The Conversation Parlor / Advice on buying from ebay
« on: January 14, 2015, 07:10:52 AM »
Hi guys, I've been trawling ebay a little and have come accross these which seem too good to be true (bearing in mind the $6 international shipping)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/181238559747?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0

Has anyone bought anything from these guys before? I'm worried they might be knock offs due to the slightly strange box and the price.

Thanks

Long shot - as no one seems to have any of these but I'm really after an original blue blood as I only need that and a red royal optik to complete my uusi set. Will start offer at $40 (£25) and will need shipping to UK. Happy to budge a little on price too.

Thanks guys

The Conversation Parlor / Other hobbies
« on: September 08, 2014, 05:57:29 PM »
So I was just wondering what card collectors do in their own time, except collecting cards? Does anyone have any other interesting hobbies? I spend a lot of time playing with downhill bikes and people in those circles are always surprised when they see my stash of cards. Was just wondering what else the rest of you guys do?!? Any pics or stories would be interesting

Design & Development / Printing and finishing
« on: August 12, 2014, 05:42:53 AM »
Hi guys, I am looking for some advice from anyone in the know regarding the printing / finishing process of playing card manufacture.

My wife and I have an architectural studio in the UK and are expanding into product design - and hopefully are going to be producing some playing card decks as well. We have some strong concepts for the design of a limited series of decks but have a query regarding the options in printing a deck.

We are hoping to do the printing ourselves (not for cost, but rather to achieve the effect we want), using manual methods to produce a run of 500 decks - which I am aware puts us outside the remit of USPC or EPCC, however manual press printing on any more than 500 decks just isn't possible to us. Is anyone aware of a way for us to ink the decks then have the finish applied afterwards? I presume this may mean a back and forth from the factory / us which will prove prohibitively expensive. Also it would mean printing full uncut sheets which we do not have the capacity to do, we are looking at manually crafting the individual cards.

There is always the option for us to have card pre-cut and print individually, however it is again the finish that I am concerned with. Raw card will not be adequate for a deck of cards.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Tom

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / Use for Mystifying Oracle gaff card
« on: August 08, 2014, 04:03:01 AM »
I have recently picked up a set of the bicycle and unbranded versions of the Mystifying Oracle deck. I was just wondering if anyone had a deck and had come up with any interesting ideas for the use of the gaff card or the planchette / ouija board card that comes along with it? I'm sure you could create some great creepy tricks with this one.

I've been collecting playing cards for a while and have been a long - time lurker on these forums and have decided to register as I'd like to get involved in some of the discussions you guys are having and also have some questions of my own that I hope you can help with.

Cheers
