Hi there, I'm after 2 to 3 standard bicycle centurions by Theory 11. My minimum offer is $8/deck. I am situated in Australia if you wish to calculate shipping fees too.

Thank you
If I were an eskimo, I would build my igloo next to a supermarket.

I'm looking to get some also.

I found a website that offers them for a reasonable price, but I'm not certain if they ship outside of the US.

I'm reasonably sure they'll ship out of the country, but it won't be cheap shipping to Australia.


Have you checked out some of the Asia-based shops online?

I've the website linked by billysac, even though there was an outside us shipping option, I couldnt seem to get it to work. I can't find them on some magic websites and when I do, they're sold out :(

Bear in mind that T11 is known for creating reprints of their decks - and they don't always sell them on their own site.  For something as old as the Centurions, the originals would be marked Cincinnati while current-issue reprints would be marked Erlanger, assuming they're even out there.

There have been known instances where T11 ordered new printings of old decks, didn't offer the new printings for sale on their site, but released them to dealers to sell in their stores.  Two such instances would be the Black Stingers and the Propaganda decks.  Newer versions are clearly marked as having been made in Erlanger, and not Cincinnati like the original printing was.  For decks originally made in Erlanger, there's no way to know without careful scrutiny (on the off chance of changed copyright dates and/or other markings) whether you're holding a reprint or an original.  The market has started adjusting for this.  First-printing Propagandas and Black Stingers are getting a premium price while the second-printing versions of each are getting a discounted price.


The Centurions are old enough to have been made in Cincinnati on the first printing.  Newer printings, should they exist, would be marked as made in Erlanger.
