Welcome to UnitedCardists.

Given the current state, it will definitely not help...at all. Of course playing cards makes up virtually zero of the Chinese imports to the US.

Thanks for posting those photos laitostarr777. Those were stunning photos.

Thanks. Now I see I was looking at the box number and now see the prices on the far left column.

Some of the prices say "B1" to like "B6". Can you explain how that works?

From what Gio has said in the past, he still gets a substantial amount of his income from Kickstarter, so it is still an essential part of his card production business model. I was a little late, but picked up an early bird half-brick, which is fine for me. Overall, his EB are nice, but I don't thin...

I am sorry that Jack has had to take a huge financial and reputational hit. I will just say that whatever has happened, Alex has been a great help to the playing card community for years and that still counts for something to me. I am not saying I am happy, just going to point out that Alex has done...

Thanks Strag for your comments. Seems to me that it's a broken system. Money all gone in the garbage because of whatever printing stories and so it's always playing catchup. Continuously needing to create and sell more to pay for previous rewards. That is a polarizing issue. Lotrek patreon customers...

Don't forget the varnish issues, or the .... issues. It has to be frustrating at times. That said, it is always fun to get a package from you to see what you have next created. When anyone goes back to Venexiana Gold, they can see how much progress you have made with hot foil on playing cards. It is...

I was comparing the Craft version with the final version. I appreciate how much brighter that he made the inks. I know it is tough doing that with a dark color stock and all the other stuff going on. I really like the improvements. The one deck I received had no foil folding lines as noted previousl...

I am surprised it went for that low a price.

Interesting comments. I just received my Qalif decks. I was blown away by them. I love the deck. I LOVE the deck. The foiling is stunning and I love the colors and how it all goes together. The edges are a bit weird, but it doesn't bother me really. This is my favorite deck he has done. It just ramp...

I long since gave up trying my hand at Lorenzo's puzzles. I will enjoy finding out the solution and congratulate the winners and those that succeeded in solving it on their own.

Also, searching our threads on decks of interest can yield some interesting facts about the decks and their creation.

Welcome to UC and playing card collecting. So, what hooked you on collecting playing cards? Thanks for setting up a website for loading our decks. I kept thinking about building something myself, but I am just too lazy. When I saw one of Stockholm17's kickstarter campaigns, I was hooked.

I forgot to mention in my post that the packaging of my shipment was the best I had ever received. In addition to great wrapping, it was triple boxed with great care. I did let Lorenzo know that the packaging was exceptional. I am glad your package arrived brownsl. It is always a rare treat to get o...

Just open them all. Enjoy the harvest.

At least you don't live in Canada. Merry Christmas!

Sweet displays

I am just getting material to make some additions to my S17 brick house:

I almost forgot to post my rewards. Let's see, a Regent Tier with an extra brick, six The Claw decks, five Castaway decks and a few extras and three of the regular decks to open, so I an keep my three towers untouched.

I think it depends a bit. He typically waits until most of the packages have been received so he knows how many items he has as surplus. It shouldn't be too long. Another fun time ahead for sure.

My tracking says it should arrive on Monday. If so, expect a wide angle photo of what is inside my crate.

Interesting stuff, but I am tigered out at this point. Enjoy.

I like Gandalf and all, but maybe a well placed snipe might be in order for those 52 Plus Joker decks.... Mwahaaaha!

As I picked up the uncut tucks, I realized from this discussion that I would be two short. I checked with Gio and evidently, the two new tucks were produced by the card manufacturer rather than B&N. Unfortunately the card manufacturer does not print uncut tucks, so no uncut tucks for those. Ah w...

I will just sit back and drool a bit....wow.

Interesting. My choice was to pick up another Mystery III Craft deck. It is a stunning deck for me. To each their own. Glad both were on sale.

Most of you know, but Lotrek has a sale of several decks at his website. https://www.oathplayingcards.com/shop The decks on sale I believe are 20% off. Some decks are available on the Patrons sale site and some others on the main sale site. It is not a bad opportunity if you wee holding out for a fe...
