[EBAY] B'z Playing Cards - skeleton back USPCC

[phantom1412]

Never heard about them in UC. I think they are really rare.
Here is my ebay link for the completed set of B'z playing cards.

More pics can be found on the ebay page.
And written below are information about the decks. (Same as written in ebay page.)

You are bidding on a set of B'z playing cards.
There are 4 decks in this set, available in green, orange, blue and red.

***Green, Orange and Blue decks are all sealed, mint condition.
***Red deck is opened, slightly used, still fan perfectly.

These decks are made for 10 years anniversary of debut of B'z band's first album (Japanese Rock Duo).
The deck came with the purchasing of "B'z the best treasure" album released in 1998.
Only one deck per one album in random color.
So, it's hard to find a completed set of these.

These are made by USPCC. I believe it's air cushion finish. It feels like others bicycle brand decks.
One deck contains 52 playing cards with one colored joker, one black&white joker, and one card that contains information about B'z debut anniversary.
Each colors has it's own joker design. Ace of Spade and court cards are custom.
I personally like the court cards so much, K,Q,J are designed to be musician with their instruments.
You can see the court cards of the opened red deck in the picture above.

I have no information about how many of these are printed.
But they came with the limited album that is released 14 years ago.
Most of the decks are in hands of B'z 's fan, non-playing cards collectors.
So I think these are considered a rare set of playing cards cause it's really hard to came by one.

Happy bidding.
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

These will be shipped by EMS - Express mail. (3-4 days arrival with fully tracking system)
Shipped worldwide.

I'm surprised that no one bid yet.
These are really hard to find, it's 14 years ago and it's came only if you buy album of B'z band. (just 1 deck/album in random colors)

Please take a look.

This could probably be attributed to the fact that the band is relatively unknown in the States.  The weak economy and the rapid approach of Black Friday would be another - less cash to go around and knowledge that the big custom card companies will be planning something phenomenal makes buyers want to hold their cash for now.

But the biggest factor, I think, could be that snipers never bid until the last possible moment, in an attempt to snag the lowest price they can.

Checked on the auction: no bidders, but I did find something interesting.


Unlike most custom decks, this one has an AoS date code.  From what I can tell, the decks were printed in 1998.  (Or 1978, or 1958...  No, seriously, there's style cues as well, it's from '98.)

Yes, these are printed in 1998.
