Title: [SALE/TRADE] Signed Now You See Me Monarch Deck
Post by: Patrick Varnavas on September 05, 2013, 02:02:41 PM
Hello all, I'm Patrick Varnavas. Today I am offering up a Monarch deck that was signed by the cast of the film "Now You See Me". Only five of these Monarch decks are known to exist and this happens to be the first deck of the five to ever be released. I'm looking for at least $150 for the deck or a trade. For the trade, I'm looking for Absolut decks. I'm shipping from New Jersey, USA. I ship everywhere, for free. You can contact me at pacman78787@gmail.com

Here are some pictures of the deck.

Awesome deck.  Can you list which actors signed it?  Are any other surfaces of the deck signed?

Do you have a certificate that proves the authenticity of the signatures? Not trying to say you would fake it but I know it happens.

Well, I can prove that I definitely own the first Signed Monarch deck distributed by Theory 11 because I won it in a Saturday Night Contest. Here's the link to the original page, http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?39155-Saturday-Night-Contest-The-Art-of-Card-Throwing

and you can see that I won that contest if you go to page four, on the bottom. The rest of the signed decks went up around a month and a half after the contest. That's about as much proof as I've got, aside from the video that I used to win the contest.


As for your question Don, there are five signatures. The names that I can read are Morgan Freeman, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mark Ruffalo and Jesse Eisenberg. The deck box is signed on both the front and back, and on both sides.

I hope that answered your questions! :)

Yea, I personally wont be able to. Its not that I dont trust you. It just I know that later in life if I try to sell it, people prefer the certificate stating the signatures are verified.

Ahh that's a bummer. I wish I could give you something more official, but the deck is all Theory 11 had to offer.

I'm sure his deck is real.
You can compare his deck to (http://www.unitedcardists.com/download/file.php?id=1456)

It's the deck at the top.
There is no way you can force signatures to be exactly the same as in the photo T11 took.

I messaged him on United Cardsists, and he said he's "reviewing his options". I'll see what his opinion is.

Well, currently, there is only one other person that I'm in negotiations with besides you. So it's more of a "Reviewing my other option" situation.
