Porting this over from the UC...
I was poking around Mr. Philip Cheaney's website (the designer of The Amazing Deck), and found photos of another deck he designed for the University of Chicago Alumni. Very cool looking cards using the University's stained glass windows and many gargoyles as inspiration.
Mr. Cheaney is not able to help acquire any. But over the last few months, I've been researching and negotiating with one of the University Bookstores that has contacts in the Alumni (where the cards are given away for a donation of $50).
Kevin Bendle is my contact. Email him at sm492@bncollege.com to purchase this deck of cards. They're $9.98 USD each.
Not sure if it's ok to link to the UC discussion on these. There's some useful info there, plus pictures.
Sorry, if it isn't:http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2399 (http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2399)

I'm not a Mod here but I think pertinent info is pertinent info regardless of where it comes from. I posted my U of C deck in the new acquisitions thread and it sparked a brief conversation there. I think I posted the same court pics you did here. Probably deserves it's own thread. Especially considering all the leg work you did to bring them to the masses at a reasonable price. Great work Sharpie!
-
I adore the courts. The back; not so much.

Sharpie, we don't discriminate against any sources when it comes to finding good information. I myself have come forth at times and stated outright when I discovered something on UC - it's only fair to give credit where it's due and I'd expect nothing less of anyone quoting information that came from here. Thanks for finding all of this out for us; this deck generated a lot of interest when it was first posted over here from someone's collection (I forget whose).

...this deck generated a lot of interest when it was first posted over here from someone's collection (I forget whose).
Um... check 2 posts up from yours. ::) :)

I think he was just poking fun :) you'll slowly get use to Don's sense of humour :p and if he isn't kidding, then Don seriously needs some sleep :p ..anyway, those courts do look really nice. Reminds me of Infinty jokers for some reason

Oohh, I see. Where's the 'smack palm to forehead' smilie?
And Alex, while we're on the subject. How is this ( :-[ ) an embarrassed smilie?
Guy looks like he's having a tantrum. :o
No offense to all your hard work. ;)

Yeah, Alex custom tweaked the smilies around here. Try entering "t11" surrounded by ":" symbols

:t11: :p

I emailed my cell phone number to Kevin a few days ago so he could call me and get my credit information so I order a couple of decks. Haven't heard from him.
-
Called the bookstore last Friday and ordered 3 decks. They were delivered to me yesterday. Thanks for the sweet deal, Sharpie.
-
I have tried many time to call or email never any answer I gave up
Edit: Just tried again and was able to buy a couple decks
Thanks Sharpie for the info
