This set only had two. The Polaris has 3.

I was greeted with this truly amazing piece in the mail today: Numbered 501/500; this has become the favorite deck in my collection.

hmmmmm.... 501 of 500 .. WTF

Encarded had a contest where he gave away 3 rare decks (this one included). He said this is literally the LAST numbered one and there aren't any 502, 503, etc.

So, there are 501 numbered decks, and who-knows-how-many non-numbered decks?

some vintage

Let us know if you win the money.

I just found out a deck I own is supposedly very rare, with only 250 or 275 made. It's called the Cheetah deck:



I bought it here a little over a year ago for $10: http://www.cheetahplayingcards.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Now this site is selling it for $75! : http://www.gamblingincorporated.com/pro ... ctid=16288" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The back is very striking, the faces are standard Gemaco as far as I can tell.

A deck like that will never prosper.

if i get it around 30 years ago, i may be win that... haha

Just a few bricks, in my private reserve.

Ah, so you-knows-how-many!

Hee hee, the benefit of being the person that made them!

That would help, yes.

Did yours come in a very nondescript white tuck box with a large cellophane window on one side? No seal, or cello on the tuck?

Thats actually a really nice back design. Add some color, shadows and highlights and you"ll really have something!

I remember these from a while back. Here's the link to where they were sold: http://www.cheetahplayingcards.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yep, it sure did. Does that mean it's an unlimited edition that's worth far less?

Some stuff I got in while the site was down;

Thanks to Sharpie for the Luxury deck:


Got my stuff from UtterFool, filled some holes in my collection and got some cool mystery decks too.



Probably the most cool shipment, got my 3 bricks of damaged decks from Mike. What is super cool is that I was able to open damaged decks as my "openers" and then keep a sealed pristine deck for collecting. Also forced me to go through my entire collection and figure our which decks I have excess of and can get rid of. I'll be having a rather large sale soon as it look like I have about 200 to sell.

Glad you enjoy your order from us!!!

Thanks!

I just got this in from a friend. Fun fact, the size is 9 cards wide by 6 tall, making it almost a perfect square.
(USPCC's sheets are 7 wide and 8 tall)
Sorry I cant show the edges or the whole thing for obvious reasons.

No idea. It just means that we have the same one

Got my Ambassador kit this week

Nice catch Orthopedic

By the way, I really like that Leopard deck. I want to hunt one of them down, what with me being a big fan of all members of the feline family. Nice catch on that one.

Last item added to my collection was Aurum by Paul. Love that deck.

From Japan? Are they printed by USPCC?

Yes they are Evan...We had another thread a while back to check those facts. Looks like USPCC did a special order in orange for someone in Japan. I think even Mike confirmed it

EDIT this is the first thread on orange http://www.unitedcardists.com/viewtopic ... +ho+orange

I had only seen the circle backs for the longest time until just a few weeks ago where the same seller posted the Fan backs

Finally two decks I have wanted for a long time!
