What's the Oblivion box? I just got these from someone secondhand and I must say the tucks are wonderfully shiny.

The Oblivion Box is just what Gio called the tier that was 12 decks from the series, plus the coin, pin and booklet. Everything but the uncuts for a package price of 319 Euro shipped. No brick box included though.

My Dominus V2 Kickstarter rewards came in. I am not a huge collector of coins from playing card campaigns, but I really wanted these and they do look great.

I am starting to move some of my decks out of my office. I just boxed up most (not all) of my Kings' Wild Project subscription decks. It filled up two filing boxes weighing 80 lbs.

Another package came in yesterday. This was from Thirdway via Gambler's Warehouse. This is the Heartless Rewards and Heartless Gehenna purchases, plus the 2022 Patron Q4 rewards...and the extra Black Market Nexus purchases. Gio has been taking big chuncks of my bank account lately.

Just curious, did it ever cross your mind during your packing that you've got way too many decks, and you may possibly need to cutdown on the bricks? :D

I'm looking at my limited office space and already wondering that for myself!

Well, this is a deck that I shipped to someone that finally returned to my collection. Someone wanted a deck and I sent it off. It vanished in transit, so I sent me another one I had, which arrived fine. I sent this deck back in mid August and it just showed up in my mailbox yesterday.

Not to let your irony meter spin, this was the Postage Paid deck from Kings Wild.... :lol:

I am not sure. I left it in the envelope. Surprisingly, I think it came through okay.

I just received my Ethereal Dreams Tarot and poker decks today. This is typically not my type of deck, but I really liked the artwork. They were definitely from a non-standard printer, but okay I guess.

Some updates. I received a couple of Thirdway packages. I received another Eva White Rose and a Devotion deck. I received another package with another Devotion Deck and five Devotion Red Decks. I also received my three Oath Redemption 1 decks.

Upon request...

In order to cut the glare, you can't see the sheen on the foiled sections, which is really too much in person. It definitely is not showing up in the above photo. The card guard also does not look near as impressive above as it is in person. It is the same awesomeness as his previous card guards he has done recently. The photo definitely is much more muted and flat than in person.

I am just not that impressed with the foil and stock. It just underwhelms me and is like what I have mainly seen from them. The overall production look reminds me a lot of KWP's Mistborn decks, which I was also disappointed with from a production standpoint.

That said, Gio's Devotion Red deck looks great, so I know Legends can produce some nice foiled decks. I am not sure what the difference is, but from a production quality, I like Devotion Red from Legends much better. That said, Jody is still an exceptional artist and love his work. I just wish the production was as good as his artistic skill. IMHO.

Thank you for that interesting interpretation. In reply I will post a photo of just my Lotrek decks I was able to find in my office. I have lots of others at home, so these are my more recent decks. Still, it should be entertaining. I have been meaning to pull these out for a long time anyway, but what a mess I have made.

I included DeNovo in my interpretation of his works as well. This is one impressive photo with both variety and quantity! I was scanning it looking for what I'm missing and that Arabesque brick box looks so good 😍🤤. Looking forward to having one of those in my collection at some point.

I actually am supposed to have a Red Arabesque brick box somewhere. I haven't seen it in a long time though. I hope it wasn't accidently thrown out at some point.

As we are looking forward to the Dram set, I realized I hadn't reposted my Brewmaster and other Jocu decks. I need to remedy it.

However, hsbc has posted some much better photos of his Brewmaster set and deck...which he...opened :shock:
