Title: Brown Wynn Cellophane?
Post by: loldudex2 on January 29, 2012, 12:53:17 PM
Now I'm not sure what the difference is, but why is the cellophane on both of my Brown Wynn's so different then any of my other decks. It is really "crackly" if you understand what I mean. It literally feels like holding the deck will make the cellophane fall off. Can anyone tell me why this is?

I have the same issue.  Not really sure why this deck seems like the only one that has this

I don't have any Brown Wynns but some decks seem to have tighter cellophane than others. Like my red artifice decks have the tightest cellophane in my collection and probably the Tally Ho Vipers have the loosest cellophane in my collection.

It is kind of like the Viper Cellophane, but it feels looser. It also feels like a different material then most cellophane.

Theory11 had a deal where if you spent $50 on Black Friday you got a Brown Wynn for free, which I did twice.

Brown Wynns used the old Ohio cellophane that had a lot of variables to it. All of my Ohio decks seem to be wrapped differently, sometimes with different materials.

Anyway, if any of you guys suffer from TCS (torn-cellophane-syndrome) pop out some double stick tape and a box cutter. Cut a piece of the tape into the shape you need to repair the cellophane, pick it up with the cutter, and slip it under the wrapping and press. :)

Yeah, it seems they're all like that.  I think it's maybe thicker cellophane, applied more loosely plus age.

I just bought my 4 Absolut Vodka decks and all four are the same..I did try researching and asking about it but I am sure Alex nailed it on the head...Old Ohio cello with different variables would and obviously sounds most logical...Yet, this had to end during or a bit after 2005 since AV decks were out of print at that point...I have no other Wynns than the Brown one in cello. I have a Purple but it was used and bought off eBay. I am now interested in checking the similarities of Brown Wynn vs Absolut cellophane...Wonder what comes up :)
