Re: [EBAY] Slavich's eBay Listings

I've been seeing these auctions and wondering just who was liquidating such a collection! So had to come look. Nice to see the Gold ended in line with my pricing guide's value. The Dark Signature pair could exceed it, there is going to be quite a happy collector out there and I wonder what other gem...

Re: Are there any playing card creators you will just never support?

That's easy, KWP, I've already purged my collection of old decks I had gotten from his KS projects before his extreme religious cultism and predictably associated lack of mental stability became clear. I refuse to give someone like that my support or money, some things go too far to separate the art...

Re: 666 Playing Cards by Riffle Shuffle

Copper>Silver>Gold>Holo. It's why I'm completely happy only having the Bronze & Silver Dark Reserves, I would have the Gold too just for the sake of the trio but aftermarket prices. I made a joke not long ago about 'when's the next 666 recolour?', well here it is, and it's barely even new, they ...

As someone almost completely without doubles I also don't like having to buy something I already have to get something I don't and then having the hassle of reselling, but sometimes it's just unavoidable or makes more sense than waiting and I've had to do it maybe a dozen times over the years.

Re: [BUY] Looking for my first Lotrek/Oath whale

What a turn this has taken, that Damask is 30% above the last established price too with the gall to charge shipping on top, true definition of low-life scalping, and pretending to be a legit collector in order to gain more decks to scalp is straight up sociopathic scamming.

Re: Caesar Playing Cards by Riffle Shuffle [KS June 22]

My biggest turn-off is usually the bright basic colours which don't match the artwork, which is especially egregious in this campaign. Thankfully the only decent colourway (usually the or one of the special versions) can be had cheaply from aftermarket without bothering with any of the rest of it. T...

No, completely 100% disagree. Most people don't even know the signature editions exist, and they're so rare they're unobtainable, they are not realistically part of the Venexiana set. Maybe having written one of the first Lotrek fill guides, a pricing guide, as well as being a supporter/fan since hi...

Re: [BUY] Oath Standard gold on Gold and Black on Gold

The GoG on eBay for 700 states that it includes a Blue Silk as well, which would actually make it in line with established values for both individually in previous sale history. There is no photo of the silk however so perhaps confirming with the seller and asking for photos would be best.

Re: SoCal Playing Cards has a Blue Damask up for auction

I was blindsided by seeing these prices, glad I got mine from Lotrek. To be fair it was 2018 Lotrek (values didn't start heating up until late '19 early '20) and we had with no warning suddenly 24 hours or less to decide to send $115 to Lotrek. I know, no brainer right? Well not so much at the time!...
