Hey everyone. I'm searching for between 2 and 5 black stinger decks sealed. My minimum offer is $17 per deck and I'm located in Australia in the beautiful sunny state of Queensland (not the cold and miserable states known as Canberra or Victoria).
Hit me up if you're interested, Maybe we can trade. ;)

I recommend you be a little more specific. There are Black Stingers that were made in Cincinnati, OH - the initial print run sold on the T11 website - and there at least one additional printing that was made in Erlanger, KY. The difference is plain to see on the side of the tuck box with the USPC location info on it. When people learned of the reprints, they dropped in price a bit. Ohio-made Black Stingers are tough to find.
T11 has done the same thing with at least one other deck, Propaganda. Their customer service department confirms that they did indeed create - and continue to create as needed - additional printings of at least those two decks, if not more. What makes it bizarre is that they don't carry these print runs on their website. To some extent, they realized their customers aren't idiots and have started selling their additional runs on their site, as they did last year when an improved-handling print run of Sentinels were released. It's one of the rare cases I've seen where the reprint is more desirable than the original.
Also bear in mind that in a few rare instances, I've seen sellers refer to this deck as "White Stingers" as well. When T11 released it, there was just the one color and they were simply called "Stingers". Even the red deck is technically just named "Stingers", but the "Red" moniker stuck because it was the second of two colors and people needed to be able to make distinctions between the two in a short-hand way.

I do remember something about more than the ohio print.. thanks for clearing that up with me. I guess I'd just be after the KY ones unless the Ohios have been known to handle better. I do wish to use these rather than collect them.

Can't say which is better since I don't have the OH deck, but the KY deck handles fine.
