Title: What do you make of these Brown Wynns?
Post by: Linguist_ on February 29, 2012, 09:57:23 PM
I recently purchased a Brown Wynn logo deck on ebay. I was wondering about your thoughts on legitimacy. Seemed like a good deal to me, ~£30 ($50) all in.

It says that he already sold 8 of them. They definitely are real. And the price is pretty good. I say, go for it!

Isn't that a bit overpriced for a deck of Wynns?

Not really. Brown Wynns are usually priced around $40 USD

I found them for sale on the 1eyedjack for 15$. Or are they a different type?

Thanks! They'll have proud of place wrapped in bubble wrap once they arrive. I don't have any permanent place to put my cards just now, so that will be how they live until I do.

Those are the Signature deck. There is a Logo deck and a Signature deck - so called because of the back design. Compare the pictures below from 1eyedjack's site

Signature deck.

Logo deck.

There are the other colours in the variations too, but the Brown ones are perceived as more rare and more expensive than the other colours. Whether this rarity is true or not I don't know. The Brown ones are jumbo index though. If you wanted the cards to actually use them, then you should go for the other colours. The red and violet logo decks handle the same as the brown and are much cheaper.

This is overpriced: http://www.the1eyedjack.com/servlet/the-51/Wynn/Detail (http://www.the1eyedjack.com/servlet/the-51/Wynn/Detail)
 
The 1 eyed Jack looks like a good guy from his videos (well, I think he is a good guy), but I've never bought any deck from him. The prices on his website can be easily beat by others.

It's definitely authentic. I know it's already been said, but I looked at my deck, and the seal position, cellophane, and box look identical to mine, so it is authentic.

It's authentic and overpriced but not by much.  Getting them for $40 is pretty much the target value, but you find them for less occasionally.  The shipping to the UK is really cheap, though so that makes up for it.

Looks right to me. But I'd think the market price for these decks are around $30 if you buy from a collector. Retailers usually charge more for their own profit. If you're not in a hurry, just wait and observe the Sale/ISO thread, someone'll sell them sooner or later at a good price.

Looks okay to me. You can get it now if you want or what @sxjy(ikillyouforyourhardname) says, some one will eventually sell them at a good price.
I'm biding my time too. ^_^ someone was wanting to trade brown wynns for my v4s but we just traded ad cards LoL!

maybe you can wait for ebay to have bid on the brown wynn deck .. normally they will end at around 20 to 30+

You are just repeating what others have said. Also, it is VERY unlikely they will end around 20$. They are worth 40$ so I wouldn't see why they would end so low...

Those look exacally like my legit ones. Although I don`t really like the deck because of the Jumbo Indexes.
