Re: Ultimate Bicycle Rainbow back by MagicMakers

Eric, I have one of these. Here are pics with the back designs laid out. I'm not 100% positive on all. I traded messages with Marty Grams on the Magic Cafe around the time the deck came out. He had some of these decks that he sold direct, however in unsealed standard blue rider back tucks. I later p...

Re: Smoke & Mirrors: Casino Edition by Dan & Dave Buck

Maybe there were returns, or this is some slow trickle campaign... but there's 8 Blue and 1 Red available for anyone who desires these.

Re: Smoke & Mirrors: Casino Edition by Dan & Dave Buck

Strag, I feel similar. When D&D finally re-issued the black and white S&M decks recently, I impulse bought a couple for the nostalgia, figuring they'd fly off the shelves. But they sit there on the site, widely available. They're distributed through Murphys even. The market is so very differ...

Re: Ellusionist Mystery Deck (Series 1900, etc.)

Earlier in this thread the question was "What happened to Keepers, why have Cohorts replaced them?" . Fast forward now to 2024, all the Cohorts are out of stock, and this new Shipwreck deck is in stock. I messaged E to inquire about Cohorts. They responded (quickly!) that they WILL be repr...

Re: Marked Bicycle Rider Backs (on Kickstarter on April 2)

Pavel,
Your posts are always most informational. Reading the campaign's page was very enlightening with differences between the different batches so far.

What seal (if any) will these KS decks have?

Thanks,

I second that, those courts are wonderful. The Starling article is a great read. In the article he references that it was a 12 color printed deck.

These hit Murphy's and you can get the 4 standard decks or $63 total from Penguin + Free Ship.

My holo deck is sold, but the remaining 4 decks I'm lowering to $50 with free US shipping. (or $5 off international shipping)
