Title: White Lions Series "A" Red
Post by: CBJ on November 02, 2011, 02:05:51 AM
I don't really have much news on these.  Looking into finding out more.
I was told that the red editions were held back for David Blaine's personal use, I'll try to confirm

Please get us all the info as soon as you can, I want to know more. If this does go out to the public does the 1st white lions end up costing more? how does a new deck like this into the series affect the ones before it?

Thanks for the info.
And judging from the impossible bottle,  I believe some of them will be sold.
And I don't think David Blaine alone could use all (at least limited run) 5,000 decks himself.

Please get us all the info as soon as you can, I want to know more. If this does go out to the public does the 1st white lions end up costing more? how does a new deck like this into the series affect the ones before it?

Of course, the price of the previous one will up, but not that much I think.

Does the pic show a series a red? Cus it seems like instagram that's altering the colour.

If you look at the blue part of the box, you might notice that those blue doesn't change.
And I believe the red deck is highly possible.

Well they mentioned only 100 bottles were made. " Only 100 of these bottles were made"[/size], so they may have more decks. I would be guessing that there are many more decks.[/color]

I think it will be over $100.
And, I hope it won't come out yet. I have many plans on what to buy on black Friday.
My money isn't enough for my wishlist. T-T

I've never seen an AIP go for under $100.  More, well...who knows?


As far as the Series A Red - have you EVER seen a USPC run of just 200 decks?  He may be David Blaine, but still...  The odds are mighty slim that these decks won't be on sale - I'd even bet they'll be on sale Black Friday, along with the AIP.  He doesn't generally do the whole "buy X and get Y free" thing like E does, and I don't see many contests there either.

Yes, that does suck.  No way I'm going to have the cash or the justification to spend that much.  I promised myself that I wouldn't get a mega-expensive deck unless it was through a trade; I can't justify buying a deck of cards and another sealed forever in glass for $100 or more.  Once it goes over $20, I start questioning how much I really need it.

  I agree bro! I am not getting the AIP bottle for that price, I wish single decks were released but I am sure they will be released in the near future, not too worried about that. As for TheBlueCrown, the cheapest shipping price is $23.55 which deterred me from completing the order :/ Funds are tight and that is outrageous indeed! I see a place to enter a coupon code but I do not know any. Good luck to everyone on their purchase successes this Black Friday!! :D

The price is seriously insane. Just wondering why this is not as hot an item other than for the price. If it were for a red artifice AIP bottle goIng for 200 a piece, it would have sold out by now. Come to think of it if db really did do a 5000 run for his white lions, the same is for the other limited decks, why is the price for a white lion 15 bucks while a RA goes for 50 plus?

62 of these left according to the store check thing. Going quicker than I thought they would. I like the fact that you get a Red Lion out of the bottle.

But they said they have no plans on releasing these decks as singles... Although they said the same about the blues so who knows.

I know Blaine is a Magician and all but I DOUBT he would use the rest of the 4800 (or is it 4600) in his lifetime unless he opens a new deck every time he performs a different trick.

Yeah, as you said.
I'm thinking they will sell it but not before they could sell all the bottles.
And they are not revealing anything because some people might just buy the bottle to get the deck.
Some very very serious collectors.

Considering that no White Lions ( Red ) have been sold by themselves, I would say that at this point they are much harder to obtain and therefore rarer than the Red Artifice. This could all change though if they decide to release some White Lions ( Red ) individually or in bricks.

As of now a Red Lion is infinitely harder to get seeing as how there are only 200 in the hands of random people.

Even for private use, five thousand is a buttload of decks.

The price is seriously insane. Just wondering why this is not as hot an item other than for the price. If it were for a red artifice AIP bottle goIng for 200 a piece, it would have sold out by now. Come to think of it if db really did do a 5000 run for his white lions, the same is for the other limited decks, why is the price for a white lion 15 bucks while a RA goes for 50 plus?

Black Gold Seal New Fan Backs are under $10 a piece and they only made 5000.  An object is only worth what someone's willing to pay for it.  More people wanted to pay more $$ for Red Arts than White Lions.  Gold Arcane is just as rare and they often trade in the $100 range.  BG1E is also just as rare and they trade for twice or more what the GAs go for.

Short supply + high demand = big price after-market
Short supply + lukewarm demand by comparison = not so much

@Phantom: Yep
@Loldude: Two. I would have gotten more but I actually bought them both for myself. I figure the two decks will be enough for me and I will sell the bottles separately.

One of these decks is a RED "White Lion" deck and the second signed deck is from our "RAINBOW" collection.

Holiday Sale, at davidblaine.com?  When?

The wording of that "two deck" statement seems to imply that the Series A Red will eventually be for sale, while the "Rainbow" version will never be aside from this offer.

Something just occurred to me!  Someone said 5000 White Lions were made, and ad for the AIP said the "Rainbow" decks were a shade of purple made while the press was transitioning from blue to red.  These presses don't generally "transition" to anything, unless ol' Houdini Jr., Mr. Split Spades himself decided to take his 5000-deck print run, start with the blue ink, remove it partway through the run and swap in red ink!  Meaning that the WHOLE collection of ALL colors of the White Lions would be 5000, unless the overall print run was higher.

Those Rainbow decks were made intentionally.  USPC could have stopped the presses, cleaned out the ink wells and plates, then continued in the new color.  But Blaine didn't want that, it would seem.  Maybe not ANY customer could get them to stop (or switch colors mid-run), but this is Blaine we're talking about, not Alex from the block!  (No offense, big guy!)

Either that or it was someone's silly accident that when switching colors, they didn't clean the plates or the wells or something and a short run got both colors blended until the problem was solved.  USPC would probably have just destroyed those cards, but since the White Lions were supposedly supervised by him during the entire print run, maybe he spotted them and liked the shade, opting to keep the finished decks instead.

My guess is they used the same machine and plates for the red and the blue, and they kept printing an putting aside the purple decks and decided to package them.

It is like Dum-Dum Pops. Not many people k ow this, but the "Mystery" flavor is the lollipops that were made while the machine was transitioning between flavors, and they mark them as "Mystery" so they don't go to waste.

Oh cool, I didn't know I would be getting those. :P

Their cart system is broken it seems, so they're stuck at 49 left. You guys can be one of two lucky people to snag the bottle for almost 50% off their price, plus discounts, at the Holiday Sale. :)

Alex,

You purchase one of these??

Not to get off topic, but...

Seriously?
He bought a whole bunch of stuff with money that he OBVIOUSLY has, and your trying to criticize him for making prices cheaper for you? Why the heck would you have an issue with that. It's not like he's sellin the decks for twice as much.

Also.....

You are mad at him for trying to sell all of the decks he doesn't need, correct? If that is the case, then your hiprocracy amazes me.

I remember a few months ago you were selling a bunch if decks you didn't need. Remember that? Why is it okay for you to go ahead and sell the stuff you don't need, but when he does it you feel the need to reprint the whole country?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but don't make a fool of yourself and try to start a problem that isn't even relevant.

I would have purchased one of these but I really only want the decks. In other words I am scared they will release some kind of "1 red lions and signed purple combo" like he has for the blue right now. I could be wrong but I don't think we have seen the last of the "purple" decks no matter what the website says.

Black Friday prices. I'm glad I got them when I did because the prices shot up just a few hours afterwards.

Hey Alex, I ordered a bottle too on Black Friday.  Any idea when these are gonna be shipped out?  Also, how do you find out how many bottles are left on the website.  I was trying to figure it out but I couldn't.  Thanks.

I think they will be shipped within a week or two.


You can check the quantity by typing in 100 when you add to cart, and it will change your number to the maximum amount that is left. In this case, 40 bottles remain.

I have purchased an AIP bottle before and it was around $100.  Before they released this I truly was asking myself if I really wanna toss out $100 on this.  Not gonna lie, when I saw the price of $174 my jaw dropped!  I sat there looking at the computer screen for 10 min wondering what should I do.  I wasnt sure if people were flocking to buy this or not and I didnt wanna miss out on something possibly really neat.  So I broke down and bought one.  Im kind of excited I did though because now they raised the price but they included a couple other gifts as well.  Now im considering if I should buy another one.  (sigh) Where does all my money keep going.........lol

For almost $100 less than that you can get the Bottle on its own with the deck inside it at our Holiday Sale. :]

That is a great deal alex. But what I don't really get is the entire purpose behind the bottles. I know they are there to inspire, but why for a few hundred. That's just like paying someone for inspiration. If I'd were to get one, I'd get one if they were around $50- $75, I might make an exception to Alex's sale. MIGHT! ;)

It all depends on how much money you are willing to spend KPopFever.  But if you want just a bottle, Alex has a great deal going on it.  But if you purchase it from Blaine's website you get a lot more than just a bottle.  Didn't know if you knew that or not.

If you want just the bottle, combine it with the insane discounts in the sale and you can get it very cheap compared to anywhere else. The prices will only keep going up at this point.

As a collector? Display it. It's an amazing conversation starter.

Or you could break the bottle and use the deck. Or you could resell it in a year.

You could even pour milk in it.

Up to you. :P

If you could pour milk in it, is it going to seap through the cellophane?


EDIT: Oh, I thought you were selling the bottles only, not with the decks in it, now I know what you mean. Your little deal in my opinion is unbeatable. I might get it if I can rack up some from $$$ from sales.

Dude...  He's pulling your leg...  He bought the bottles to get the extra decks they came with.

They're down to only 32 remaining.  This has got to be the longest I've ever seen a custom AIP bottle on the market for.  The increasing price crap is beyond hubris, to me.  Did it suddenly cost them more to manufacture them?  Most AIPs are a hundred bucks.  Granted, this comes with two rare decks, but still, the decks didn't cost that much extra to make, either.  He might as well be selling them after-market at those prices.

They've gone from inhalant high to crystal meth snortin' high...

Those are awesome additions Alex! I would kill to add those two decks to my own collection, but the price tag just was too high for me. Who knows, maybe someday I'll magically get my hands on them, but for now I'm happy without them. I know that many people are going to be happy with the purchase of the bottle from your sale. The price you had was hard to beat (probably impossible actually).

Well I put up the pricetag as $130 back when the bottles were still $175 (and I had no idea extra decks came with them). Since then the bottles have gone up by $50, and I kept the price the same and will continue to keep it the same for a while.

I will probably look to trade or something later down the line, but right now it just won't work out sadly. I was lucky enough to snag some blue white lions from Alex's holiday sale, and those were a steal  8)

No, I'm seeing the same thing. Maybe they are working on an update for the shop or something? They wouldn't want any  purchases during that time. That would be my best guess...
