Just wanted to give everyone an update. The displays are done and are being shipped to us and they should be in stock by the beginning of next week. I will post next week with exact pricing and a link.

I was told the displays are made with virgin acrylic material that will not yellow over time.
Thanks!

But they will probably be in the $12- $13 range.
Thanks!

Yes they are suppose to be available around April 1st.
Thanks!

Hey,

Do you have better pics of this deck??

and..
On UC there's a member saying that the white Bicycle Vision decks will be hitting the market next week... do you have any info on this??

CBJ

The picture I have of the Wounded Warrior decks was given to me a few months ago and is not any better. The Bicycle White Vision decks are done and should ship to us next week. I will post when we have them in stock. We will also be carrying the maiden back decks in red and blue when they become available.
Thanks!

I agree, there is a lot going on but I think it is great to have a sophisticated back once in a while.
Thanks!

While I do not have a kickstarter pledge, uncut sheets always seem to be a funny thing. People either love them or hate them. They tend to be a little harder to store and you have to be careful as not damage them. Just my opinion.
Thanks!

9 lbs!  Wow, I was thinking about buying another Pennzoni case, but they're so damn heavy.  You may have me convinced to purchase one of the black acrylic ones.  Is the black acrylic a coating on the acrylic or is the plastic actually tinted?  Is the black one opaque or slightly translucent (this matters to me because of how it will look on different colored walls)?

Consider my interest significantly peaked.

The black ones are opaque. I am not sure if the acrylic is a coating or tint, but I will find out. Just like collecting playing cards, this is a personal decision. Some people may want wood, leather or a different material, but we looked at over 20 different finishing materials and combinations of different finishing materials and found this one to really offer everything I was looking for in a display. I wanted:

1) Aesthetics
2) Quality and durability
3) Value

The black acrylic is black colored acrylic. It is not coated or tinted.
Thanks!

One more question.  Would it be possible to get the door in glass?  Or would that be something I would have to get aftermarket?  I'm not sure if you can answer this now, but if I can't get a glass door on it, then I'd be very interested in the specs on the acrylic used for the door, are you using optical grade cell cast acrylic?  Many types of acrylic tend to yellow over time, and it scratches very easily.  Most of them are a pain in the ass to keep looking shiny, because of the plastic, it's like a dust magnet, and in order to keep from scratching it, you need to use a special spray and like a microfiber cloth to clean it.

You would have to add the glass yourself. It would not be something we would be able to add at this point. I am not sure about the door but I already asked my supplier. I can tell you that I have had baseball jersey displays hanging on my wall for over 10 years that are just standard acrylic and have not had any yellowing. I really do not think scratching will be an issue since it will be hung on the wall. Again, after over 10 years, including a move from my old house to our new one, I have no scratches on any of my acrylic displays. I also have a few wood frame displays as well and find those are easier to scratch. I have a Willie Mays Jersey that I spent over $700 just for the frame and found that it requires more maintenance and is not as durable.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Pennzoni makes a similar display case that I have for about $100, it fits 55 decks (5 rows of 11).  It's wooden with a glass door.  I think if you could match that price, you could entice a lot more people to purchase yours.

You said it's acrylic.  How thick is the plexiglass?  How much does the unit weigh?  I know lexan tends to be more expensive, but it's stronger and easier to work with (and I happen love the look of tinted lexan), would it be cheaper in the long run to use that material instead?

Pennzoni is a horrible company and I could not recommend them at all. I originally approached them about doing this product in wood over two years ago. They jerked me around for over 4 months and never sent a second prototype. They never could get the shelves to withstand the weight of the decks. We looked at other wood displays, as well as other finishing materials, and found acrylic to work the best.

The unit weighs about 9 pounds

Very nifty but still not on the caliber I need my display to be, since with all my decks I would have to purchase several of these and that would be very pricey.

The black one is sexy as hell though. Mike, any chance you could fabricate a 240 deck display?

Not sure but probably not because it would become to big and require a lot of wall space to hang. I think it should be treated just like any collectible. You display the decks you want in one display, two or three displays, depending on your budget and your wall space. You do not have to run out and buy enough displays to hold all your decks at once. I have lots of sports memorabilia and not all of it is displayed due to lack of wall space.
Thanks!

this is quite expensive ,, how much does international shipping cost ..
if it is too high i guess i just buy from discarding although their can only hold up a few deck

While I have not seen their display, it sounds like it is not the same thing. From what has been said on this forum, that display will only hold two decks. So each display offers something different. One is for a large amount of cards and the other is for a couple of special decks.
Thanks!

They look great! If I were to buy one, it would be the clear one because I like how it looks.
My only problem is the price... its not an insane price but $100 would be an ideal price for me... but thats just me.

Also, do you have an estimated release date? Thanks

We will have stock in about 4 weeks.
Thanks!

What's the weight?

It would be a bitch to ship safely

CBJ

The displays weigh about 9 pounds each. I do not think it will be difficult to securely ship them, as the samples were sent UPS without and damage or issues.
Thanks!
