, i'm guessing it will not end up anywhere nearly as valuable. In fact, by doing this, if i went to a performance by DB and asked him sign the ticket stub or a DB T-shirt or something, it might end up worthing more than signing on a Red Gatorback, simply because, he has already done it 150 times before.

It has to do with location, quality and condition of the item being signed. It's no longer a new item once that cellophane is taken off. Deck producers can say its new, but we are the ones buying the item and we set the true value of the item by what we are willing to pay for it. 150 times before is not very much. People would pay $100 for it had it been done correctly. If David simply signed the box and a certificate w/ 2 brand new unopened red decks, they would be sold out for $100 already. There is no debate, its fact. It's a collectors market. We know what we want when it comes to signature items. It's not a matter of opinion. The proof is in the sales. Still available. I'll take a free David Blaine autograph all day. If David wants us to pay for his signature, do it right.

The only reason the White Lions Collectors Brick never sold out, was because at that point the White Lions Series_B were not in high demand. Most of us bought them individually when first released.

Wow. Really good insight into the collectors mind. Never thought about how the manner in which a deck was signed would alter its worth/desirability.  Cool stuff.

If you would like to know when a site updates without having to run to your computer here is a suggestion

This plug in for chrome is pretty nice https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-monitor/pemhgklkefakciniebenbfclihhmmfcd?hl=en You can set it to monitor for a change in a site globally, several pages, an individual page  or specific text on a page . It ignores ads and flash plugins that tend to signify a change with  similar apps. It will notify you of a change with an alarm sound.

It only monitors a specific page, not the entire domain. I want a domain monitor to see when a URL has been added (before google picks it up).

It will actually monitor the entire site and even show you all the updates that have been made since you last visited even updates that have been since deleted. By default it will follow the page you are on or text, links, pictures and videos you have highlighted on the page when clicked from the toolbar. To globally have it monitor a url go to the options page of the app and set the Desired url to watch. 

I found it using my magical interweb abilities. Unfortunately I just did it now and some jerk beat me to it.

Also. http://nickvlow.com/uncategorized/cat/

If you pick up the box set you have the option of adding the decks only, one time only, for Forty clams. If you do, you can snag a couple free gifts as well. Mini red LTD deck for example is one. I don't remember them all, slept since then.

Gottcha, thanks buddy.

Man... I was really excited about these. $125 for 6 decks, a box which (for me) might as well read
 " Here, throw this away for us."  Instead of "Prohibition", and..

As a Special Offer when you add the Prohibition Set to your cart, you'll be given the opportunity to purchase 6 Extra First Edition Decks that you can safely open and enjoy, allowing you to retain the collector's value of the boxed set.

You saw Sharps with the riffle?

Ultimate Universe sounds like a comic book deck to me. The creators usually  hate paying royalties so they get super creative. Unfortunately, as proven by their decision to create a comic book deck they infact are not very creative.


So. [(Ultimate Universe + comic book deck + bad deck) = Don screaming] ^{x  Indiana jones face melting due to opened arc}

Dammit Don, well done.  I make a concerted effort to use proper English and appropriate punctuation to avoid your corrections.  Burned again!

Oh, relax.  You know I was just pulling your leg!    Y'know, joke, humor...

Just remember that there are plenty of decaf brands that taste just as good as the real thing!

I'm pretty sure all meth is decaf Don.

Try his Twitter handle https://mobile.twitter.com/zachmonky  depending on how his account is set up you might be able to DM.

Not hitting "resume" and creating a prototype are a taaaaad differant. I will say that  it's good to see magic brought back to its Cocaine fueled, blood soaked bank heist origins. You know, for the kids and stuff.

Yeah you hooligans!! Get off Mr Boyers lawn with your sassy mouths and your fancy ebay talk! 

Madison himself states the deck was made for him to use and  give away..  never to be sold. He then on the same page is selling said deck with a  markup  based on a lie that he  just got done perpetuating. He is making money off the susceptible. He is  feeding off those willing to  eat any kind of  turd sandwich story he throws in their direction,  so  long as as it's done in a  torchered soul, totally badass way . .  might fall under legal, but it is nowhere close to ethical. 

In closing..

Either he's one of the dumbest I've ever experianced OR he's one of the most fake.

SooooOOOoooOOOOo not the right time to misspell a word. 

Yes, but they can choose to do what they want with the funds. The Kickstarter project page does not mention a donation.
