Got a few items in over the last few days, first off my gold Mardi Gras deck, which as a side note for those that like to keep their decks sealed, be careful undoing the bubble wrap. The bubble wrap is sticky and as such when I was unwrapping it from the deck it caught on the cellophane rip-tag and opened it. Guess I'll be checking out the deck now.

Next up my Gold Metaluxe Bicycle decks and Club 808 shirt. Haven't opened one of the decks yet as I assume they're just like the prototypes. Will do so sometime soon I'm sure and will post more pics. The 808 shirt is printed by Jacks and Jokers. They have been partners with USPCC for some time and had a cool line of card related shirts but they were always out of stock of my soze whenever I checked. My friend's shirt from them was good quality though and this one appears to be as well. Only thing I, not fond of is the male tramp stamp on the back "club 808 original member". I say male gramp stamp as women get theirs tattooed at the lower back, men between shoulder blades.

Lastly, a cool piece of ephemera, a matchbook with the Riderback design on it and seven of diamonds on the inside. Don't know if it's the 7oD because it's by the Diamond Match Co or if they had 52 different matchbooks. I think that would be pretty sweet, collect all the different matchbooks like they used to do with cigar bands and what not.

ETA I got my Metaluxe uncuts in today too. One gold and one blue. They are hand numbered, #15/100 for Cobalt and #23/60 for Gold. They are VERY shiny. I like 'em.

Where did you get these I have been looking all over the net, found a site that sells them, but doesn't seem legit. If you can help me out that be awesome

Took me ages and the place I got it from no longer has it in stock. After I received it I went back to buy more but I guess I either got the last one or they decided to put the others on eBay. I know what you mean though, there's another site I have seen them on that shows them in stock but dk if it's legit or not. I've sent them an email to see if it's in stock but haven't heard back and I doubt I ever will.

I've even checked UK and AUS zippo & cigar websites but all to no avail.

Yep same here. Remember seeing it at my local cigar shop when I was picking up some stocks for a camping trip. Figured they'd still have it later. Boy was I wrong, seems like they all just disappeared overnight. I want a second one so I can actually open the deck and use the lighter.

Hmmmm.... You never know. The crazy person who packed the box might have had a nervous breakdown and added 11 more soup cans to make it a full "brick"...

Huge thanks to Shermjack! These acrylic cases are amazing! Unfortunately he did not throw in the decks..

I only need about 300 more or so.. Thanks again..

chach · Unread post by **chach** » Sat Aug 22, 2015 3:58 pm

Those cases do look very nice, have been debating buying some from him. If they had some way of interlocking / stacking that'd be sweet.

I'm guessing 74 decks,
