I really love the mini Tally-Hos, might have to pick some of them up. Now to find out if they also make them in jumbo so I can have all the sizes :P
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

I've never seen Tally Ho in Jumbo size - in fact, not even in Jumbo Index.  Others, yes - I recently picked up some Bees and Hoyles in Jumbo Index, and I think there's Aviators in Jumbo Index as well.  But Bikes were the only jumbo size "regular" deck USPC made, and they're out of print and very costly - imagine the work needed to make such huge cards on standard paper, how much extra paper it would consume, all the printer and cutter settings that would need to be changed...  It would require CUSTOM cutting dies in a very big and unwieldly size.  But a Jumbo size deck on Bike paper with an air-cushion finish would totally rock for magicians.

Just be careful when wandering around Merz67's website - there's a LOT of chaff mixed in with that wheat!   ;D

Just going through Merz's Ebay and store...

The prices are different on both!  Make sure you check both if you're going to purchase from him.

Also, did anyone else notice that the Trace decks have dropped from $50 per deck to $60 for all 4??

And the Red, White, and Blues dropped too

Where else could they go but down?  ;)


The eBay shop didn't have the mini Tallys, so I have to check his website.

Yeah I agree with Sabacc. He probably just wants to get rid of them now. CBJ do you have the trace decks?

No, I haven't purchased them.

I've stopped buying decks temporarily, while I decide which way I want to move forward with my collection. I'm considering focusing on vintage decks... I'm looking into a few leads.

If that doesn't pan out, then I'll be back to collecting the newer decks.

Vintage is very cool, but it can get expensive fast.  You'll want to document and insure your collection, and the vintage cards often need special "care and feeding"...  If you go that way, we won't forgive you if you don't post photos!
