Seasons Manor of Wonder - Rare Mystery Deck Sale

[Gonzalo]

I don't really know whether I've been lucky or not with this mystery sale.

Certainly, I just bought two decks, an Über Rare and a Cherry on Top, and I've got this:

(edit: stupid picture doesn't show )

The Insight deck is green-gilded, and the blank tuck contains a golden-gilded deck, and I'm afraid I don't know which deck it is. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Plus, I had to pay 28,50€ in Customs charges. Dang it. Not Alex' fault, obviously.
Customs charges are so random that I've received today KWP December Shorts Deck also and they didn't charge me anything.

What I got is

1. A green/black tucked, green-gilded, 47/60, signed, Insights deck and,
2. A blank tucked, golden-gilded deck. Black cards, Joker is some sort of lamp(?); one is on, the other is off.

A nice little package came in from the USA today:

Ordered 12x Uber Rare decks from the Seasons sale then went back a couple of days later to pick up 2 additional cabinets and 5x Cherry on Tops.

Very pleased with what I got.

I'm presuming the Virtues deck is a promo version.
Can anyone tell me what the Gold Gilded display deck is to the right of the 2018 NPCCD deck ? - I don't recognise the back design.

That is a 2017 NPCCD deck, you lucky dog. I haven't opened any of mine. The center design gave it away for me.



Thanks for the photo. That is indeed a worthy haul for this award!

[JacksandJokers]

Yes. I have a mail forwarding service in the US so I often have items shipped there instead of directly to the UK.

Thanks Brad.
Didn't recognise it straight off and been too busy to look it up

Thank you for the info! That's mine as well!

Has anyone actually opened their coloured Elixir variants?

I was just wondering which cards are inside, Gold Gilded, Midnight or something completely different?

They're not gilded - I don't know which is which so here is my Red Elixir

[JacksandJokers]

Thanks hsbc,

That looks like the midnight elixir to me - The Gold elixir had a gold border and centre on the back as opposed to the blue.

I'm presuming all the colour variants will be the same cards.

If anyone knows different please let me know

I finally received my half-brick Uber Rare order. It got stuck in customs for ages...

Well, what can I say... I'm very disappointed! Don't get me wrong, I knew where I was getting myself into when purchased these decks, but still the feeling stands!

The decks I really wanted were the Sugar and Plum, as those were the only ones that justified the $45 price tag (IMO). And since those were among the less rare decks I had really high hopes to get them, but that didn't happen. I ended up with 4 Elixir and a set of Apothecary Prototypes. The Apothecary Prototypes kinda justify the price (and the box does really looks fantastic), but the Elixirs are just a $45 tuck swap (cards inside are the midnight elixir from the KS campaign, at least for what I can understand), and I'm not used to pay this much (if any at all) for tuck swaps. But again, I knew the risks when I purchased these decks, but still very disappointed.

Nonetheless glad to help Alex in is passion.

The nice thing is that you can post in the UC market for a trade of some of these decks for the decks you want. As these are rarer than the special 2019 NPCCD decks, I daresay you will get someone to make that trade.

I have now picked up my Manor of Wonder haul (as it was sitting with the shipping consolidator for a while). Also somewhat bummed as I did not get the Sugar Plum duo.

What I got was the following:

1. Apothecary Primavera Ponderings Prototype
2. Apothecary Inverno Insights Prototype
3. Soothing Seronda Sentiments Private Batch Reserve (colour changing)
4. NPCCD 2018 Escher Queen (x2)
5. NPCCD 2016 Green
6. Private Reserve Shadow Elixir (x2)
7. White Elixir Prototype
8. Magna Carta King John Edition set
9. Primavera (x3)
10. Inverno
11. Seronda
12. Inverno Limited Edition
13. Verana Limited Edition

The Shadow Elixir and the Apothecary prototypes are welcome editions to the collections but the rest I already have and will now be offering for a trade. Could have done better but shan't complain - a mystery sale is just that, a mystery.

Here's what I got (crazy enough for me):



① 2019 NPCCD Sugar Plum Set: Snow and Plum Editions

③ Elixir Prototype Signed: Black on Metal Gray
④ Cabinet of Curiosity with Magna Carta King John Edition Set: Unnumbered Gold gilded and Silver gilded
⑤ Signed set of the color-changing Apothecary tuck
⑥ Seronda Fall Deck
