I've asked myself the same question you did and I've found this picture regarding the 1st. edition. I imagine that in these series it's the same.

I went for 2 decks (got already 2 Gold Crowns..else i would have gone for 5 decks)

The Gold Crown Deck        2    $35.90
Subtotal    $35.90
Shipping & Handling    $10.68
Gift Certificates:    $0.00
Grand Total    $46.58

Don´t be greedy and btw its 1hr 20mins after my window had openend at 8pm EST....so no rush in my group

Where are you shipping from, because $10 for shipping two decks is a little bit high.

That's why decks of cards can't be very successfull in Europe. Shipping normally represents the price of 1 or 2 decks. I've paid US$13 for my decks and I thought it was cheap!

""Magic and Playing Card News, Info, and Sneak Peaks
ELLUSIONIST NEWS: There will be a new Artifice deck within the next couple weeks!"

Does anybody knows anything about this?

I like this deck a lot. The case is beautiful and it gives a chance to those who hadn't the chance to buy the first version to own a very nice version of this deck.

But what I wanted to know is: do anybody knows how many decks were printed? I didn't found that reference anywhere.

I'm from Portugal and my experience teached me 2 things:
- know how to wait for my decks is a virtude; normaly, a package arrives in 13 to 15 days.
- about the import/export matter, I can only give my perspective fram my country who obbeys to the same european rules: you can import to UK. All the packages I've received from Ellusionist, Theory11, HOPC... had an invoice in the outside with the prices of the decks. The invoice is necessary to the douane can verify the value of the package: if it is above a pre-defined value, they will tax you, so the secret is to declare low prices.

   So, you should really contact USPS to see what is the procedure in these cases. If they return the package to the sender, talk to him to pay attention about the value declared on the invoice, trying not to exceed the UK value limit. Note that the shipping costs are included in that global value.

   Good luck with your package. That can really be a pain.

Thank you very much Lara!
I've already searched the forum and it's proving to be very useful in various matters.

This deck was a good surprise for me. I've ordered it from Singapore and the faces are beautiful. Simple but the detail of the pips in every cards is nice. The court cards are also good. The only thing that I think is less acomplished are the backs. Even so, it's a beautiful deck.

What an incredible deck! Congratulations for the originality! Hoping to get my hands in one of these decks.

Hi everybody.

My name is Rui, I'm from Portugal and I am an enthusiastic collector of decks of cards. In my country, decks of cards are not known for collection purposes, so I was very happy to find this page, where I can read about decks and where I can speak and people understand what I am saying, because we all just love those little boxes with more than 52 pieces of paper inside.

P.S. If there are more portuguese members, please write!
