Title: Ron Saylor deck - another "Gemaco wonder deck"...
Post by: Don Boyer on December 11, 2011, 06:30:09 AM

Ron Saylor deck - anybody heard of this guy before?

Looks a lot like the Pentad deck in that its most unique feature is the deck back, period.  They even share the same silver peek-a-boo box!  But where the Pentad had interesting back art, this one's little more than an advertisement for the magician in question.

This is a big pass for me.

FYI: for those of you only collecting USPC products, Gemaco is now a subsidiary of USPC as of a couple of years ago.  I think they're still operating out of their own facilities, though, much like Fournier does.

I saw this deck somewhere else as well. Huge pass. It is just ugly as hell.

Yah, to me it defineately looks like a form of advertisement, it even has his website on the box! Major pass just because it's not Bicycle and the fact of the obvious back design, but I'd love the deck is it came with like a signed card, keep the card and sell/giveaway the deck.
