You can get the reprints of all the JN for cheap. Further than that I think Krystle would know. ;D

I was trying to get the Olympic decks from the Beijing games - have her look for those.  They're plastic, in metallic silver and gold, with images of the Olympic mascots.

Fake JNs (decks and uncut sheets) and fake Wynns (black, green, and purple) are all cheap there.

Nope not a collector, simply because it looks nice when they are framed up:)

 LoL most people don't know much about Beijing anyway, or any other parts of China. Also on a side note, Hong Kong is not China. ^_^

It would would be nice to know where in China she will be at. because if she happens to be in Beijing or even Tianjin then I could tell you to tell her where to go to get you decks from here.

Fake Nuggets here are really good quality... none of those crappy paper stock with rough (no) finish. :P
Lol

China permits Hong Kong a certain amount of autonomy, but to my knowledge, it became part of China when the British followed through on a treaty to turn it over back in 1999.  It was part of China in the first place before the British took it over.

And it's cool if you don't find any decks of the Olympic cards in your travels.  If you find them, great, if not, that's fine, too.
