Outrageously priced for a deck in my opinion. I understand why it's selling at the price it is on ebay, but I just can't justify spending that much on this deck.

So, we can get it for $30 cheaper than on ebay?  :P
I would buy a couple if they weren't $20!

With the shipping, and factoring in that they tossed me an extra deck, it was about $24.50 per deck.  Assuming the extra as a freebie and counting for only the six decks I ordered, the price per jumps to $28.60.

Hell, I should put mine on eBay...  ;)  I'll probably offer JUST A FEW decks here, soon.  I already gave one away to the Deck Aid project to help Carlo restore his fine collection after the natural disaster that hit...

I'll post photos here soon.

BTW: hit the Juice Store for gits and shiggles - they only have TWO left.  That number probably changes, but for now, it's what they're listing.  It could be they've started limiting orders to only two per.

You did indeed get the last two - I just checked and they're listed as sold out.

Someone check in there in about a day or so and see if they come back in stock...

Photos, anyone?  I have to split them into two posts.

Photos, batch 2:

As you can see, the black face cards are just that - pure black, not other details - and the reds are red and black, with a little additional detail that the blacks don't have.  Even the weapons are missing, since they used colors other than red and black.  The faces look cool, but they're terribly simple - take all colors not red or black and remove/change to white, done.  At least the backs show a higher level of work.  Those funny "C" spots are a big C with geometric shapes inside to represent L, O and T, giving us the brand name of the clothing/toy store.

Not a fan of the backs but the court cards look awesome!! If these weren't priced so high I would have picked up some.


Thanks for the pictures!

This was yet another case of "wow, the back pictured on the box looks a lot nicer than the ones on the cards!"  That had some contrast and was visually interesting, while the cards are "wow, a big field of red, a sprinkling of black".

As I said, I'm going to offer a few at a little more than I paid and a lot less than the current eBay sales mentioned previously.
