Hello all,

I want to get the whole set of five! What do you guys think of them??
Just wondering what the forum thinks these should cost me...

Playing Card Plethora / Bicycle Actuators Black edition and White edition

"Hey everyone,
Now that the artwork for the Actuators is done and at USPC, I am looking into the B&W variation that so many of you have been asking about. I need some input on which you think is the better route to go with these: A lighter more grid-like feel or stark contrast indicating depth,. I think I will still employ the metallic inks for the gears but I definitely want to hear what you all have to say about that as well."
Add him on Facebook to tell him what you think

I prefer the white one!
What do you guys think?

Playing Card Plethora / Art Fighters Playing Card Company - do your research.
« on: October 28, 2011, 11:07:55 AM »
Another company has thrown their hat into the mix.
And they have an odd policy...
Sit down people... here we go..
Q. What is the "back-to-sealed" policy?
A. The Back-To-Sealed™ policy is a unique policy for our valuable decks of cards. It means that you can open and use your deck, send it back to us to have it destroyed, and get a new, sealed deck so that it retains its value. This way you do not have to worry about your deck losing its value once you would open it. The number stands for the maximum amount of times and years that you can use this policy.
WTF?? Seriously?
So, let's look at some stuff from the site...
http://afpcc.itsesproductions.com/index.html
A few of the sections are up, most importantly the playing card section.
COMPASS 822 by mismag822
Not bad.
MIRACLES decks
5 different colors, with borders and borderless... god, here comes another flood of cards.
I like the back design, but 10 decks of it is WAY too much
And for some reason, there's a 2nd Edition of this deck already listed on the site.
If you want to buy these I hope you're still sitting down... they're going to be pricey.
How do I know?? Look at the FAQ.
Q. Why do the playing cards cost so much?
A. Unfortunately, this is exactly what the cards cost to produce. With the exception of the Miracles 1st Edition cards, all of the decks are printed in rather small amounts of 1000 decks each. This, including the costs to have the decks shipped from the card manufacturers abroad to us, makes the decks as expensive as they are. We hope to produce cheaper decks in the future, but this all depends on the overall popularity of the first, more exclusive runs.
and
Q. Why does Shipping & Handling cost so much?
A. Shipping & Handling is a combination of shipping costs, packaging costs, payment service fees and a wage for one person to ship out each and every order. We tried to keep the costs as low as legally possible. Something that could make these costs seem rather high too, is the fact that we are located in The Netherlands instead of in the United States.
Any company that feels the need to post these Q&As BEFORE the decks even go on sale, already knows that their price point is WAYYY to high.
Anyway, just thought I'd let you guys know. Poke around the site
Sorry for such a long post

Playing Card Plethora / Theory 11 Monarchs pre-sale - Limited to 111
« on: October 28, 2011, 12:01:49 AM »
Theory 11 writes on FB
"Before 11/11/11, there will be 111. If you are fast enough. #monarchs #prerelease #10312011"
also...
"you won't know what it looks like until you open the box. If you're among the lucky few, you'll have them before anyone else."
and...
"11:00am EST. Didn't want anyone to have to stay indoors on Halloween night.
"
So to sum up...
Halloween day @ 11:am EST, be one of the first 111 to purchase Monarchs (sight unseen) before anyone else can on 11/11/11
Good luck!

Playing Card Plethora / What ever happened to the Magic Network?
« on: October 27, 2011, 03:17:44 PM »
www.magicnetwork.com produced some of my favorite decks.. the Bicycle Raider decks.
Their site has been offline for over a year, and I was wondering who now controls the Raider deck?
Does anyone know the history of the company? or who might have controlling stake in the Raider Deck design?
