This is a nice deal. There's a few decks I've been wanting to try. Smith No. 3, Exquisite (Blue), Set of Owl Eyes & Erdnase 216's (Green & Tan). Comes out to about $5.40 a deck + shipping.
The Black Acorn Backs are still one of my all time favorites.

Ugh. My poor wallet.

I like the Black Acorns too. But of the thick stock (casino grade) decks we did at USPCC I think the Smith No 2 are my favorite. It's not known but the Cambric finish of the Smith No 2 was actually printed on two different stocks. We printed about 6,000 on regular casino paper and another 6,000 on an experimental paper. There is no indication whatsoever on the tuck but if you use a black light you can see the difference in the stock. One of them also weighs quite a bit more than the other. Just a trivial bit of info.
I did all that experimentation because I really wanted (needed) very firm cards and at USPCC the thicker casino stock gave the firmest deck.
Now that we are branching out and also printing at other factories we can get cards that are both very thin and very firm. This pleases me a lot.
The Zenith deck by Paul Carpenter is the most perfect alchemy we've managed so far and they are amazing handling cards!

Thanks for the Info.
I can't speak for everyone but I'm sure most of us are looking forward to Paul's newest creation (Zenith).

Great deal!
Always been a fan of the thick, sturdy cards sold by Conjuring Arts. I have a Smith No. 2 and a Green Acorn Back and I love them both!

I wlll have to quote you on that one Bill. ;)

Ugh. My poor wallet.
It _is_ a nice deal. So much for my long-standing rule to only buy single or pairs of decks.....
-
I'm going to have to pass, had you guys sold this when the Owl Eyes went up I might have gone for it, but for now i'll just wait for the other 2 colors to be released.
-
Same. I just ordered a few if those black owl eyes. Had this came out at the same time I probably would if ordered just to combine my postage costs to the UK. Tempted but might have to miss this deal.
-
On the fence about this, if it is still around once the other owl eyes are released then I will probably jump on it.
-
The way i'm seeing it, it's a bunch of decks they haven't been able to sell so they package them with the new Owl Eyes in hopes of getting rid of some them, but I think most of us already have enough of those decks. Perhaps if there was 2 of each Owl Eyes more of us might be tempted to buy it.

There's a simple solution for that, Victor. Buy two!

Yeah that's true
