Holy crap that's one of the coolest boxes I've ever seen for a deck of cards! Don't know if it's even right to call it a "tuck case"! When do we get to see the deck itself?!

It's called a slip case, if I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing.

Post by: BiggerDee on July 29, 2014, 04:18:02 PM
it kind of reminds me of the slip case on my old deck of Prestige playing cards (Plastic cards), and that's a good thing. It's sharp and very functional. I like them.
Title: Re: Jason Brumbalow's "Run" Coming soon
Post by: JasonBrumbalow on August 12, 2014, 08:57:25 AM
Hey guys, yes there will be a tuck inside the outer case you see here. Run is going to be the first deck that is sold with it's own protective card case.

Post by: 52plusjoker on August 12, 2014, 09:23:37 AM
Well first since the late 1800's when some decks were produced with a colorful wrapper and placed in a tuck box which was inserted in a slip-case!

j/k, but all this is really excited. I picked up a few decks of Banshees and am excited to grab some Run when it comes out. Any chance of a release date?

Shooting for an October release. We've selected some beautiful imported papers from USPC for the inner tucks that are hard to get, therefore causing a delay. Yet, we should still be on target for early to mid Oct.

LOL, Thanks for the kind words Nurul, and your right........1st thing I learned was what a pip was (Sept 2013), lol. But it's still fun and I appreciate all the help i've gotten along the way from members like yourself and a slew of others. My goal was to learn as much as I could and to find a way to contribute to the community in a positive manner, Kardify and Ivan gave me that opportunity. I was actually haveing this same conversation with Ivan a couple of days ago.....how did I get here, it's just crazy.

I think with that badass case in hand, I'd be all :bosswalk: haha. Pop the cool case open and be all ;D at the tuck. So pleasure would be my answer haha. I love the idea. I've already set a side some funds for RUN. Can't wait, I'm really looking forward to this. :)

Heyo, everything is all 100% USPC DNA. That's why these have taken so long to come together. USPC hasn't raversed these waters before. French vellum speckle board paper + ink + foil + embossing + hard case + hand folded + hand loaded = challenge.

Thanks for all the good words!

Yeah, Jason - the project's looking pretty kick-ass so far.

I don't suppose you could give us a peek at a few card faces?  Or at the least tell us more about them?

If I had to guess, I'd say the deck faces will be fairly standard - it appears to be aimed at the gambler/card sharp market, in which case standard faces would be the more desired of the options.  Don't get me wrong, custom is nice, but it's not one-size-fits-all.
Title: Re: Jason Brumbalow's "Run" Coming soon

As requested. A peek at some face card art.
Title: Re: Jason Brumbalow's "Run" Coming soon
Post by: JasonBrumbalow on October 01, 2014, 11:13:29 AM
Couple of guys asking specifics about the numbers in circulation:

Run (standard) - 20K decks - Limited - $9.95

Run: Heat Edition: 10K - Limited - $14.95

Run: Bankroll Edition - 5K - Limited - Not for sale - available through contests, give-aways and will be available to dealers who order in bulk.


The first series of Run with have the hard card case with the deck - The 2nd Edition of the Run series (in process) will not have the hard outter case. Hope this helps! We are getting inquiries and wholesale reservations on Run on a daily basis. I don't expect this first series to last long.

I have had many long and heated debates about the pricing as the outter boxes are crazy expensive to produce. However, this is a deck that I want people to use. I don't want them to be too expensive that folks just collect them and they just gain dust. So we placed them at $9.95 with the outter case for this first series.
Title: Re: Jason Brumbalow's "Run" Coming soon
Post by: Msp062 on October 16, 2014, 11:22:52 PM
I like the card box idea, I hope more decks will use it in the future.

JP Playing Cards = http://jpplayingcards.co.uk
Gamblers Warehouse = http://www.gamblerswarehouse.com
RunIt Decks = http://www.runitdecks.com

So far only GW have them up (and so far only one of the two decks), but the others should be right behind. Will be more sites soon, but these were the first ones.

Title: Re: Jason Brumbalow's "Run" Coming soon
Post by: Don Boyer on November 06, 2014, 11:55:12 AM
Jason, near the end of the video you talk about how future printings of these decks won't have the slip cases.  So is it correct to say that there ARE going to be reprinted?  Will that printing be identical except for the box, or will there be changes (color changes, different design, etc.)?

The cards are pretty attractive from what I can see so far.
Title: Re: Jason Brumbalow's "Run" Coming soon
Post by: JasonBrumbalow on November 06, 2014, 12:31:31 PM
It will most likely be a V2, without the slipcase, but still have the DNA of the RUN design aesthetic.

It's the black/red not for sale deck. Looks very sharp and will be rarer than the others. I have no idea why CPC put it up for a honeybee though.

Jason posted a pic of it on the top of page 2 of this thread.

Yeah, I thought the picture looked familiar. Do we know why it was printed if its not for sale? Will they be prizes for contests or something? Also, how did Collectible Playing Cards get some to sell if they can't be purchased?

They were printed to be used for giveaways, contests, and as sales incentives for retailers. Very few will be handed out in total each year. CPC will probably receive one or two with their order and they decided to put it up for pre-order along with the other two editions.

Title: RUN PLAYING CARDS - Coming Soon!
Post by: AJTPlayingCards on November 21, 2014, 06:41:05 AM
The new RUN DECK will be arriving with me shortly and they look a beautiful and practical deck. They have been designed by Jason Brumbalow (formerly Ellusionist) and he looks to have done a great job with his first deck designed exclusively created by Murphys.

Some of the official text is here:

It's a sin to let a sucker keep his money. So, leave honour in your rear view mirror, because only two things matter in this world... this score, and surviving it. Run Playing Cards embraces nerves of steel and a clean getaway into a superior deck of cards, with a rebellious attitude.

Created & designed by acclaimed playing cards producer, Jason Brumbalow, the value and quality of the Run Playing Cards is unparalleled in its class. With a true survivor's attitude, this deck reveals its authentic, underground gambling roots in every inch of detail.

Raw, unruly attitude meets new-school design. Defiantly decked in gold foil from front to back, a bold design that drives home the pure essence of the hit and run survivor. The first deck in its class to come equipped with a hardened, protective, custom card case that's styled to perfection to achieve a raw, custom look.
Born from the quality and proven reliability that you can expect from the US Playing card company, Run has a slipstream glide which provides an unmatched, responsive feel and is just plain durable as hell.

Let your chips fall where they may, but know where the exits are, because after the score, there's only one thing to do.....

Cards Created & Designed by Jason Brumbalow
Illustrated by Chris Yoon

I have attached some images, these are due in the next week and will sell at £7.95 per deck http://ajtplayingcards.co.uk/shop/4587169221/run-playing-cards-standard-deck-of-cards-by-jason-brumbalow-magic/9080249

Same here, I'm eagerly awaiting mine. Maybe friday! I'll be at a poker tournament when they arrive, if it is friday, but it would be very cool to have them here when I get home from it. I'm more excited about the RUN decks than I am about black friday overall. haha, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I like the hype, but your bark is better than your bite.

Custom pips: check

Custom courts: check

Is that a sword coming down form the indices? 

Everything seems fine, but yet something seems missing. 

I do like the way the sword is coming out of the court box.  And the tuck box is something else.  Maybe better than a card clip....

My friend - I considered not getting any of the decks.  I've scaled back my spending on cards overall.  Then I opened my mailbox and found a package from Jason...a pack of standard and a pack of Heat.

Dude, I don't know what I was thinking, considering passing on these.  The level of detail in the packaging - phenomenal.  The faces - simple andgorgeous.  The handling - well, we all know what a Magic Finish deck feels like.  I really like the stock - it reminds me a bit of Tally Ho stock.  Not as soft as Bicycle, not as stiff as Bee - good blend.  Been putting them through their paces the past few days - I think I want to get a few more!

I get the feeling that if you pass on these, you'll be kicking yourself all the way to 2015!

Mine have arrived! =)

Tuck is amazing - foil is beautiful, as is the more subtle design in the background... I'm still not sold on the side opening tuck - the flap feels more "flimsy" just because the card isn't thicker but the surface area is wider, so the flap is less rigid... I prefer traditional vertical opening tucks still... Other than that though, tuck is amazing.

Deck is nice, but not as nice as the tuck, in my opinion...=P Maybe it's just me, but the white borders look a bit thick... Handling is great, and for some reason, even though I usually suck at fans, I could fan this deck right out of the box! Weird, but cool...=P

Lastly, the slip case. Really cool idea, and decent execution, but I have to admit I'm a little disappointed compared to the (admittedly unrealistic) image I had in my mind of what it'd be like... I'd say the execution is 7/10 and the materials maybe 8/10... The reason I say my expectations were unrealistic is because these had to be mass produced in the tens of thousands, so obviously there's a limit to the level of detail in terms of execution.

Overall I'm happy with the deck and I'm glad I bought it, but not blown away...

PS: I only opened the regular edition... I assume the Bankroll and Heat editions are identical but for color. It'd have been cool if the rarer two versions had additional "perks" as they step up in price and rarity, but again, probably not a realistic expectation...
