Title: Guess what I found!
Post by: awesomeness12 on February 05, 2012, 03:58:22 PM
So my mom was cleaning out some kitchen drawers and guess what she found? An old rider back deck. The deck is at least 10 or 12 years old, but it still fans great! And all the cards are in perfect condition!  :D

I love when that happens. A few months ago we were going through some old boxes from when we moved a while back and I found a few decks. It was awesome!

Nope! It has a blue seal instead of black like I have seen on some newer rider backs.

Haha K. For me, the same thing happened, but with a S&M v4 in a card clip. Sealed, the cards were in perfect condition, but the box had slipped partly out of the clip and was slightly damaged. My cleaning lady found them, kept the clip, but threw the cards out. And the garbage truck passed by before  I learned about this. Too bad :(

You do know that Smoke and Mirrors version 4 wasn't a set, right?  That it was only one deck, one design?

Yes yes I do, the dark green colour a dark version of the 'Erdnase, indestructible The Expert at the Card Table book'. I'm aware that it's a single deck but I'm used to calling S&M sets for some reason, might be because its smoke and mirrors (Two things), its just me.. my bad.
